How to Change the Oil on an MTD Snow Thrower

Troy-Bilt Storm 2410 Snow Thrower

MTD is a large manufacturer of commercial and residential yard tools including brands like Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Yard Machines and Bolens. MTD snow throwers are hard-working and help you to get the job done fast. But do not forget to maintain your tools. Changing the oil in your snow thrower is just as important as changing the oil in your vehicle.

Things You'll Need

• Various hand tools Engine oil Oil catch pan Rags

Instructions

1. Start the engine and allow it to heat up to warm the oil up. This will help it to run out of the engine block easier.

2. Turn the fuel valve off (if there is one) so fuel will not leak out of the carburetor. Open the oil fill spout and tip the snow thrower over, placing an oil catch pan under the oil fill spout. Allow the oil to flow out of the engine into the catch pan.

3. Sit the snow thrower down on the ground and fill the oil pan with new oil. Check the oil level with the provided dipstick to be sure the level is correct.

4. Close and tighten the oil cap when finished filling the oil reservoir.

Tips & Warnings

• Recycle all used oil. Use the proper oil weight for your area.

• The oil will be warm or hot when it exits the engine. Do not allow it to burn you.
