Toro Lawnmower Oil Change - DIY Video

Toro Lawnmower Oil Change - DIY Video
In this video I show you how to replace the oil in a newer and an older TORO lawnmower.
The oil should be replaced once per summer for the homeowner and 1-3 times for commercial use.
Most lawnmowers will require 10w30 or SAE30 engine oil.

Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.

I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.

Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.

My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.

I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on Youtube and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

God forbid manufacturers design a mower than can have its oil changed easily without taking half the thing apart or spilling the oil over everything!

[shawnkiesel]

That's the cleanest oil I've ever seen come out of mower...

[jeffw]

Always enjoy your videos. Instructive without the need for use of foul language! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video. I still own my Toro Engine Reel mower. Though it has a production date of 1969 it still runs great.

[trishthebodeau]

First timer watched the video and I successfully did the oil change

[afloresy]

Thank you for sharing. That was, by far, one of the best "how to" videos I've seen. I might actually be successful in changing the oil on my mower.

[Myannual]

A great no nonsense video that covers the topic extremely well! Thanks

[garyford]

I always tip the mower back and place a weight on the handle bar to keep it up in the air. Gives easy access to the underside.

Thanks for the instructions on draining the oil. I think that I'll stop by our local home improvement store to see if they have an inexpensive oil evacuator.

[MrEddieGwatz]

According to the Toro site it illustrates just tipping mower to the side and draining oil from the fill cap, (same place to add oil) I have the second mower model in this video. The service manual doesn’t mention removing the drain plug. However I did try tipping mine to side like service manual said and it did fairly well job but I still removed drain plug very little came out. FYI: if you have the second mower in video like I do it only takes 18 ounces oil and they do sell bottles with that capacity.

Excellent, to the point and clear, VERY helpful!

[mariabrenny]

So succinct and to the point. I especially like that the close-ups are in focus!!!

[Gears.and.Gadgets]

Those mighty vac evacuators are nice. Had mine for a few years.

[barrytanenbaum]

Nice video! We do learn from these videos, no matter how much we already know. Thanks! Barry in Pa.

[GP]

Thanks Don ! Every time I watch one of your videos, I always learn something !

[JohnAlbinus]

Boom! Changed the oil on my Toro - it's running excellent now! Thanks a ton!!

[salinsarin]

very nice and thank you for explaining both hte methods as i dont have the vacuum machine.. the tilt option is perfect and suits a typical homeowner..
please do make other videos of full service of a lawn mower when you have to store after the summer usage. also things required to do before the next season use following the winter storage.

[norcoauctions]

[Whammytap]
