They are correct, turn the mower on its side with the gas removed and the oil filler off, the old oil will run out. Then replace the oil with new HD30W lawnmower oil

Testimonial: "thank you so much. my husband and I thaught that was the answer,but thaught is was ridiulouse.one other hint we took the plug out first, so it didn't "

I have a 19.2 craftsman 1/2" impact and it quits all the time when it quits if you move it back and forth it will start again, about a half dozen raps. Can you tell me how to fix, please

Turn it upside down squirt a lot of 3 in 1 oil into the air Jack put back into air hose leaving it upside down press your trigger oil will probably squirt out everywhere this is fine you may need to do this 2 or 3 times if you still have problems try WD-40, just make sure you flush with three and one oil after the WD-40

How to change oil in supercharger on 94 buick park ave ultra

It is not necessary to change the oil in the supercharger. The only maintenance required is to CHECK the oil level every 30.000 miles. GM says that it is normal for some of the oil to get lost during normal use by seepage therough the front seal area. It requires 5W-30 synthetic oil.

I guess if you really want to CHANGE the oil, it would require removal of the supercharger and remove the oil fill plug and turn the supercharger upside-down to make the oil drain out.

Ive replaced my transmission on my walk behind lawn mower it was almost upside down for 2 days ive replaced the gas and oil but it wont start

The gas and oil weren't in the mower when it was upside down were they?

If that's not the issue, then the problem could lie in the fact that neither tank was fully drained before being put upside down. What happens is that the oil and fuel mix and will drain into the wrong area.

My best suggestion would be to leave the mower upright for a few days before trying to start it If need be, drain the oil and gas and let both tanks dry out completely before refilling.

Clean the spark plug and change the filter.

If none of these ideas work, then you will need to take your mower in to be serviced.

OIL IS LEAKING OUT OF THE HEAD INTO FOOD BOWL. KITCHENAID SAID OK, FOOD GRADE OIL! I DON'T LIKE BLACK OILY CAKE OR COOKIES? CAN YOU HELP US TO FIX OURSELVES.

Kitchenaid says to run the machine on 'high' long enough to heat the gearbox well and then turn the machine upside down and let it cool.

What happens is when you don't use your mixer a lot the grease in the gearbox will separate into oil and thicker grease. Warming it and turning it upside down is supposed to mix all the grease together again and allow it to flow to the top of the gearbox.

Give it a try, check back if you get no satisfaction and we'll get you started on changing your grease.

I have a troy bilt mower with a briggs & stratton engine. How do I change the oil?

There should be a drain plug on the underside of the mower deck. Raise that side of deck, remove the plug and drain the oil. Replace the plug and add new oil. Hope this helped.

How to change the oil. Without turning the machine upside down how can you changew thew oil? There is no plug that I can see.

I don't know what brand/model you have, but mine has a Tecumseh engine, and you empty the oil by removing the oil filler tube and tipping the engine to the side (per owner's manual). There is no plug.
