Putting the oil on the rubber ring helps it seal. Nice video!

Nice tip! Thank you

After adding the new oil run the mower a few minutes then recheck the Oil level again as the new Oil filter will take up some of the oil that you added

Good tip!

The foil thing is a nice idea but, I use a funnel wuth a long tube. After turning the wheel I wedge the funnnel under the oil drain pipe. I take an empty gallon water jug and put the funnel in the jug's mouth. I drain the oil into the jug so i can dispose of it properly. No need to use a drain pan only to have to drain it later on. Very simple task.😊

Glad it worked out for you!

It is almost beyond belief that competent engineers could not engineer a simple process to drain oil and avoid all the mess and unnecessary complexity associated with this process!

I agree. We’ve been replacing oil in engines for years, why do we need to make them harder?

Those drain plugs suck I have the same model and mine came loose Thank God I was an doing an oil change When I drained it only a half of a quart came out The thing was leaking oil when I was using it because of the loose drain plug If I hadn’t change the oil at that time I might have seized the engine. I am replacing their piece of garbage with a modified and much sturdier drain plug. There are videos on here on how to do it.

I feel like we as a society (especially the engineers designing these machines) should have perfected the oil change drain plug. I guess we'll need to keep holding our breaths.

It takes 2 quarts. Nice tip with the foil.
