How do you change the oil on a snowblower?

Answer 1

Look for a drain plug near the bottome of the engine crack case. It is usually on the back or side of the snowblower and typically there is an also an extension tube (to make draining easier so it doesn't spill all over the frame) on there with a removable cap. 1. Remove the cap on the extension tube (or drain plug itself if there's no extension tube) and drain the old oil. 2. Put drain plug/cap back on and refill the engine with motor oil through the oil dipstick hole. (typically will need less than a litre) Also, typcial weight is 10w-30 or 5w-30 for really cold places. 3. Put oil dipstick back in, and fireup the machine and check for any leaks.
