This link addresses the issues that air cooled engines have and why they need synthetic.........because they run hot.

And for generators......

This would be a dedicated 4-stroke oil that is better suited for a typical mower engine.
Remember.those small engines don't have emission systems or cats,so the oil can have all the anti-wear additives that car oil cannot. The amsoil in the link below is actually very good for a 4-stroke engine.

I personally do not recommend using modern day automotive grade motor oil in a small air cooled engine........unless it is racing or off road preferably synthetic motor oil loaded with ZINC......or the stuff you guys like to knock, that is,........in all my small engines, and all are running perfect.
