How to Change the Oil on a Craftsman Lawnmower?
It’s important to change the oil in your Craftsman lawn mower regularly. Old oil not only gets dirty, but the additives in the oil also break down over time. The oil in your Craftsman lawn mower should be changed after the first five hours of use and after every 50 hours of use, or at least once a year. Craftsman lawn mowers come equipped with a variety of engines made by Briggs & Stratton, Tecumseh and Honda. Some engines have a drain plug on the bottom under the mower deck; others lack a drain plug. The oil change procedure varies, but the basics are the same.
