minus-square@Grasslink6•3 days agoThe mower I got from my grandpa has never had an oil change and it still works as of last week. Your mower will almost certainly be fine. Now my pressure washer… I forgot to empty the gas from my pressure washer before storing it for several years and it became mucky glorp inside.
