@52alobar ps unhitch? spark plug wire. thanks
@lukedoc12345 correct tiping mower over to drain oil? can create probs,all you need to remove oil plug is a socket wrench with an extender,tip mover over gas side down and stick in wrench and turn,easy as pie.Have oil pan ready.
Thank you very much for taking the time for making these videos….I realize there may be other ways….but I’m often a visual learner? and your videos have helped me.
thats the wrong? way dude!!!
Screw the rest of em, if it works im down.? Thanks for the info!
how often are u supposed to do? it?
@SilentSinX7 or you could? use the drain plug underneath the lawn mower usually loctaed near the blade.
WWBD??
Dieselsanddiodes, Thats correct. Tipping won’t hurt it, but it can cause needless problems. Every 4-stroke lawnmower engine has a drain plug. You use IT, NOT the fill hole.
Using the DRAIN? is easier than tipping.
I thought that tipping some briggs motors in the direction of the muffler caused oil to pool in the valve chamber, or something like that, then it gets sucked in to the intake through the PCV tube. If this is the case then on some engines you do NOT want to tip it to the side to drain it like this. research your mower before trying this. it wont kill the mower? but will foul your air cleaner and plug and make a mess and hassle. Isn’t there a proper drain plug underneath most briggs motors?
yup it’s that SIMPLE. tilt the engine, pour it out and you replace it with new oil and? it’s done. if you take it to mechanic to do this, they will charge you for something that anybody can do and they’ll probably laugh at you =]
You mean, it is that simple?….I’d wondered how to do it? for 9 years and when I inquired about it with my neighbors, they avoided the subject concerning changing the oil. Must people go to a place to do so, just like a car…i mean this is a cosmic joke or what?
That is? NOT how to change the oil in a lawn mower!
thank you ever so? much sir.
dang, this? is easier than i thought. Thanks BRO! it helped a lot and saved a lot of time.
sae 30? motor is the best friction u can out of oil on a riding mower
Ok, i was wondering about that, thanks for the tip,? awesome.
Excellent! Thank you.?
