never need to change oil

[Boobala]

Main reason is that the latest generation are dip-schitts, that have no idea what an OIL dip-stick is !! ..:thumbsup:

Is a dipstick the same as a wing nut because I get called both a lot... figured they were synonymous.

this engine caters to the 20% of the population that don't change their oil in their mower from the day they purchase it. And the design theory is supposed to have an operating period of 125 hours which for the average push mower is 10 years.

12.5 hours a year would be less that 1/2 hour for 26 weekly mows .
That would just cover a 1/4 block with a 50 sq house, remote garage, remote swimming pool with BBQ pergola

Research by mower manufacturers have shown that the average homeowner push mower is run 13 hours a year and gets replaced every 3.5 years. The average riding mower is run 38 hours per year and is replaced every 4.5 years. If you add in the guys that run 200 hours a year on their riders, that would mean some don't get run very often.

It's a shame manufacturers have taken those statistics and down graded their engineering to meet them, all in the name of saving a buck, no pride involved.

Pride & Quality left when OSHA & the EPA got together and decided what is best for the rest of us !! .. :smiley_aafz:

I respectfully disagree,,,quality left when the CEO is now a finance guy, not an engineer.

I'm fairly certain the CEO of Volkswagen and Audi are still engineers.

Interesting

Down here it is 30hrs/year for a push mower and 50 for a ride on
Then again we really only have a 6 week winter and less than 5% of the population line where it snows so our mowing "season" would be a bit longer than a good part of the USA
And it would be a lot higher except the figure is a rolling 10 year average and includes drought years like this one where people would be lucky to have done 5 hours so far this year.
