Changing the Engine Oil

Run the engine a few minutes before changing the oil
to warm it. Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
Refer to Preparing for Maintenance on page 12.

dipstick.
2. Tip the mower onto
its side (with the air filter
up) to drain the used oil
out through the oil fill
tube.
3. Slowly pour oil
into the oil fill tube
until the oil level is
up to the upper
limit mark (A) on
the dipstick. Do
not overfill.
Note: Max. fill: 0.58 quart (0.55 l), type: SAE
10W-30 or SAE 30W detergent oil with an API
service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or
higher.
4. Install the dipstick securely.
5. Dispose of the used oil properly at a local
recycling center.
