    Servicing a lawnmower

    My son asked me how to get the oil out of a lawnmower to service it and put fresh stuff in?

    My response.....'I dunno' lol.

    Any help on how to service a lawnmower would be appreciated.

    Cool, not meaning to be smart, but making sure.
    as Growler said, small sump plug at the base of the engine, some require blades removed to access. Please disconnect spark plug so no chance of accidental start.
    If hard to get to, turning the mower upside down to drain oil can be easier, remove spark plug(s) and pull cord once correctly back on wheels to ensure no hydraulic lock in cylinder.
    cheers

    If you have to drain through fill holes, always do it with spark plug up.
