Default Winterizing Gas Lawnmower?

I use a brand called STABIL and it has worked for the last ten years. I also
agree withthe advice of changing the oil in the spring. I always do this
before I mow for the first time.

Where would you buy "fuel stabilizer"? I've never seen such a thing.

Would
a Home Depot have something like that? Thanks!

Put some fuel stabilizer in the fuel and run engine a few minutes.

Leave Oil in the engine then change at the beginning of the season, if

you
change the oil now condensation may set in anyway over the winter and

should
be changed in the spring.

I have 2 gas lawnmowers, and I have no idea what I need to do to them,

so
that they will operate properly in the spring when I'll need them

again.
Should I drain the gasoline? Put in an additive? What about the oil?

Does
it need to be drained? Any suggestion/advise are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
