Very meticulous... great instructions whether you are NEW to mechanical work, or just didn't know how to remove the plastic panels... :)

Great video. I appreciate you taking the time to go through this.

Excellent " How to change oil and filter" for those of us doing it for the first time.

[@DIYJIM]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KikiObryan]

I'm a 70 yr old lady, DIY, going to change oil & filter myself for the first time. I appreciate your video and the details you go into. Also, nice calm instructions and you didn't rush through it. Thank you 😊

[@DIYJIM]

You are very welcome, hope it helps!

[@mrrustygray]

Bought a similar tractor, was told at purchase the seller would do first oil change. Called them up, they said no, not only no, but in no way would they ever entertain that. Thank you, Husqvarna dealer, for sending me to any other seller. I am now changing my own oil , just to maintain a warranty that I now know the dealer will not honor either.

[@DIYJIM]

Sorry to hear that

[@harrydoherty8299]

i’m a retired mech. there’s a nice trim tool that’s made to remove panel clips. your chisel works too.i also check for oil leaks after any oil change. great video. you covered everything nicely.

[@DIYJIM]

Thanks, I should buy that tool

I just bought a Husky from a private party no book no nothing, I will B printing it off of the inner tube. The main reason 4 watching was2 see the trick on getting to the oil drain piece. A good straight forward video, with no unnecessary B.S. and he was easy to understand . Give the video a 10!!! Carl from Bakersfield Ca thanks

Thanks Carl hope all is well have a good summer.

That lawnmower is showroom level clean! Doesn't look like has been used much. I'm surprised the oil needed changing. Mine is very, VERY dirty. Thanks for showing how to change the oil and oil filter.

[@DIYJIM]

I cleaned it before making videos of it. Thanks for watching

[@BeckVMH]

Not always practical or necessary for some, but blowing the debris off and a quick wipe down after each use works wonders long term.

[@Kimberly-ul1ph]

Thanks. My husband passed away and I don't like to pay someone that might not do the job correctly if at all. I am going to make an attempt at doing this on my own in the next week or so. 🙏 God Bless you and your family always

Hey jim. Thanks for the video. My biggest problem was how to get those darn side screens off in order to get to the oil filter and drain valve. But the remainder of the video was very helpful.

[@DIYJIM]

I’m glad you found the video helpful.

[@mikesobol4879]

Excellent video! Very instructive! Using the carboard to catch oil so it does not run all across the frame is great! I used aluminum foil for the first time yesterday and that worked very well. I find the foil is easier to custom bend around the engine!

[@DIYJIM]

That’s a good idea maybe I’ll try that next time. Thanks for watching.

[@YeeeeeHaaaaa]

Great video. I liked how you explained in detail step by step for this especially the warming up part. A lot of people do not know this. These days there is no one to teach them as they HAVE to rely on people such as yourself on these KZbin videos. Along with leaning the mower to one side then the other. Now if they would actually do it. Lol Again great video. 💪💪💪👍👍👍

[@charliecrash3450]

Tip: Ideally, park the mower leaning toward the drain plug side to evacuate most of the oil. Elevate opposite side with bricks, 2x4's, or whatever is at hand.

Thanks for the video. Here is a little tip. The YTH20k46...and possibly some of the others use an oil filter that is interchangeable with a 6Cyl 2000 Mustang. In Walmart Supertech terms...that is the ST3600. I would recommend filling the filter before screwing the new one back on.

Just stick the hose directly to PET bottle and you will get rid of cleaning the drip pan and save some time too.
