"Snowblowers are expensive and oil is cheap" puts everything into perspective for everyone. It should anyway. Think about it. 20 minutes and maybe 5 dollars to insure that you are able to run it a little better and longer. It's worth not having to go and spend another $1000 plus or minus on a new machine. I know that there are other maintenance things that should be done but this is a very big and important one that is fairly easy and cheap to do. Keep up the great job JB.

@Buc_Stops_Here 2 года назад

Nice video. One more suggestion - read your owners manual on when to change the oil. Mine states do it after five hours when you purchase the machine (probably to get rid of any metal shavings from manufacturing imperfections) and then do it after 25 hours. If you get a lot of snow and have a long driveway (I do) you may have to change it once during the winter as well (rare, but it does happen).

@GarageGear 2 года назад

Good tip here Sam! Thanks for sharing and watching! 👍

@MidwestMoney 8 месяцев назад

Great video! I'm not good at this kind of stuff and my owner's manual pointed to a small square shaped plug on the engine for draining the oil. My engine also has the 5/8" spout like yours. Wow this was a million times easier than last time. I cut up a 2 liter Sunkist bottle, took off the left wheel, and she's flowing great with no mess. Thanks man!

@GarageGear 8 месяцев назад

Hey Midwest! Glad this video helped you out! Thanks for sharing!

@JAJohnsIP 2 года назад

Dude, you're pouring the oil with the bottle upside down. Flip it over, you'll have a smooth flow without the glugging. You can even see the little picture burned into the bottle showing which way to pour the oil

@paulmysliborski4832 2 года назад

Yup. That's the way you do it! ALWAYS change your oil in ANY yard/snow equipment at the proper intervals, or yearly. We just got over 20 inches of snow today, and it is such a great feeling to go out and KNOW that your snow blower is in TIP TOP shape and ready to kick some A$$! Listen to JB, people!

Anti seize is good idea……I had to heat up the nut/cap with a torch to get it off. It was a PITA. I finally got it off and anti seized it.

Same with my Ariens Platinum SHO 24 that I got last summer. It was time to do the "break in" oil change not long ago, and that damn thing must've been put on by an 800-pound gorilla. It was hell getting it off, I had to resort to using a short breaker bar for more leverage! Thank goodness the drain tube had flat-spots on it so I was able to use a 12mm wrench on that side.

I’m sure it’s in the comments , but I’ve got a 2018 ariens deluxe 28 sho. This is a hand me down so I’m going through it fully this spring. What synthetic oil would you use when servicing that’s not from ariens ? Ariens cost to much for less performance compared to big oil companies imo

Hey bigz these engines are designed for multiple applications. Just use the most accessible oil dipstick port. 👍appreciate the positive feedback

@chrispixx 10 месяцев назад

JB your owner's manual may tell you how many ounces of oil the engine holds. Then you just get a plastic measuring cup with ounce marks on It, this way your not guessing or possibly overfilling.

I have an Ariens 24" compact that I bought two years ago. I tried to do my first oil change, but I couldn't keep that long oil rod from moving, and the cap was really stuck on tight. I accidentally caused the rod to unthread from the base of the oil pan(I quickly screwed it back in), and some oil leaked out. Any ideas on how to get that cap off

Depends on the engine really . If you check the dispstick as you’re filling it little by little and you get the oil level between the bars ont he dipstick you’ll be good! 👍

@joe-ln9nw Год назад

do you need to drain engine oil from snowblower after season?

@GarageGear Год назад

You could change the oil at the end of the season but I would not recommend draining it out and not putting any back in. Thanks for watching

@user-mq9co4tl1w Год назад

I was told by Ariens to hold the drain pipe in place with a second wrench as you do not want that pipe being "wrenched" where it connects to the engine when you loosen and tighten the end cap nut?

If the cap on the drain tube is seized to the point where the drain tube turns as well… what’s the best solution to try to get the cap off the drain tube ?
