Thanks a ton. I have a manual for the 22 hp v twin and it shows two different oil drain systems, neither of which are on my engine. I tried calling Briggs and Stratton's help number in the manual and the best the automated system could do was direct me to local engine shops. No human interaction at all with B/S. It's the day after the 4th of July so no one is working today, but your video saved me. I've never seen or known about the little oil valve on the side of this engine, but your video was exactly what I needed. Thanks very much. Outstanding work.

1) I took off the yellow factory oil drain plug and installed a 1-1/2" brass bushing on the engine block drain & then reinstalled the yellow drain on to this brass bushing. That made each oil change, going forward much easier (no tube needed & no oil mess) as the oil now simply drained straight down into the pan. The brass bushing cost me $2.00 2) Before removing the oil filter, get a regular paper plate , and bend it in half (putting a V in the middle). Then slip the bent plate under the oil filter and proceed to remove the filter. "NO MORE MESS." 3) Your fuel filter is dirty and should be changed. Ebay has them, when I last looked, 5 filters for $2.50

Suggestion : for the filter side , to prevent all the oil on the frame , utilize an old gallon jug and cut it lengthwise in half just below the “tapered” top part of the jug, kind of like making a scoop . Trim it to fit just under the filter area and assure that the top of the makeshift “reverse funnel”is pointing to the waste oil receptacle . Keep the cap if it helps control the spillage.

Another great vid for newbies Dennis. Kudos. Punch a hole in the filter to drain it and put a thin rag atop the chassis before spinning it off. I saw your later vid on replacing the quick oil drain valve - instead of a cap on a nipple. On my old one I terminated w/ a 3/8” air line ball valve (I removed the handle and store it with my tractor stuff. I haven’t done it yet on the current tractor but I’ll probably just loctite double-nuts onto the valve handle shaft, and turn it w/ a nut driver.

Dennis, after I've drained the engine oil, and to avoid spills from the horizontally placed oil filter, I drill a 1/4" hole in the outside bottom edge of the oil filter. I can still place my filter wrench over the filter for its removal after the filter has drained of oil. It's a lot easier to wipe my drill bit than it is cleaning up all that spilled oil. -Gerry, Kirkwood, MO USA

It helps to take 2 pieces of wood at least 2 inches and place in front of each tire on the opposite side of the oil drain and push your mower up on the blocks of wood, it helps the oil drain faster that way and makes sure you get it all, I'm really kinda surprised he did not do this.

I called a local H repair shop and explained the problem - and that it would eventually fire after trying for a while - and he said that the choke cable was loose (sounds like).

Here's a tip...put a paper plate with several paper towels in it under the filter before you take it off. It will catch all of the oil. No oil on the frame this way. I use the Fram Tough Guard TG3614...instead of the OEM filter. It's longer, but it fits behind the cowling...and for 4$ you can get the Fram end cap wrench. I couldn't find an end cap wrench for the OEM filter. Fram customer service confirmed that the TG3614 was a better filter and would work as a replacement for my OEM Briggs filter...same as Fram PH8170. Here's another tip...use a gallon jug to catch the oil from the drain...that way you can put the cap on it and it won't spill. And, the mower is up high enough for the jug to sit right under the oil drain so that the hose fits right in. Better by far than the way that you're doing it. I save and use the gallon sized Arizona Iced Tea Jugs because they have screw on caps. Just thought you could use some advice after seeing how you're changing your oil.

For my first oil change I improvised by cutting an old shoebox top in half and fashioning it under the oil drain plug and oil filter to divert as much oil as possible. It worked well to keeping oil off the frame. Since you helped me, I'd like to offer a tip. I usually drain the gas from my lawn equipment engines during the Texas winter month so that old gas doesn't gum up the carburetors over time. I put an inline shutoff valve between the gas tank and fuel filter which allows me to shut off the fuel and run the engine until it runs out.🙂

Thanks for watching! Glad you found the drain tube. Check out my other video showing how I modded the drain port to eliminate keeping up with a tube. I agree, don't like extra parts. Your tip is great, I do the same with all my equipment. When it's time to store, I shut off the fuel valve and run the carb dry. Saves on a lot of maintenance. It's an old tip from my Dad. :)

i always put tinfoil under my oil filter and direct it down

Or a paper towel and saran wrap

Changing oil and not the filter doesn’t make any sense, filter should be changed every time. I use Synthetic 10w30. I put a paper plate under the filter and spray the frame with parts cleaner when done, seems to work pretty good. Just my input.

Thank you so very much for your most impressive and informative video! I have just purchased a YTH22V42 and have been perplexed at how to get to and operate the oil drain for a change, as well as the oil filter removal and replacement. It seemed impossible with the side plastic piece in place. Little to none of this was explained in the manuals or on delivery. Your video was one of the very best produced, easy to understand and helpful. God Bless You! You have helped me. Best wishes, Mark PS: Husqvarna and Briggs & Stratton need to be paying you for your excellent informative videos!

Thank you so much for your wonderful words Mark! I appreciate it very much. Yea, I could probably go for a deal with one of the manufacturers....haha!! Thanks again!

Tip , take a 16 penny nail and pierce the bottom of the oil filter... (make a hole) then do one in the topside... let it drain, then take a rag put it on the frame, then spin off only a little will get on rag..... you can make a v shaped trough out of aluminum foil or plastic jug and slip under the filter to catch the oil... good video....

Dennis, you can cut a full side of a 1 gallon milk jug and place it flat with slight upcurve on each side under the filter before loosening the filter and make a V in it to drain into the drain pan. :)

Great vid and I agree the oil drain "port" is just a PIA..it's for suburbanites who don't own a single wrench and I'll replace mine with pipe real soon..I put a piece of cardboard under the filter before loosening it and direct the flow into the drain pan...reduces the mess..

Great video as usual Dennis, I've gotten to the point now where I don't even have to dirty up an oil drain pan by using an empty 14 lb. cat litter jug (always plentiful supply with having 2 cats), they are twice as wide, very stable, and lower than using 5 quart oil containers which can tip over, I just place the end of the engine drain hose down inside it, I use a cut out piece of any type of plastic jug to make a channel wide enough to catch & direct the oil filter oil into the same jug opening with everything staying pretty much drip free, afterwards I just reseal the jug and take it and the drained filter (inside a disposable plastic grocery store deli container) to the recycling center whenever convenient.

I've never changed an oil filter before but you made it look easy! I'm going to try a use a dustpan and place it upside down underneath my filter and hopefully that oil will just drip down in the pan..... 🤞🏼

Thanks for watching, Deanna! The dustpan idea sounds great!!! Several folks have mentioned using a paper plate or aluminum foil to make a channel for catching and routing the oil also.

Since I've been viewing several videos trying to figure out the process, I saw where someone cut the top 1/2 side of a 1/2 gallon container (that has the handle) and used it to catch the oil and oil filter when you are removing old oil filter. Its a tight area and I haven't tried it yet, but since viewing your video I expect I will be successful and will try it. Thank you again.

That sounds like one of the best ideas yet! Several people have suggested various items to use as a tray to channel the oil to a container. If there's enough room to get the shaped 1/2 gallon jug in there, that would be perfect! Thanks for sharing this idea....I'll have to try it too. thanks for watching!

Great tutorial videos Bro! I just purchased a Husqvarna just like yours this year. I didn't get a parts manual or operators manual with the new mower. I guess they want you to download them or something to save on printing them and paper. Keep making your videos on the YTH22V46. They are very helpful.

When I changed mine a few weeks ago Dennis, I tilted the mower one way for the Oil Drain and the other way for the Oil Filter. Wasn't as messy.

That's a good idea...plus, you probably got more of the old oil out that way too! I've had several people mention that they've used things like paper plates, pie tins, etc to put under the filter and route the oil into a jug...that avoids a big mess. Also, I'm working on a video to show how to plumb up a different oil drain arrangement.....better than that funky drain valve Briggs uses. :)

Just what I needed! I couldn't figure out how to get the side flaps off to get to the oil spigot thingamajig - I was scared I'd break it if I pulled too hard. Thanks so much for this video! Very well done, and much appreciated!
