Hi kdursus
Those instructions were added over a decade ago at the request of the mower manufactures Toro was one of them. It was because many walk-behind mowers have some sort of drive belt or mulching baffles that interfere with draining oil from the bottom. To be honest many folks have a hard time finding and removing that bottom drain plug on a grass clogged deck.
