Morning here!

I have a small pressure washer and used it yesterday for awhile....Got to thinking back when I bought--time to change engine oil now.
Ok--Let it cool off--wiped it down w/ damp rag and all--turned it inside out/over and under--no D&^*%N dtrain-plug!! The only oil hole I see is the 45% up one wher you add oil.

WTH?? BTW--it's a model GCV160 OV engine-

Thanks for any info, and I think I know the answer already.......

I bought a tool that will suck the oil out if no drain plug

Home Depot sells a tool that sucks the oil out.

Most of your small engines made now lack a drain plug. They actually recommend draining it out the fill tube. I do like the earlier posts, use a siphon to suck out the old oil.

Thanks-Folks.

..I already have a suction type gun/barrel that still works...I'll see what happens this weekend-

I have a GCV190 on a pressure washer. I plan on taking the engine off and just dumping the oil out the drain plug. Its a real pain, but I guess they dont expect anyone to actually change the oil in them. As others have stated, anybody on this forum probably has better maintenance habits then the average consumer.

Use it till it blows up then buy another!!!

That's not going to happen if I can help it--a little maintenance and time goes a long way--and I am serious believer in PM...

.....beside --I worked for a company that had a large landfill--and it just made me really upset/mad when I saw the stuff that got discarded....Either because people don't care/ or don't know/ or don't have any sense of value......
