I have seen many ways to change the oil on a Honda Lawnmower. The best and easiest way is to use a empty gallon milk container. I am not crazy! Take out the oil stick and the opening of the container will actually fit snug around the fill tube opening. Turn the engine over on its side and it will fill up without any spilling. Now when you lift it back up the weight of the oil will flop the container and you can safely take it off. Now you can take it to the recycling center. If I ever learn how to do a You Tube I will post it. Anyway try it! Please tell me if you like this! Quote #1 1 Reply Related Threads

I always use my oil drain pan that I use to change the oil in my truck. Any container that is at or lower than your mower deck height will suffice to catch oil. Run the mower for 2 min to heat up the oil and then just remove the dipstick and tip the mower on it's side. Pretty clean way to do it as I never spill. I will have to consider the milk carton idea.
