Husquvarna Riding Mower Oil, Filter, and Spark Plug Change 

There is some confusion about the motor flush. I don't use motor flush! It's an EMPTY bottle that's tall enough to make a good catch bottle. The oil used is Pro-Select 10W30. Also, lube the oil filter gasket. I forgot to do that.

I spent several hours today trying to find the spark plug. So many Google searches, so many manuals read. I don't know why this search variant worked, but it led me here. It didn't cross my mind that the hood had to be removed or that it could be done so easily. THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much for the video....very helpful. Lost my manual and was lost. You know how women are no male to help so I'm a do it yourself. Been searching and so happy to find such detailed help. Bless you there are women out here trying to do such things for themselves and appreciate help. Again thanks so much.

Very well explained video. I have a Husqvarna lgt2554 that I bought new 11 year's ago. I keep it well maintained and have not had any trouble. I recently replaced the belt for the first time, and it was more of a precautionary move. I've never had a flat tire. I service it every year and sharpen the three blade's. thanks, John

When u prime the oil filter also lubricate the oil filter gasket with oil. Makes a better seal.

Overall, I enjoyed watching your tutorial on a husqvarna maintenance tune up. Learned alot.

Thanks for the video. I have the exact same mower and I have been scratching my head trying to find the spark plug.

Just a note... great video except for one small point. As an aircraft mechanic... never - never ever tighten a bolt or nut in an aluminum block while the block is hot... it is the number one cause of stripped threads in the block. great video...!

Thank you for this informative post. Had no clue where spark plug was, worked perfectly and no more smoke

Very well made and informative video. I'm used to working on my Scotts (John Deere) but I have to go out and work on my Mom's Husqvarna. It's great to see exactly what I have in store for me. I've got all my tools and parts together (except the oil drain tube) and I can make Mom happy. Thank you!

Thanks for the 48oz measurement. I need to change my oil and could not remember the correct amount of oil so as not to overfill it when first adding new oil back. Just FYI: Husqvarna manuals have been known to say straight 30 weight oil but that's not for a Kohler engine. The Kohler manual says to use 10w-30 weight oil for the 20 horse Courage engine and synthetic works particularly well with these engines since they have hydraulic lifters. The Courage line from Kohler does have a bad history as a "junk" engine but with proper maintenance mine has over 240 hard hours and still running great.

Great and in formative video!! I just got a new Husqvarna LT17538 and this will be perfect for when I do my first tune up.

Check the leakdown to check rings, valves, and head gaskets. Adjust the valves. Replace the valve springs. They get weak.

Thanks for the video. I have the exact same mower. I didn't realize the hood came off that easily. I got the mower slightly used and have not worked on it any yet. It won't start so I am changing the plug, oil, gas, and fuel filter. I hope that fixes it.

I have used 1/2 Quart of transmission fluid in place of Motor Flush in some older engines without any problems.

I have a Snapper ST24/46 and so far I’ve found 2 Husky decals on it. No wonder yours looks like mine.🤔

4 5/16 bolts hold the top cover on, easy on and off,you can see the spark plug easy out. taking the hood off is just to much work. any auto parts store you can get a new hose and parts

Thanks for this! The owner's manual is basically useless for the spark plug change...

Do you have a red wire, or tube, to the bottom right of that section? Looks like it. I do, and it appears to be leaking fuel. What is it?

I read that Motor Flush is not a good thing to use in a modern engine plus you did not put new oil on the oil filter gasket before installation.

Thanks dude, going to do all this tomorrow with much more confidence!

How hard is it to change the muffler. I saw a John deer with a muffler the size of a mini keg and it was so quiet

Really needed this. Awesome how to video. Thank you for taking the time to post.

Great video! Can you let us know 1) where you get your filters? and 2) what oil you use? Thanks!

Excellent video very helpful

How come you didn't grease the oil filter rubber ring?

great video, you did great job with details and information. explained very well. the only thing I didn't see you do was wet filter gasket with oil before installing new one, that is something I was always told to do. what's your thoughts on it. thanks Rick

Why no anti seize on the spark plug??? Also....IF you put a little clean oil on your oil filter gasket they tighten much easier and you do NOT tear the rubber gasket !!! Just a FYI !!!!

I needed this video! You are awesome! Thank you!

Wouldn't it be nice if they put all drains on the same side as the oil filter!!?! I will check to see if I can re-locate mine. I'm sure I can as they have about 5 areas you can drain oil from LOL....

You would think the maker of the tractor would put the spark plugs in a spot that is easy to change especially if it is a part that is replaced more often.

thank. I couldn't find the spark plug

Yeah I thought I did something wrong on my first oil change nothing came out. I ran it for maybe 2 min and it came out fine

Any prob with it im shoppin for a nrw mower not sure what to get

Fantastic vid thanks a lot..

YeSir.u.The.Man...Big thumbs up...

All that and still didn't change the fuel filter.....

Any one please tell me why fuel gas get into my oil tank

Drain the fukin oil and put on a new filter. Fill to specs, start and check level. PLEASE!!.

"Plug wear" They're 5 bucks.

THAT'S NOT A GOOD DESIGN ENGINE AS FAR AS SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT, YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING THAT CRAP!!! :-(
