Change the Oil

How do I change the oil on the Mountfield SP470 ? Thanks.

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    On most mowers there is a plug (approx. 10mm) under the deck of the mower that must be removed to drain the oil. However I am not familiar with Mountfield. (I'm in US.)



    You may be able to contact Mountfield directly to see if you can obtain a manual for the mower. Here is the site with a phone # and an email form:

The easiest way would be to purchase a manually pump up oil change device that draws a vacuum and you put the tube from that device in the oil fill hole and draw it out to its own container

Hi I’ve just got a mountfield sp470 and fuelled it up but just found out the can of petrol I used was mixed with 2 stroke oil it seemed to run fine on the last run out.... will I need to drain the tank or...

I poured 5 gallons of mixed gas in my Buick car so I asked my mechanic what I should do. His advice to me was to fill the car's gas tank right up so the mixture is not very heavy He said you may see some smoke more than usual but that will not hurt.

How do you change the oil in a mountfield LS45 Lawnmower???

While I am not familiar with this brand, typically, in a four cycle lawn mower engine, there will be a oil drain plug in the bottom of the engine or on the lower part of the engine above the deck.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

Service manual

No such thing exists - but you can get an Operator's Manual for the engine if it's a Briggs & Stratton, direct fron the Briggs web site.
