I have the S220 and just did an oil change. Mine has an added hose about 10” long attached to the drain plug. So much easier to be able to get a pan under for drainage

I just looked up your drain plug assembly on the S220. Wow, I'm jealous of how easy that is with the hose.

Great video. Instead of paper towels, you can use foil to form a funnel to redirect the oil,

I have a 2015 model and two times I bought a Wix filter for it. They will not seal off(thought it was just a fluke)and you will lose most of your oil before you can turn the key off. Use John Deere filters or Kawasaki only.

The manufacturer recommends an oil and filter change at least once per year regardless of hours. That's what I follow.

You could just drive back and forth around your yard if you don't mind the neighbors thinking your a loon. JK... I totally understand what it's like to want to use a new toy, but be patient. You'll have lots of hours on it before you know it.

Don't need to tighten oil filter more than hand tight and then you should be able to remove it by hand next time without any tools.

Perhaps I'll try hand tight only next oil change. I always did it with that little bit of extra tightening as that was how I learned it and it's always been fine.

I just got a brand new S240 July 13, 2021 (Yesterday) My side cover is not the same as yours. On mine the side cover 8mm bolt has to be removed completely to get the cover off also the oil drain is not visible with cover in place (No Cut Out ). Is the S240 you demo a 2021 ? I would never tighten an oil filter with a tool, Hand tight is plenty. There must be a better way of controlling the oil filter oil, maybe a small gutter. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on your S240. Mine's on the older side. Maybe 4 years old, I think, but I know they do there have been slight variations over the years. I see you got the bolt in the other comment you made. I don't do much with the tool to tighten (1/4 turn tops), I hope I made that clear in the vid. If your happy with hand tight then no problem, whatever works for you. I hope to share more next week on how I messed up my deck spindle and then fixed it, so stay tuned if you want more S240 fun.

Having sprayed the mower deck with Fluid Film and mowed a small yard last week, today the grass wiped off with a paper towel. I don't know long term but it looks promising. Fluid Film has an unpleasant odor (doesn't last long) be well ventilated when applying.

General Question: How often are you all changing the oil?
@DIYWithAaron
8 ай бұрын
According to the John Deere, you should change the oil yearly or every 100 hours of operation... whichever comes first. I personally do it yearly even though I rarely get over 40 service hours. It's easy to do and is relatively cheap insurance against engine problems.

If this is a how to, why didn’t you show the exact amount of oil you determined it needed by using the transparent window on the side of the bottle for those who are viewing your video? Just saying
