When was the last time I changed the oil in my mower? (lemmy.world)

Now that I think about it, it was probably before the pandemic. 🤔

I only changed it once with the extra can I bought with the mower but never since. I'd imagine it easily costing somewhere around 20 to 30 euros a year so that'll pretty much cover a new mower every 10 years.

Lawnmowers only take about 16oz of oil and you can buy 5qts(160oz) for $23 here in the states. So that $23 would last 10 years of oil changes if you replace it once per season like I did.

Not sure what that would cost you in Europe. So maybe that's where the disconnect is.

You're supposed to replace the filter at the same time.

Most walk behind style mowers don't have oil filters.
