do these units use a gas/ oil mixture
dcaruso2002 , Craftsman Riding Mower do not take gas oil mix. Your lawn tractor will be equipped with a 4 stroke engine. Clean and fresh gasoline should be used in the fuel tank of a four-stroke engine. The gasoline should be a minimum of 87 octane, and up to 10 percent ethanol(fuel with no ethanol best). As far as motor oil a quality 10W30 will normally suffice, always best to check your manual. For 4 stroke small engine oil pours straight into crank case through fill tube, to full mark on dipstick(do not over fill). Links below have more info. if needed. Good luck.

If there is an oil fill/check location then regular gas. SAE30 for the oil. normally there is a drain pipe so won’t just go all over chassis when changing. I think 30-50 hours should change oil (most people do at the start of a season).
