How to change oil in Briggs & Stratton lawnmower?
i have a 5.25hp/21 inch briggs & stratton self-propelled lawn mower. I need to find out how to change the oil. It has a straight pipe that goes straight to the mower
Thats the dipstick, yes you can drain the oil out there, get a drain pan, take the dipstick out, tip the mower over carefully, and drain it. This doesn't get all the oil out though, there's a plug at the bottom of the engine (under the deck) that you put a ratchet (without the socket) into, lifting them up on blocks works for me, slip a container underneath, take the drain plug out and let the oil drain till it stops, put the plug back in tight.
NOW, the engine takes 20 ounces of oil maximum.... not a whole quart... if you still have the original 18 ounce oil bottle that came with it, fill that up with any name brand HD-30 weight. Thats a high detergent straight 30 above 40 degrees F.
Use 5w-30 or 10w-30 conventional below 40.
OR use a 5w-30 or 10w-30 synthetic oil anytime. Be sure to use that dipstick, wipe it off in a towel, on a level surface, insert it back in, take it back out, make sure its full or atleast halfway in that cross hatch. Keep it to the full mark, this is not like a car engine, it needs that oil!!
Be sure to dispose of the oil properly... auto parts stores like autozone or advance take used oil. Be sure to check with them first.
To add, change the oil every 25 hours.... to easily keep up with this, they do sell hours meters for them.
Change the paper air filter every year, you can clean the foam prefilter if it has one, but do not oil it.
Change the spark plug when it gets hard to start, Clean it and gap it once a year (.30)
Take a look at the blades once a year, replace or get them sharpened... make sure they are balanced (nail in a post, hang it by the hole and sharpen it on the side it goes off to till its level)
Be sure to remove or mark the things in your yard that you might hit...
And use a fuel stabilizer!!
