I purchased my lawn mower (6.5 hp B&S engine) new in September. I
only needed to use a few short times to mow the front yard before
the first freeze came. Since the engine has hardly been used
much I was contemplating skipping the first seasonal oil change
this fall. Will this be ok for the engine? I like to keep the
oil clean but it seem silly to change it so soon.

I will run the gas tank dry as soon as I can get a decent day to
do it here.

Thanks!


Ok, Think real hard now Einstein.
Why Oh Why would you contemplate saving $2 for a quart of oil over the
risk of damaging your new lawnmower?
Sorry but your post just makes no sense at all.

Hi,
I have John Deere mower with B&S engine. I just replace oil once a
year,when winter comes store it away. Been 10 years doing this. it
starts OK in the spring with couple pulls, still runs like new.
Same with my Toro 2 cycle snow blower, chain saw, weed eater too. never
had serious problem or damage.
