My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

My Dad always told me, “Oil is cheap, but engines are expensive.” Enough said.

[ronaldperkins]

My farm boy mentality told me to change the oil in mine, so I did. So many of these "improvements" are wolves in sheep's clothing. Great video! 👍

[RareGenXer]

I have one of those "no oil change" BS engines on my lawnmower. After two years I decided to ignore the manufacture "experts" and change the oil. It was like liquid graphite pouring out. Dark gray with a fine metallic sheen. Engine seems much happier now with a fresh oil change!

[kevinorr]

Same with making fuel filters nearly inaccessible. Tools should be made to be repaired. The throw away business is a crime (of sorts).

Great advice. I've mowed my half-acre of so-called lawn with the same $100 mower for 38 years. It has a flathead Tecumseh and the same sponge filter that came with it. I change the oil and wash the filter at least once a year. Finally last year I had to replace the rings due to oil usage but now it's fine and I plan to take it to the grave.

In July, 1980, bought a new 22" Wards push mower with a flat-head Briggs. Oil changes every year, clean the air filter twice a year, still runs perfectly 43 years Still has the original spark plug and points. Have replaced the blade a few times, and one set of wheels.

I work at Lowe’s in Texas. A customer came in today wanting a fuel shut-off valve. I said, “ are you watching Chickanic?” We both laughed and enjoy your work! Thank you for all you do.

[greybear]

who actually believed that "no oil change needed" cmon!

[markseehawer]

i'm a 39 year auto mechanic. I agree oil changes are needed I have a 27 year old briggs and Straton lawn mower that gets an oil change every spring as well as the air filter cleaned. I also sharpen the blade every couple of years. When it goes into storage in the fall It is always with an empty tank and the carb run dry. For 27 year in the spring I put in fresh gas and it starts on the first pull. Maintenance matters.

[DarkVegetaman]

The fact that the website domain is not in service for them anymore is just the icing on the cake.

[billjoyce]

Thanks for publicizing this! We may be just getting jaded, but it seems like no business, no manufacturer and almost no one can be trusted anymore when there's a profit to be made. Glad you're out there and have the disposition and courage to buck the system!

[Michael-nlsm]

Thank You for this video. I bought a new Toro last year. I changed the oil like I always do. Each spring I change the oil, spark plugs and air filter on all my lawn equipment. I didn't notice the do not change oil sticker until I was done. I thought I messed up. I searched You Tube for a video. Yours came up. I should have guessed it would. I have been watching you videos for over a year now. I guess I'll keep changing my oil each spring. Keep up the great work. I love your channel.

[tommclaughlin]

You are correct. They are in the business to sell parts, but also to sell more mowers. That oil looks like the opening scene from The Beverly Hillbillies.

[eugenecastles]

I just started my 4th mowing season with a Toro walk behind mower. I was very skeptical about the never change the oil, just add. which was on the mower. Last week I changed the oil and cleaned the air filter with my air compressor set on25psi. The filter still looks new because I clean the air filter every other mowing. I have always believed in preventative maintenance, and will continue to do the routine maintenance on all my yard equipment. I enjoy your videos, because you tell it like it is, with no hype. I appreciate all of your excellent tips.

[HoytClagwell]

Somewhere on a Briggs website I saw an asterisk statement that the no oil change needed was based on a 150 hr life for the engine. That is comparable to only about 10000 miles for a car. Low expectations is the key to the success of this approach.

[DonAsk-ksqy]

My briggs and stratton was manufactured in 2004 and I finally changed the oil last week. I love it, it's easy to work on and it's so light that it needs no propulsion.

[bertram_oredrock]

Thanks Chicky. I'm going to change the oil in my: 3 walk behind mowers, 2 riding mowers, Kubota Tractor, 2 cultivators, 2 generators, 1 stump grinder, and 1 wood chipper in the next two weeks. Thanks for giving me the incentive to get my maintenance done.

[Musicalpa]

They're not lying when they say you never have to change the oil for the life of the engine, just add oil, because eventually when the engine seizes up its the end of the life of that engine, What they aught to stress is if you want your engine to last longer, CHANGE THE OIL ANNUALLY.

[illinoiscentralrailroadfan]

I worked for a landscaping company (2010-2017) that believed what Briggs & Stratton was saying, two years later every one of the new mowers needed a new engine because you could hear the bottom end of the engine rattling that bad, every time we would start one up it was a question of is it going to throw a rod today.

[jaykanta]

When B&S moved their facilities out of Wisconsin I knew they were no longer going to be a quality product. This is just another example.
