More oil will come out if you tilt it for a second/ third time, it seems to catch somewhere. Good video though.

Ty! This might explain why adding even 10.5 oz of oil as Paul suggested was way over-filled. Initially, every time I added 12.5 oz according to Honda, it was WAY overfilled!

Boy that is much easier than what I do. I would put the mower up on a set of axle stands and then use the drain plug underneath. Will have to try this way next time. Thanks Paul.

I had to get the HRN216 primarily because of the high torque. The dual blades for mulching is a nice upgrade too. My 5,000 sq. ft. front lawn is Zoysia, and my back 10,000 sq. ft. is a mix or cool season grass, but mostly weeds (will be Zoysia soon). This thing is a beast. I just changed my oil for the 2nd time (5 hour, then

Paul, 5 hours for oil change is just on the first oil change on a new mower. After that it is every 50 hours according to the Manuel you referred to.
@PaulPomerleau

You are correct. But since it is so easy to do and takes very little oil, I am going to do it before storing it away for the winter no matter how many hours are on it. It just makes me feel better. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the comment. I was thinking every 5 hours for an oil change seemed excessive, but Paul's point is good too. It's quick and easy to do, so I might just do it at the end of every season too.

I bought one this Spring...have done every thing the manual requires. But, I'm very unhappy with the cut; it is cuts unevenly. Also, cut in one direction then come back and cut the other - and one side appears higher. Lastly, it leaves terrible wheel ruts, even with cutting a different direction each mow.
