If you buy an electric mower, you never have to change the oil again. Or the spark plug. Or buy gas. Or clean the carburetor.

The mower I got from my grandpa has never had an oil change and it still works as of last week. Your mower will almost certainly be fine.

Now my pressure washer… I forgot to empty the gas from my pressure washer before storing it for several years and it became mucky glorp inside.

I got an ev mower. Solved.

CmdrShepard42 ,

I also solved mine but by never changing the oil.

Hux ,

I’ve had my current mower about 14-years.

I don’t think I’ve ever changed the oil.

mvirts ,

Oof glad I don’t have to do that anymore. My car on the other hand… 😐 It’s probably due

A true shower thought

Mr_Blott ,

If it’s a Honda, it’s fiiiiiine

Probably due an oil change about 2029

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

I just did my first oil change in 4 years and it’s still running strong.

Aremel ,

I thought two-stroke engines mix the oil and fuel together? Every time you refuel, you should also be topping up the oil. Am I wrong?

Rivalarrival ,

Never seen a two-stroke mower…

Whirling_Cloudburst ,

I knew some folks with a repair shop as a kid and got to use one of these.

I'm not sure you can even buy a two stroke lawnmower. Snowblower, maybe.

Yes, you need to have oil mixed with the gasoline in a two stroke, because the area under the piston (where the crankshaft is) creates the vacuum on the upstroke to draw in the next fuel charge. Lubrication of the crankshaft bearings, then, must come from oil that is in the gasoline, either by premixing it, or from an oil injection system.

A four stroke, on the other hand, uses the top of the cylinder, above the piston, to draw in the next fuel charge through an intake valve, and the area underneath the piston is bathed with oil. Over time, that oil (including its additives) breaks down and loses its lubricity, and must be changed for fresh oil.

I haven’t pushed it anywhere near 10,000 km, so I should be good, right?

Right?

Mine burns a little oil, so I just keep adding it. That way it gets a perpetual oil change. guytappinghead.jpg

I’ve owned a car like that. Drove that thing for years until the driver’s side door fell off and I parked it.

Arbiter ,

You parked the door?

krakenfury ,

I’ve changed the air filter on mine and I think that’s all the maintenance I will ever do

Bytemeister ,

Sharpen/replace the blade. It’s cheap and easy to do, and it will cut like a brand new mower.

Also, this is a PSA that you should sharpen your shovel. Makes digging way easier.
