The real issue I have is the 6.5 B&S engine which has no oil drain. Manual says "tip splitter" over to drain engine oil from fill cap. That ain't gonna happen ,I tried alone ,way too heavy. I tried hand syphons to no avail.

Cant tell which splitter you have but I have the Huskee 22 ton with the 6.5 B&S engine. The oil drain plug was real hard to locate but it does exist. I searched on this forum which led me to finding the plug.... which is located on the bottom side of the engine and you have to get at it from under the splitter frame. PITA but it is there.
What splitter do you have.adrpga498 said:I changed my hydro fluid filter at the 1st 50 hours of use as per the manual. Now I'm close to 80 hours use and oil looks very clean.
