No

There aren't even any oil filters on most of them.

Change it.

Oil is cheap.

In fact, use Mobil 1.

 Do you do that in your car ?    Most small engines only hold about 20 oz.   If it is a item that is used only once in a while you can get by with a couple of years.   A air cooled engine on a mower is operated at high outside temps to begin with.  Oil breaks down with heat.   After having said that I have seen small engines  run for years  with low and very dirty oil.   So I guess it depends on how long you want the engine to last.  Roly

I just looked into a new 8 HP B&S motor.  Just over $500.  Even the best oil is only a few dollars per quart.

B&S doesn't make motors.
