I disagree slightly with the others, I believe "4 cycle engine" is the proper term and that "4 stroke engine" is a slang term. more

They are 4 and 2 cycle engines. FC-W 4 is the marine rating for 4 cycle oil. more
Quicksilver call all their 4 stroke oils '4 cycle'. The other oil you saw was probably a dino blend.
In order to understand how these two engines are different, you first need to become familiar with the basics.
Automotive engines have transformed over the years, but two main gasoline powered combustion engine designs remain: the 2-stroke and the 4-stroke. While we’re sure you’ve at least heard these terms before, do you really know the difference between them? How do they work, and which is better? Read on to learn the answers!
Watch this quick video for a further description of how the 4-stroke engine works: more
There are many reasons why your vehicle may be losing power, especially when accelerating. Some of these common causes are: Mechanical problems such as: Low compression, clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, clogged Exhaust Manifold. Malfunction of actuators such as: Bad injectors, bad fuel pump, bad spark plugs. here
A rough idle when the air conditioning is on may be caused by: A faulty or dirty IAC valve. A dirty throttle body. A faulty cooling or condenser fan. [links]
The problem of an engine bogging out is commonly caused by inefficiency of fuel or air flow or ignition to the carburetor. Check the Air Filter: The most common reason why an engine bogs out under acceleration is because the air/fuel mixture is ‘dirty’ or inefficient. here
The most likely reason why a two-stroke engine has lost compression is an issue with the piston or piston rings. The piston is the part of the engine that creates the compression needed to run. If there is a crack in the piston, air can escape and cause a lack of compression. more
When the AC is turned on it puts a load on the engine. The IAC valve is supposed to bump the idle speed up to compensate for this extra load put on the engine. If the IAC valve fails to go to the proper position for this extra load on the engine, the engine will shake and jerk while stopped and idling.
In Mediterranean-type climates, mowing the lawn can be a year-round proposition, making lawnmower maintenance a continual project. Draining and replacing oil is especially important because oil carries away the ash and carbon caused by combustion in the high-temperature whirlwind of the mower's small engine. Not all engines use the same oil. As always, your mower's owner's manual should be your guide in choosing what type of oil to put in your machine. more
Lawn mowers might be two-cycle motors, a simple system that requires a mixture of gasoline and oil to work, or a closed four-cycle system resembling a very small air-cooled car engine. Two-cycle motors cannot use motor oil. Mixture with gasoline requires a lightweight oil to lubricate all parts of the fast-moving, lightweight engine. Brands that manufacture two-cycle mowers typically also sell oil for their mowers. They also specify alternative lightweight oil with designations such as NMMA-TCW3, based on service classifications provided by the American Petroleum Institute.
Four-cycle motors are common in lawn mowers, riding mowers and garden tractors. Like automobiles, these motors store gasoline and oil separately. They use the same oil as automobiles, but owners should check manuals because these small engines are sensitive to additives and alternatives. Some will specify that detergent additive or synthetic oil be used. Typically, these engines use straight SAE 30 weight oil or multi-viscosity 10W-30 oil, both common auto engine oils.

Using words like.
Motorcycle blend = Clutch-saving formula + High RPM/Heat formula.
Race blend = High RMP/Heat/Stress/Load formula. (May require a hot-engine for operation.)
Diesel blend = Non-glow-plug damage formula + High Load/Stress/Friction formula.
Marine blend = Formulated for anti-corrosion caused by salt-water. (Uses sacrificial corrosion elements, but is nearly the same as lawnmower blend oil formula.)
Lawnmower blend = High heat, short run, low stress formula. (Super cheap stuff.)
Non-descriptive = Standard formula (Automotive grade oil) [links]
If we had a single gear, which might reduce RPM below 4,000 for a majority of the driving, then I would suggest some of the cheaper oils. However, RPM sharply climbs to 5,000+ and then continues to rise above 7,000 for the high-range of speed.
V3 / Sapero Current Max speed 72 mph
Motorstar Panther 150, "Hagrid"
In my opinion, that is still the best grade/formula/blend to use.
