I have read the manual cover to cover and I can't find the best time to check oil level.
Should I :
Check it prior to starting
Check it with engine running
Check it after mower cools down after use... 1/2 hour or so after shutdown.
I want to run SAE 30 oil in it...should I wait til after initial break in period and 1st oil change?
Please help me start off on the right foot as my new honda HRR216vya only has 2 hours on it.
With other mowers:
I always changed my oil at the start of the season. I always used SAE 30 oil without a problem.
Checked oil after cool down.
Topped off if required.
Replaced air filter/sparkplug every year with the oil change.
I am hoping to keep the same habits if they will work.
I usually run the Mower 1-2 hours a week.
The smart drive is also getting easier to get used to.....
Thanks for your help!
