[@suiningwojdat5123]

Thank you very much for your videos, this video helped me to fixed my lawnmower, now my lawnmower worked very good,

[@rjguess]

Wonderful! Thanks for washing. I appreciate your time! Have a blessed life.

[@tamimcguire7719]

So glad I found this video!! We had the same problem with the exact mower. This video is so good and it works!! Thank you so much for giving clear instructions and great video!!

[@rjguess]

Thank you! I appreciate that. You should watch my other video on draining the oil with the Drainzit hose! It will make it even better!!! Glad my video helped you.

[@k.c.8872]

Mine with a plastic oil drain guide and I prefer the one that you worked up. The one that came with it didn’t even go down at an angle and all the oil just backed up and was all over that platform so I’m going to rig me some up like you did thank you for the video and help me out a lot.

[@rjguess]

Great! Thanks. I am also working on making a far better and cleaner way to do it. Keep an eye out on my channel. I’ll hopefully have this up in a week or two.

[@rjguess]

Stay tuned, I found a far better way. A person in the comment se ruin suggested an item that will help 100% better. I’ll be uploading the video in a day or two.

Tip for drain nut; I took two 21mms one with a 1/2 drive and put a lug nut inbetween to break it loose and tighten it back up. Don’t waste money on a socket that you’ll only need for one application.

[@rjguess]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamomma8975]

@@rjguess thanks for the video my man. Was super confused about the oil filter. Mine doesn’t have one either.

[@rjguess]

@@jamomma8975 yeah, I thought that to be strange as well when I first changed the oil in this. Thanks for dropping the tip also. I’m sure that will helps others who come by this video.

[@user-mq7gm7ou4i]

Video helped thanks. Weird question I did not see you do anything about the oil filter. Does this model even have an oil filter. I don't see one in the video or on my mower.

[@rjguess]

Yes, this model that I have does not have an oil filter. I should have made that clear in the video. Thanks for watching!!

[@paulmysliborski4832]

Great vid. Google the "Drainzit" oil change hose. It'll change your life. (Well maybe not, but it will make the oil changes on these mowers easy as hell). Lol I installed one on my TB 30 Troy-Bilt (same as the Craftsman R110) after my first messy oil change. I'll never deal with that mess again..........

[@rjguess]

Thanks! Might be another video for me to put on my channel! I appreciate this!

[@jcallesano]

My neighbor had the troy built version, he vacs the oil out and fills it. Done.

[@rjguess]

Nice!!

[@roywallace3964]

YEP! I learned my lesson. SO much easier now.

[@SRX2004]

I have the Murray version of this mower. Whenever I've had the oil changed the mower guy used a pump to pump out the oil from the dipstick area. I had no idea my mower had an oil plugbut it does. Which is better - using a pump or removing the oil plug to drain the oil?

[@rjguess]

Both ways are very efficient for removing the oil. The drain plug is just messier. Not everyone has a pump. I don’t. So I do mine this way to save me money. I’ll usually let it drain for about 15-20 minutes. Just to get as much old oil out as possible. Thanks for watching. I hope I helped answer your question.

[@EricBlairMRERICBLAIR]

WHY NOT: PUT A PIPE NIPPLE BACK IN THE ENGINE & MAYBE A FLEX FITTING + A PLUG FOR NEXT TIME! ( Miss signs you don't change your oil more often anytime you get the urge put the pan down take the plug out after you warm up the engine put the plug back in add oil start the engine check the oil level and wait 10 to 50 hours and do it again I'm definitely do it once before you put it away! One se ( RIP) potentially plug in mine too I don't know but the hardware store I could bring him the plug and I'll give you a pipe or flex hose so you can change your own easy!) That doesn't work for the new Toro never have to change the oil just turn the lawn mower upside down over your head and shake the oil out for that one you going to have to find a low point drain area drill it tap it and put the fixture in or get a oil evacuator I've got both and I sure would like to get all the oil out especially the crit on the very bottom the twinkles when he goes into the drain pan looks like the Milky Way galaxy from all of metal shavings still in the engine! Don't laugh before I started doing that the engine was built at 19 82 that still runs today! ⛽🪫🙏😊

[@rjguess]

Thanks. I recently bought me a Drainzit hose for this. Makes it a lot easier and better!

[@brandongamble1021]

I just bought one just like this for 100 bucks all it needed was a spark plug a battery and some gas it fired right up

[@rjguess]

Nice!!! Great deal! Thanks for watching.

[@roywallace3964]

Beware of overfilling! This mower needs only a qt. And no more. I learned this lesson after overfilling just a few ounces. It smoked when starting up and would die after bout 15 minutes of running.

[@rjguess]

Thanks for the info.

[@mrbubetube]

do you still have the manual for your mower? the manual says it comes with a plastic oil drain sleeve that snaps onto the oil drain plug.

[@rjguess]

Mine was a display model. I didn’t get that part or a manual.

[@randalltanner9316]

I got the sleeve with mine worked great,but I just ordered the drain hose for mine 12 dollars

[@PurpleSideBlack]

I have the Troy-bilt TB30 version of this mower. It's a 2017 model purchased in Canada at Canadian Tire. Mine came with a plastic oil drain trough. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but I've used it twice and I still got oil all over the frame, deck, tires, and my garage floor. The second time I used it, I was prepared and put plastic garbage bags all under the mower, lol.

[@mrbubetube]

@@PurpleSideBlack the manual says the sleeve and the plug are designed so that you must snap the plastic oil drain sleeve onto the drain plug first, then remove the drain plug. It also helps if you tip the opposite side of the mower up so that the oil will be released on a downhill. That should prevent the oil from running backwards and onto the frame. The manual provides a full set of instructions with illustrations on how to do this properly.

[@davidstephens8871]

Per this mowers owner's manual, it takes 57 fluid ounces of oil with an oil filter. One quart is only 32oz. I know there's not 25 oz of oil in the oil filter.

[@rjguess]

The model I have does not have an oil filter. I checked the dip stick on my mower and it was full. That’s the purpose of having a dip stick. For those of us who lose the owners manual or can’t remember exactly how much oil it takes. I do appreciate your information. Thank you also for your watch time!

[@davidstephens8871]

@@rjguess no oil filter? That's the same mower I have and I've changed my filter twice. Sorry for the misinformation on my part

[@rjguess]

@@davidstephens8871 no worries. I’m met and talked with some people that have this style of motor. Some have oil filters and others don’t. There must be a slight difference in the model? Not sure though.

[@Howie-d2c]

Why not the filter too?

[@rjguess]

This model does not come with a filter. Some other ones do. But not this one does not.

[@USADroneParts]

Park the mower on an incline and less oil will spill out the back.

[@rjguess]

I bought a Drainzit hose. It’s way better and easier now. But thanks for the idea.

[@Engineer1897]

This mower doesn't have an oil filter (?)

[@rjguess]

No sir. Not that I’m aware of. Kind of like a push mower. Just drain and replace.

[@rickymac54321]

Some with the MTD engine have an oil filter.

[@paulmysliborski4832]

The TB 30 B models with the 344cc 10.5hp Briggs & Stratton do not have an oil filter. The TB 30 models with the 382cc Powermore (MTD) engines do have one.

[@andrewcisneros2457]

​@@paulmysliborski4832 I think I have the 328cc mine has a oil filter on the other side

[@TheCottonTop]

Pretty sure it takes closers to 38/40 ounces of oil, but….

[@rjguess]

Good to know. I just fill it until the dip stick is full. As long as I’m on a level surface that is. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@berniemurphy6556]

Does not have an oil filter

Not on this model. Some do. But not this model. Thanks for watching.

He didn't change the oil filter. Change oil filter before you put the oil back In.

My model does not have an oil filter. Otherwise I would have added that in this video. I should have specified in the video that this model does not have an oil filter.
