Great how to video! I am new to the Honda mower and you taught me that the Honda will empty tipped on the ground without gymnastics. Previous mowers needed to be elevated. Also, appreciate the oil container tip...I always put "spout down".
Glad you enjoyed it JC. Keeping the spout up is definitely important!
*me in my head* “dude why the cardboard just do it in the grass”
*homie in video looking out for me* “and please guys don’t do this in your grass because any spills you’ll have dead spots forever”
LOL
Thanks for taking the initiative to help me.
You are welcome sir!
Very helpful. THANKS
You are welcome Paul - glad I could help you out
Well done video. Thank you.
You are very welcome Nick! Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks so much, I was looking for an oil plug
You are very welcome - I originally was doing the same!
Thanks I got idea now.
You are welcome David.
Thank you. I just want to know what the capacity was and what oil to use and we're drain plug was. So 103 for sure definitely helps the drain plug is the dipstick. So now I don't have to worry about being a dipstick not knowing they just dump it out in a proper manner thank you. Little tongue and cheek but I do thank you and I would have been looking for that pipe plug on the bottom of the motor otherwise
Lol - you are welcome! Even though Honda didn't make it obvious, they did make it pretty convenient to change the oil!
I would recommend changing the air filter each year as well.
Yes, that is a good tip.
I use a measuring cup. 12 ounces. I just dump it in and only check oil before starting.
That would be a faster way. Good tip
Hello there, My lawn mower worked. Ran out of gas. I filed it with new gas it still isn’t working. Would it be that it needs new oil?
Hi - old engine oil won't be the cause of your problem. Could be a number of things. Checking the spark plug, fuel filter (if there is one) are two easy things you could look at.
Does it matter if I change the oil after Stabilizing the fuel? We have a two yr old Honda Craftsman from Lowes.
Also, can I assume there's no oil filter of any sort?
Hi D - It is no matter to change the oil after the stabilizer, as this is a 4-cycle engine, so the oil/gas are separate. Also, there is no filter!
@@growitbuildit Great, thank you
The manuel says use 30 under detergent oil ?
My manual lists 10W-30 along with several others.
Got a Honda mower but my wife for some reason decided to be a handy man and poured the oil into the gas tank. I thought I got it repaired but (after the winter) when I go to start the mower it starts up fine but when I go to cut grass it makes a hard revving noise. Any easy fix or am I going to the repair shop again? Or do I have to just buy an all new mower.
If it is just an instantaneous Rev, and maybe coughing black smoke, it could be a clogged air filter.
But when you start mowing and the blade engages, the engine should be working harder. It's hard to say without actually hearing it myself.
You may want to have someone look at it just to make sure nothing bad is happening.
If anything, the carb needs a cleaning. I would start with getting any oil out of the tank, and then also take the bottom of the carburetor off and empty that. The carburetor is behind the air filter. After that, put fresh gas in and run it. It will smoke for awhile but should start improving with use. If it doesn't want to run, then it's time to clean the carburetor. Do check there is the correct amount of oil in the engine.
Are you using car engine oil?
Yes. Just stop at the auto parts store and pick up a quart.
Is it not better to use small engine oil? 4 stroke oil?
Use whatever your owners manual says. For me, car engine oil is ok
Just run it until you run the gas out store it empty
You speak Metric. How Exotic!
Ha! I can speak any unit system except some of the older British ones. I have no idea how much a 'stone' is, or a dram of grog.
You are at 80% when you check the oil..... why not slowly add until you are at 100%?
Hi - from an engineering perspective, you just need to maintain a minimum threshold. So for filling fluids, 100% full isn't necessarily better.
You do know there is an oil plug on the bottom right?
Mine doesnt
UGH my mower is a husqvarna but with a honda engine. Year after year, it purs like a kitten and never has a problem.
BUT EVERY YEAR when I change the oil, this exact same thing happens to me, and oil spill everywhere! It drives me nuts! ALL they have to do is make the spout longer so it reaches OVER the body of the mower. But nope, you are required to make a mess doing this job!
It's all about speed! The trick is knowing where to put the pan.
@@growitbuildit I have a big oil drain pan that I use for my car and snow blower and everything. And it doesn't fit between the mower body and the spout. So spillage is guaranteed: ua-cam.com/users/shortsUfQrT_gctkg
Quickest way to remove oil is to freeze it. The convenience of a walk in freezer is lost with the inconvenience of walking 20kms to the nearest supermarket to access one however this can be offset in numerous ways, regaining the lost time.
• Ignore members questioning your access to the staff only area. In fact, keep your head down, act like you’re busy & you’re meant to be there & staff will ignore you. *Note:* Staff displaying a pimpled face above their name tag, on their neck to are likely to enter your designated freezer & stare at you in silence. It’s important to remember, although they are still staff members, they are your staff members & one should continue to devour the box of Maxinbon Ice creams, instruct Staff to grab a bottle of water off the shelves.
• Add water in oil reservoir to increase the speed of freeze.
• Carryout shopping whilst waiting for oil/water mix to freeze. Instruct staff to grab olive oil spray & baby oil.
• Advertise black ice block on EBay as murderabilia. Preserved ‘The Cecil Hotel’ water.
• Start Lawn mover as exiting the store to drown out Security’s request to pay for groceries.
• Note the mower will become hot quick with no oil, spray olive oil while continuing to walk home.
• Place Sausages on hot engine parts & enjoy, ensuring to ride the mover & eat sausages on
any downhill parts of the route.
• Tell staff member to STOP pushing once you have reached your property.
• Give a list of chores to the staff member after they’ve filled the mover with the baby oil & put all the shopping away.
• Set the staff member free prior to commencing next oil change.
Glad you had so much luck with this technique but it got me arrested.
It’s actually a very stupid thing to do oil gets thicker when warm so all the gunk stays in the motor
Oil gets thinner the hotter it gets and therefore drain faster. Saturated and any solids will also flow easier out of the engine when the oil is warmer and thinner.
