Draining the oil from a push mower is necessary maintenance that helps keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently. By removing old, dirty oil and replacing it with clean, fresh oil, you can reduce friction within the engine, prevent premature wear and tear, and extend the life of your mower. Knowing how to drain oil from a push mower is a simple but important task that any homeowner can do.
The importance of draining the oil in your push mower cannot be overstated. The oil in your mower’s engine is responsible for lubricating the moving parts of the engine, preventing them from grinding against each other and causing damage. Over time, the oil will break down and become contaminated with metal shavings, dirt, and other debris. This contaminated oil can no longer effectively lubricate the engine, leading to increased friction, wear and tear, and eventually, engine failure.
