Many engines today either have no drain, or a drain that you cannot get to because of the way the engine is fitted, just buy a syringe to suck the oil out, there are plenty available made to do just this job.

You will need to replace or clean the air filter, and probably the spark plug. Do not operate the mower for some hours to allow the oil drain (inside the engine). Check oil level and fill it if necessary. Some oil remaining in the exhaust should be burnt next time the lawnmower operates.You will see smoke at the beginning, that will be normal (burnt oil). Hope this helps!
SOURCE: Need to know where oil
I have the same model...... it should be just underneath the unit.... it will look like a square head recessed. I used the ratchet set extension and it fit just right. I literally had to tilt the darn thing upside down to find it. Then once it was loosen a bit, I put the machine upright on the wheels again, and slip a plastic pan underneath as I finished unscrewing the oil plug, Out came the black goo.
SOURCE: unable to locate oil drain
Open the spot where you put the oil in.Now turn the mower so that is comes out the hole it went in.It can be messy so use a large bucket.
