Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): oil change, briggs and stratton, lawnmower engine


Question
Hi. I have a briggs and stratton quantum xte 60 lawnmower engine and feel it needs an oil change but cannot see where to let the oil out. your help would be greatly appreiated. thank you. Ian.

Answer
This is easy. Read your owners manual.
Just kidding, believe it or not it comes out where it went in.
Tip the mower and pour oil out the dipstick tube. When the mower is on its side, this is a good time to scrape under the deck and sharpen the blade.
Remember. The engine holds less than a quart, about 20 oz.
