Briggs & Stratton Vanguard Engines

with Remote Oil Tank (Select Models)

Some models in this series of mower feature a remote oil tank

(A, Figure 24) that supplies oil to the engine. Units equipped

with a Vanguard engine with remote oil tank are factory filled

with specially formulated Vanguard 15W-50 synthetic oil.

Note: 

This specific grade of oil is not required to keep engine

warranty in effect.
For more information regarding this engine and other

operational and maintenance information, please refer to the

engine operator's manual included with your unit.

Changing the Engine Oil and Filter

(Engines with Remote Oil Tank)

Engine Oil Type:

 15W-50 synthetic oil. (See the engine

operator's manual for other oil recommendations.)

Engine Oil Change Amount:

 5 qt (4,73 L).

Oil Change Interval:

 Every 500 hours.

Important: 

Always make sure that the mower is parked on a

flat, level surface when checking the engine oil level.
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface. Engage the

parking brake and disengage the PTO. Allow the engine

to run until it is warm. This will warm the oil so it will

drain better. Turn the ignition switch to OFF, remove the

ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before

leaving the operator's position.

2. Clean the area around the engine oil dipstick (A, Figure

25) and oil fill cover (B) to remove any debris.

25

3. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe with a clean

cloth.

4. Cut the self-locking tie (C) that keeps the oil fill cover

securely closed. Open the oil fill cover.

5. Have a suitable container ready to capture dripping oil

from the engine oil filter (D) after it is removed. Remove

the oil filter by turning it 

counter-clockwise

 a 1/4 turn (E)

and then pulling up. Dispose of the used oil filter properly.

6. This mower is equipped with an oil drain valve (A, Figure

26) that is used to drain the oil from the remote oil tank.

The drain is located at the end of the oil drain hose (B)

which is connected to the bottom of the remote oil tank

(C). There is a clamp on the left hand side of the control

tower where the oil drain hose is stored when not in use.
