What about the oil for lawnmowers with two-cycle engines?

By David Beaulieu, About.com

Question: What about the oil for lawnmowers with two-cycle engines?
Answer: Lubrication for two-cycle engines (also called "2-stroke" engines) is achieved by mixing the recommended oil into the fuel. Thus with two-cycle lawnmower engines, there isn't any oil to "check." The only checking comes in making sure you're using the recommended type of oil, and using it in the recommended ratio.
