authorized Cub Cadet dealer.
While guiding the transmission release
rod through keyhole and the oil fill
tube/dipstick into the transmission,

Changing the Engine Oil and Filter
Warning! If the engine has
been recently run, the en-
gine, muffler and surround-
ing metal surfaces will be
hot and can cause burns to
the skin. Exercise caution
to avoid burns.
The oil filter should be changed at
every oil change interval. The filters
can be obtained through your Cub
Cadet dealer. Refer the engine opera-
tor’s manual, or the condensed engine
information in the next section of this
manual, for information regarding the
frequency of required oil changes and
the quantity of oil needed. To drain the
engine oil, proceed as follows:
• Run the engine for a short time to
warm the engine oil. The oil will flow
more freely and carry away more
impurities Use care to avoid burns
from hot oil.
• Locate the oil drain port and filter on
the left side of the engine.
• Pop open the protective cap on the
end of the oil drain valve to expose
the drain port. See Figure 24.
Remove the dipstick from its tube.
Figure 24
• Push the oil drain hose (packed with
this manual) onto the oil drain port.
Route the opposite end of the hose
into an appropriate oil collection
container with at least a 2.5 quart
capacity, to collect the used oil.
