The oil drain outlet is right above the wheel assembly and in the middle of the snow thrower engine. How do I empty the oil without spilling?

I previously bought a Husky riding lawnmower which came with a clear flexible plastic tube that I use to drain the oil on both.

Changing the oil on this and all of my small engine equipment always seems more annoying than it ought to be. I purchased a PELA oil extractor (a hand vacuum pump that sucks the oil from the dipstick port at the end of season, when the engine is warm but not hot), this has made the task cleaner/simpler and has been a worthwhile purchase.

I remove the wheel and gently lower the snowblower to the floor. Then I position a pan fashioned out of a cut off plastic milk jug or something similar to catch the drain oil. Remove the drain plug and loostening the filler tube cover or dipstick cap to allow air in thus facilitating glug-free flow. Once drained I reverse the procedure and ADD NEW OIL TO THE PROPER LEVEL. Then I TRIPLE check all plugs and oil level BEFORE attempting to start the engine to ensure there is the proper amount of crankcase oil present and there are NO LEAKS

Sorry I haven't looked at that yet. I was waiting for the first 100 hours of use before I change the oil.

You could also use a flexible funnel (or better yet - make one from a plastic soda bottle). Hold it snug against the bottom of the crankcase and guide the oil to a container on the floor.

There is a drain. It's in the back between the wheels. It is a push pull plug. I prefer a threaded plug.

To empty the oil unscrew the valve at the front of the unit, tip it over and pour it out.

The oil cooler lines adapter is in the way to slide the billet sleeve on to the filter, what is the work around for that? The stator plug seems to be removed as well to line the sleeve up properly -- or am I attempting something incorrectly?

the viper engin doesn't have a drain. it has two fillers on either side. you have to tip the whole unit to drain. the oil. furthermore, You have to use a long narrow funnel to fill the oil. (not the best access for oil)

Smaller O-Ring goes under filter drain cap at bottom of the filter. Use 1/4" socket drive to remove the drain cap. Plastic tool is used to drain the oil left in the filter after the drain cap is removed.

I use canola oil. Its easy to drain. You should have a funnel to catch the oil. I place the oil back in the original container after it cools, for either reuse or to place in the trash. Hot water, soap and a brush seems to clean it up well. Careful using a brush on the basket since it can grab bristles. I found a scouring pad works well on the basket.

There is no filter on the drain. What I do is drain the oil into a clean jug and use a filter such as a coffee filter in the basket and that will filter out anything you wouldn't want in your oil for the next use.

The oil is included with the blower, but is not in the engine. Oil has to be poured in after assembly.

This lubrication is for use before you winterize your pressure washer. You attach the can to where the garden hose would be connected and empty the entire can into your washer. It will flush out your pump of water and get it read for the winter. I suggest you replace the pump and engine oil too.

You simply push it on over the oil filter while engine is cold, remove while engine is cold also

The back bottom of the machine there is a small vent. That vent, it slides out and mine is a little tough to open, this is where you place the oil.

I have not used the machine in months. I'm pretty sure it was a normal counter clockwise oil plug(I'm not positive). I had to use pliers to get it off. Just be careful not to break plastic. Pliers should be able to grab it around the outside, even if the plastic is broken. Hope this helps a little.

Oil pressure unit is located on the top of the block in the back right behind the intake manifold you need to remove the engine sight shield cover to remove it.need small hands...

At the base of the unit. The hose for draining stays cool. However I would wait a bit and let the hot oil cool down before draining. Oil drains out nicely and then you can wipe out the entire cavity with a paper towel.

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.

Don:I pull it by the power cord. But once a year I make sure that the cord is securely attached to the housing. I also tighten 4 screws for motor housing lightly to avoid the oil leak once a year. The first one leaked oil over time and killed the motor.
