How To: Riding Lawnmower Oil Change

[@joer1757]

before installing the new filter, it is recommended to 1/2fill the filter with oil and let it sit so the filter can absorb the oil. a great video..thanks

[@xsjadomonkey]

Always learning things, even after all this time! Thanks for watching!

[@whitshade]

Well done on both the oil change and the video. This is very informative and clear. I found the tips especially valuable. You really drive home the importance of keeping your mower's engine clean. Thanks for uploading this.

[@xsjadomonkey]

Thank you so much!! Sorry that I don't have many more of these videos :(

[@mr.mr.moremr.7077]

those 10 dislikes are h8ers who can't stand videos that are actually quality.

[@xsjadomonkey]

Mr.Mr. & More Mr. hahahaha haters gonna h8. Thanks for the kind words! I need more of those these days. Good luck with the mower!

6 years later do u still have this riding mower

[@xsjadomonkey]

Yep! Still running great! I bought it in 2006 and it is still going strong!

[@ammosimplycosts2much]

$20 for an oil filter? I recommend looking for one on Ebay. Most mower oil filters contain the same media as a Prime Guard, which costs $4.

[@xsjadomonkey]

Ebay is always a good place to find stuff. I just wanted to let people know where to get it if they were looking. Just trying to help people out..... Thanks for watching!

[@ammosimplycosts2much]

I didn't mean it in a bad way! Lol Good video. Just thought I'd let you know where to get cheaper parts!

[@xsjadomonkey]

Haha, it's all good! Sometimes things get lost in translation. I'll def. keep it in mind for the future!

[@ammosimplycosts2much]

Awesome!

[@xsjadomonkey]

Jordan Mutzabaugh i said it so that I don't get blamed in case someone buys a shitty 5 dollar filter and their engine blows up lol. Happy mowing~

[@BIGSARGE64]

Good Video, $20 for the filter, you killing me dude...lol

[@lpassassinfreestyle505]

I liked the video bro. But umm my mower doesnt have that release valve. I think i have to unscrew guess they call it a hex nut. Any ideas if the ride on craftsman LT 1500 420cc has a release valve? Must be changed asap

[@xsjadomonkey]

Firstly, sorry about the late reply!! Did you end up finding a valve?

[@mr.mr.moremr.7077]

is the oil filter necessary for change?

[@xsjadomonkey]

Mr.Mr. & More Mr. It's the same as a car. When you get your oil changed, you remove contaminants like dirt and even metal pieces. The filter protects the engine from these things. If you keep your same filter, you keep the bad stuff and there is risk for re-entry back into the engine. If you want a clean engine, change the filter :)

[@mr.mr.moremr.7077]

Cool. Thanks. I had a riding lawn mower I help my dad with and me and him BOTH missed that feature. thank you very much

[@xsjadomonkey]

Mr.Mr. & More Mr. if you have any questions, please ask me!! I am happy to help

[@DS-kn4bs]

Nice video. It looks like you need to sharpen your mower blades, the grass looks ripped off instead of cut.

[@xsjadomonkey]

Yeah. At the time of this video they really needed sharpening haha. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@mikedaniels5359]

thanks dude

[@xsjadomonkey]

you're welcome. glad to help out

[@theoubrelifechronicles8850]

i feel stupider than before

[@xsjadomonkey]

Brittany & Nicholas Oubre why is that?

[@chrisowens2911]

OK. Why the fuck did he take forever to pull that dipstick out.?!!!!

[@xsjadomonkey]

lol it was more of a way to show how dirty the area actually is. I could have taken it off quickly, but I also didn't know how much dirt was there. I could have knocked a bunch of nasty shit into the oil well. If you like dirt in your oil.....cool?

[@nike12000haha]

You put oil on the rubber of the filter not to make it "tighter" but to make it come off easier next time...

[@DS-kn4bs]

+nike12000 Also forms a seal.

[@mr.mr.moremr.7077]

Don't the oil get bad too so it sticks? im really stupid to this kind of stuff doe

[@johnslawncaretips4103]

No man don't put that used dirty oil on the filter gasket used the clean oil on the filter gasket

[@xsjadomonkey]

I get it man haha. But 6 years later and with over 500 hours on the mower, I guess I did something right haha.

[@chrislovett87]

Wow, millennials 🙄🤓

[@xsjadomonkey]

Chris Lovett ? What does being a millennial have to do with changing oil?
