Husqvarna st224 Oil Change

[@Wallyworld867]

Have Had mine for about two years there are two oil plugs, one at the rear and one on the side of the engine with a black plug, which I looked in the owners manual, not noted of it kind of strange? The only reason I found out is it came somewhat loose and it was seeping oil out of there and I found it .

Thanks for Video I juts bough Husqvarna ST224 today I and I looked around no oil drain pipe to drain oil?? Did somebody fall a sleep at assembly?? Can’t believe it.. Now I don’t know where to buy that piece and will call Husqvarna

@@jaapongeveer6203 You’ll have to make your own custom.as I did go to Home Depot buy 3” treaded pipe and brass cap for the end.. Take your plug on side to know exact tread size and diameter that’s it brother 👍🏼👍🏼 Alan H

Same here was it Built wrong. I made up sometime to suck out the oil with my shop vac.

[@daspencer4537]

Same here. No freakin' drain pipe! I went and bought a fluid evacuator, takes me about 5 minutes to change the oil now, plus I can use the evacuator for changing the oil in all of my other toys.

@@daspencer4537 where did you get fluid evacuator

[@pacae911]

OMG !!! thank you very much for share you knowledge 😊

[@kerrygivens611]

I don't have a drain pipe and plan to buy the fluid evacuator. Is the oil plug located next/under the recoil handle?

Great instructional video. Thanks!

No filter to change?

[@geminiguy2001]

I went to change my oil and when I loosened the drain plug, there was no washer. Never leaked on me during last winter, so maybe they have a newer cap that doesn't require the washer?

[@jeef2491]

This implies that the oil can be changed only when it's freezing or below freezing. How can that be? Surely the engine will run when it's 50 degrees F. outside; I think people tend to change the oil during non-winter months so the blower will be ready for snow.

[@grsolutions3607]

The idea was to select an oil grade regarding the temperature conditions the machine will be used. The freezing temperature came from the fact that usually the snow blowers are used when temperatures are below 0 C (32F). The oil change can be done at 27C (80F) BUT the grade of oil used HAS TO BE for machines functioning at temperatures under 0C(32F). If you do the oil change at 27C and run the engine .... do it for a short period of time because the grade of OIL will protect the engine best at temperatures less then 0C (32F).

5w30 is fine for all temperature ranges. That's why it's called a multigrade oil

@@grsolutions3607 I have a new Husqvarna ST 224P and it does not have an oil drain tube nor does it have a top dip stick. What year was the model you were demonstrating?

Year 2016

@@rodspace53 Im in the same boat. I have no clue why they would remove those for the stupid solution they have now.

[@johnflynn6140]

the manual says 18.6 fl oz capacity why is it lower here, so from other comments from what I can tell is this is only relative if you have an older model which I dont

[@grsolutions3607]

Sorry for the misspelling ... "oil LICKS" has to be replaced with "oil LEAKS"

En 2019 pas de drain pour vidanger huile

[@jamienoslo4940]

I left the plug in. And just removed the cap at the end. Then leaned the snow thrower all the way back on the ground.

[@programmingchicago]

My manual for my Husqvarna ST224 says it should be 32oz of oil. But this says 16oz. I am confused.
