hey guys,

I want to service my Victa ride on mower. I cant for the life of me find and oil drain plug on the motor though. Am i blind or do they not have one? seems like a simple thing to include on a motor, surely any motor would have one? Reason being is i called my local Victa dealer and asked what oil i put in it, he suggested SAE 30. Which is a red coloured oil, much like ATF fluid for most cars. The oil on the dipstick in the motor is a typical bronze colour. Perhaps the last service was done with a different oil, synthetic etc? Either was this is why i was to completely drain the motor, mixing different oils cant be good.
