I had a JD L130 with 23 hp Kohler engine --only changed air Filter maybe 3 times in 13 years, always kept foam outer filter clean and blew out paper filter. In all those years, the Kohler engine never used a drop of oil. Upgraded to a Z500R JD mower just Recently, hope that it will last like my old mower....

Just broke my oil filter wrench trying to get the factory installed oil filter off. How the hell do I get this thing off.

Not a good video. If you don't put a heavy plastic sheet under the mower, you'll be sorry. Also the oil drain tube is too short.

I have the Z235, the drain hose on mine is a few inches shorter than this and only makes it to the very edge of the frame so you can't point it downward whatsoever

klutch14u I agree. I have a z225 and it just pours all over the deck. Bad design. I fitted a extension hose on mine.

The owners manual says 2 quarts of oil. That is too much and will ruin an engine!! Check the dip stick level when filling!

How do you get the drain valve open? I'd like to see that process described or in a video.

Video is fine and informative. But why demonstrate a oil change on that perfect driveway? No cardboard/tarp. I'd bet 1000$ that there were oil stains after the Video was made.

how many quarts of oil?
@mikejoyce71573 жыл бұрын
Some paperwork says 1.75 quarts. Some paperwork says 2.0 quarts. I'm guessing this is with an oil filter change.
