Using the Oil Drain Plug
If your engine is equipped with a drain plug, it would be located under the lawn mower deck. Look carefully as the drain plug may be obstructed by clumps of turf or debris, the belt guard or the mower blade (use caution when moving the blade).
Yes, you can absolutely change your oil filter without emptying the oil. The placement of the oil is actually untouched by a filter change. If any oil comes out, it is only what is trapped beyond your anti-drainback gasket inside the filter.
Be sure to shut off the engine if there is any amount of gasoline inside of the oil tank. Completely drain the oil tank using the drain plug and allow the oil tank to air out and dry overnight. Do this outdoors. Fill the oil tank with new oil.
Replace the drain plug and gasket with the correct parts for your vehicle. A traditional-style plug and copper, aluminum or rubber gasket work well, or cold weld a brass engine oil drainback valve into the pan.
Remove the oil fill tube`s dipstick and tilt the mower in the direction of the container until oil begins to drain out. Never turn the lawnmower upside down, as this will cause the carburetor to flood and could damage the engine.
Be sure to shut off the engine if there is any amount of gasoline inside of the oil tank. Completely drain the oil tank using the drain plug and allow the oil tank to air out and dry overnight. Do this outdoors. Fill the oil tank with new oil.
