When to replace oil filter on a mower?
Essential Guide to Maintaining Your Mower's Oil Filter
Follow Manufacturer Recommendations
- Owner’s Manual: Refer to your manual for oil filter replacement intervals. Most recommend replacing it with every oil change, typically every 50 to 100 hours.
After Major Use
- Heavy Usage: If you use your mower extensively, consider replacing the filter more frequently. Mowing tall grass or operating in dusty conditions can cause it to clog faster.
Signs of Contamination
- Dirty Oil: If the oil appears dark and dirty, it may be time to replace both the oil and the filter.
Engine Performance Issues
- Reduced Performance: If your mower experiences reduced power or increased noise, a clogged filter might be the culprit. Replacing it can help restore performance.
Regular Maintenance Schedule
- Routine Checks: Include oil filter inspections in your maintenance routine. Replace the filter if it appears damaged or worn.
