On the bottle, the numbers 100 to 600 is c c, and the numbers 1 to 20 is oz. I think the best way to drain the oil, is from underneath. you need to keep the under neath side of the mower, clean. once in a while, which is a year, you need to oil around where the blade is on.

Roger, Thanks for the excellent info. When you say "keep the underneath greased up", what do you mean? I just located the oil capacity. It says 20 oz. or 0.6 litters. I stated incorrectly the size of the bottle, it is a pt. not a quart. Sorry about that. The bottle has numbers on the side with the little window line. One side goes from 100 to 600 and the other side goes from 1 to 20. I haven't a clue what this means. I have a funnel to use. The mower has a dip stick. I has some visible moisture at the end. Now, where is says "fill line", it is above what looks like a criss cross pattern. Do I fill to the top of the crisscross pattern or the bottom of it. My dip stick is grayish black so it is going to be tricky. My book says I can drain it from the side by tipping it over or from the bottom by removing a drain plug with a ratchet. Which is easier and less messy? Again, thank you so much for helping me with this. I really appreciate it.
