What kind of oil do is needede for a craftsman platinum 7.25 lawnmower?

The Craftsman Platinum 7.25 lawn mower requires SAE 30 weight oil. This oil is designed for use in small engines, such as those used in lawn mowers. It is important to use the correct oil weight to ensure that the engine is properly lubricated. Using too light of oil can cause the engine to run hot and eventually seize up. Using too heavy of oil can cause the engine to run sluggish and can make it difficult to start.

Here are the steps on how to change the oil in your Craftsman Platinum 7.25 lawn mower:

*1. Park the lawn mower on a level surface.

*2. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down completely.

*3. Locate the oil drain plug on the bottom of the engine.

*4. Place an oil pan under the drain plug.

*5. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and allow the oil to drain into the pan.

*6. Once the oil has drained completely, replace the drain plug.

*7. Locate the oil fill cap on the top of the engine.

*8. Remove the oil fill cap and add new SAE 30 weight oil to the engine.

*9. Use the dipstick to check the oil level. The oil level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.

*10. Replace the oil fill cap.

It is important to change the oil in your Craftsman Platinum 7.25 lawn mower regularly to ensure that the engine is properly lubricated and to extend its life. Refer to the lawn mower's owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval.
