1. Park your car on a level surface. This will ensure you're able to get out as much of the old oil as possible.
2. Let the engine cool down. Draining oil immediately after driving can result in burns as the oil will be hot. Wait for at least a few hours if you have recently used your car.
3. Open the hood and locate the oil cap on top of the engine and remove it. This helps the oil drain out more quickly.
4. Jack up your car if required. If your vehicle is low to the ground, you will need to jack it up and set it on jack stands (do not rely solely on a car jack).
5. Put on protective gloves and eyewear.
6. Position a container or pan under the oil drain plug. This plug is located at the bottom of the engine's oil pan and is accessible from underneath the car.
7. Use a wrench to turn the oil drain plug counterclockwise until it’s loose. Be careful as oil may begin to seep out as you’re loosening the plug.
8. Remove the plug fully. The engine oil should start to drain out into your pan.
9. Remove and replace the oil filter. This is usually located on the side of the engine and can be turned counter-clockwise to remove. New filters can be screwed on by hand.
10. Once the oil has fully drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it with your wrench.
11. Use a funnel to pour the new, clean oil into the oil filler hole at the top of the engine.
12. Once you've added the prescribed amount of oil, replace the oil filler cap.
13. Run the engine for a few minutes to make sure there are no leaks.
14. Dispose of the old oil properly. Most local recycling centers or auto parts stores can dispose of motor oil.
Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for specific instructions about how to change the engine's oil. Never dump oil onto the ground, into a sewer or in the trash.
To start a cold engine, especially in cold weather conditions, follow a cautious approach to prevent wear or damage. Firstly, ensure your battery is in good condition, as cold temperatures can reduce its efficiency. Use thinner, winter-grade oil to improve lubrication since oil thickens in cold weather, making the engine harder to turn over. Prior to ignition, let the fuel pump prime for a few seconds; for diesel engines, wait for the glow plugs to warm up as indicated by the dashboard light. Turn the key to start the engine without pressing the accelerator, allowing it to idle for about 30 seconds to a minute. This helps the oil circulate properly, lubricating the engine components. Avoid revving the engine immediately; instead, allow it to warm up gradually. In extremely cold temperatures, consider using a block heater overnight to pre-warm the engine, making it easier to start in the morning. Regular maintenance checks are pivotal, particularly for the battery, fluids, and spark plugs, to ensure optimal performance during cold starts.
To bypass the governor on a Brigs Stratton engine. you must adjust or remove the mechanical linkage or arm that controls the engine's speed. This can result in the engine running above its designated limit and may seem beneficial for increasing power. However. it is crucial to consider the potential risks involved. Removing the governor can accelerate wear and tear. cause parts to malfunction at high speeds. and potentially lead to engine failure or damage. Additionally. removing the governor may void your engine warranty. If you choose to move forward with this process. it typically involves disconnecting the governor arm from the throttle linkage or removing the governor gear located within the engine case - both complex tasks that require removing engine components. Alternatively. safer options include tuning the engine to improve performance while staying within safe limits or upgrading to a higher performing model that meets your needs. Remember. safety and maintaining engine health should always be a top priority as replacing engine components could have unintended consequences beyond immediate benefits.
