well, i read the Ariens and the Tecumseh manuals, but could not find one that identified the location of the engine oil drain plug. does anyone have any pictures?
also, what is the preferred oil? is the engine broken in sufficiently at 2 hours to start using synthetic oil? the oil chart shows 5w30 to -16C; would a 0w30 work just as well? i know in my mower i shouldn't use 0w30 or 5w30, but instead 10w30.
is there a source for the stens grease other than the dealer? online? what about shear bolts?
thanks!
