Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Fumoto oil drain valve


Question
Hello I am trying to find an oil drain valve for my Kawasaki engine on my new Toro lawn Mower. Lawn mower is 21" commercial HD model 22298. It has a kawasaki engine : FJ180 V KAI - AM25. The fumoto drain valves look good but my question to you is ? can you tell me which drain valve I need OR can you suggest a drain valve & tubing to drain the oil from the side of the engine rather than tipping the mower over on it's side. At 124 lbs that becomes a bit of a chore.
Thanks
Ken

Answer
Google "oil vacuum pump extractor".  

I use this one:  Mityvac 7400 7.3 Liter Fluid Evacuator

You can buy less expensive model that will fit your needs.  $30-40 US is well worth it...makes changing the oil a breeze.

Avoid the cheaper siphon models...get a vacuum model.

This model may fit your needs:  Briggs & Stratton 5431K Oil Extractor Pump, 4-Liter

Just warm the oil by running the mower for 5 min or so and then shut it off.  Insert the hose in the warm oil, give the tool a few pumps and suck the oil out of the engine.  You may need to wiggle the hose around a little to may sure it is sucking all the oil out.
