Question About MTD Lawn Mower 638RL
draining oil...

The oil plug is positioned to the left of the hole it should drain through into disposal container when changing oil. How am I supposed to drain the oil without getting oil on other parts of the mower?

0 I just bought the same model. I received an extra with my mower, a "U" shaped piece of metal about four inches long. It is designed to fit under the oil drain plug on the left side of the engine and drain the oil (into a can or jar) awayfrom the engine.

0 I received a plastic extension for draining the oil, but couldn't get it to fit under the drain plug. Finally figured out that I have to turn the wheels far to the right which then allows enough space to slide the extension flush against the drain plug. Dumb me, I guess, for a while.
