Snapper Riding Lawn Mower Oil Change

[@bethl7602]

Those Snappers are designed to be rotated clear up. Those red bars sticking up on either side of the engine are to sit it on to change the oil and the blades.

Thank you! I happened to see this and wanted to let you know your comment helped me.

[@sweetgav9163]

English please. Like wtf are you saying? What do the red bars do???

[@bethl7602]

@@sweetgav9163 You can literally tip the whole mower up onto the rear frame. It is designed to sit on the red bars and the rear tires, with the front tires up in the air. If you drain the oil and gas, you can even store it like that for winter.

[@sweetgav9163]

@@bethl7602 thank you. Makes total sense now.

[@draperwebb1770]

Do you have to have a relatively empty gas tank before you tip it up? Or can it be kinda full?

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Use an empty paper towel tube. Works great.

[@FredFier69]

It's important to do this after running the mower for 20 minutes or so (or after mowing). The oil *should* be hot, so be careful - maybe use some insulated rubber gloves if you have them. Hot, disturbed oil drains better and will suspend more of the particles when you go to drain it.

They don’t have an oil filter?

[@carriegordon8636]

I’m trying to find the part number for the filter. I have this exact one. Trying to figure this out now. I guess he didn’t change his but yes there is a filter

[@KNR6292]

nope....my father has a 2019 snapper...it's got an oil filter....but my 2005 and older ones like this do not

[@fatharold1788]

No oil filter?

[@rajenderdayal9695]

This one does not use oil filter, has a fuel filter in the hose connecting from gas tank to engine.

[@nevenapudja]

What about the filter???

[@squirrelcovers6340]

There isn't one.

[@MrRunItUp]

@@squirrelcovers6340 yes there is, it's on the front of the motor directly right behind the seat

[@drassholecompany2326]

I got one very similar to this one. No filter.

[@wardad5628]

@@MrRunItUp some of their engines have them, some do not.

As a Christian, I appreciate when someone takes the effort to share their knowledge, even when its just about a lawn mower - simple but excellent tip - TILT the mower - thanks!

Why does religion matter in the context of lawn mowers?

[@soulbot119]

As a Jew, I appreciate when someone uses their turn signal before making a turn.

[@robclark8638]

Yea he never changed the oil filter. Half way done man.

[@KNR6292]

Your ignorance is on full display!! those models don't have a filter.

[@gibfrantz]

Probably should've brought front of mower down off ramp before checking oil level with dip stick :)

[@mrbubetube]

wow, that oil should NEVER be black like that. You should probably change it one more time after 1 cut to flush the rest of the dirty oil out.

[@Mike-su8si]

Dirty oils better than no oil

[@mrbubetube]

what year is that snapper?

[@rajenderdayal9695]

2004

[@mrbubetube]

@@rajenderdayal9695 wow, that's the newest model I've seen on youtube. all the other snapper videos show models that are 20 to 55 years old. I'm trying to find a video of the new snapper mowers but it seems like nobody buys the new snapper rear engine mowers these days.

[@squirrelcovers6340]

@@mrbubetube because they are junk.

[@mrbubetube]

@@squirrelcovers6340 yep, that's why they're discontinued.

[@Mike-su8si]

My friends hadn't been changed probably sense 2008 his smells a tiny bit like gas I can see why though and its black

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Good god man! Change the oil EVERY season, not 3!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@wrench]

i know right, i would want to keep that old briggs sill going.

[@Pevin_123]

Use aluminum foil instead of bottle. Lil Easier.

How much god damn oil? What kind of oil? Jesus can anyone do anything right!?!?
