Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30 detergent oil
with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL,
or higher.
1. 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.
2. Run the engine a few minutes before changing the
oil to warm it.
Note: Warm oil flows better and carries more
contaminants.
3. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. Refer to
Preparing for Maintenance (page 16).
4. Tip the mower onto its side, with the dipstick down,
until the upper handle rests on the ground.
5. Set an oil-drain pan under the dipstick.
6. Remove the dipstick and drain the used oil into an
oil-drain pan (Figure 31).

7. After draining the used oil, return the mower to the
operating position.
8. Remove the dipstick (Figure 32) and pour about 3/4
of the crankcase capacity of oil into the oil-fill tube.
Note: Max. fill: 20 oz. (0.59 l), type: SAE 30
detergent oil with an API service classification of SF,
SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.

9. Wipe off the dipstick end with a clean cloth.
10. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube, and screw it
in until it stops.
11. Remove the dipstick and read the oil level on the
dipstick; refer to Figure 33.
1. The oil level is too low;
add oil to the crankcase.
2. The oil level is too high;
remove oil from the
crankcase.
• If the oil level is too low, add a small amount of
oil slowly to the oil-fill tube, and then repeat
steps 9 through 11 until the oil level is correct
as shown in Figure 33.
• If the oil level is too high, drain the excess
oil until you obtain the correct oil level on
the dipstick. To drain the excess oil, refer to
Changing the Engine Oil (page 17).
Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is
too low or too high and you run the engine,
you may damage the engine.
12. Install the dipstick securely by hand.
13. Recycle the used oil.
