Well, that's one side of the story.

damned if I know. I filled it with oil using the bottle that was in the box. The bottle and the instructions said that the bottle was the correct amount. As I'm mowing the lawn I noticed a small puff of smoke, then it went away fast, then all of a sudden boom it started to bellow smoke out and oil is dripping out the side of the block so I shut it off
