- Ensure that the fuel tank contains little or no fuel so that fuel does not leak out when you tip the mower onto its side.
- Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil to warm it.
Note: Warm oil flows better and carries more contaminants. - Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
- Remove the dipstick.
- Tip the mower onto its side, with the dipstick down, to drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube
- Return the mower to the operating position.
- Slowly pour oil into the oil fill hole, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick by wiping the dipstick clean and then inserting, but not screwing in, the oil fill cap into the hole.
Note: Fill the engine crankcase with oil until the dipstick indicates that the engine oil level is correct. If you overfill the engine with oil, remove the excess oil as directed in step 5. - Install the dipstick and hand tighten it securely.
- Dispose of the used oil properly at a local recycling center.
