Lawn mower 101

Lawn mower 101. We're renting a new place. It has a large garden, with a petrol/gas-powered push lawn mower to keep it tidy. The mower has two orifices, one for petrol/gas, the other for oil; what goes in each?
My first guess would be low-octane petrol/gas, and motor oil (30W or 40W); but I don't know, and I can't find anything via google. The mower is a Sears/Craftsman Eager-1, if that helps.

Uhm, unleaded gas and 10W30 oil. You list a zip code yet you apparently aren't a real 'merican. I'm callin' the cops. Like the cops, you might wanna pump the primer a couple times before pullin' the ripcord.

Actually, I was confused because I vaguely remember some lawn mowers having two stroke engines, where you mixed petrol and two-stroke oil; but I guess this is a normal four-stroke.
