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).
He also recommends you replace the drain plug itself after every oil change. If it`s continually reused, it could eventually round out, leaving you with a larger issue. “Any time you take something off the car, you`re going to inspect it and look for any questionable situations,” Hines says.

While performing an oil and filter change on my lawn tractor, what can I use to clean the sludge that may be in the oil system?
ANSWER : You could use new oil diluted with kerosene, or even gasoline, to help remove sludge….just run it for a short time and then drain it. But since you have a filter to remove bits of metal from the oil I think there is no need to do anything except change the oil at recommended intervals. It would be helpful to buy a magnetic drain plug to trap small pieces of metal.

ANSWER : Put straight 30 weight motor oil in it. Not 10W30 or any multi-viscosity oil. Straight 30 weight motor oil.

Best of luck to you.James
