Hustler Raptor 42" Zero Turn Kawasaki 21.5hp Oil Change
Its time to change the oil in my Hustler Raptor 42" Zero Turn Mower with Kawasaki 21.5hp motor. This machine needs 2 quarts of SAE 10w-40 oil and a Kawasaki 49065-7007 filter. It is recommended that you change the oil at 50 hours. Because I do not run mine that much in a season I change once a year before the cutting season. This oil change is straight forward. First unscrew the dipstick. Use a 1/2" tube to connect to the drain plug. Use a size 10 socket to loosen the oil plug. Let the oil drain into a pan. Unscrew the filter and replace with new one. Fill the oil through the fill plug with a funnel. Use the dipstick by setting it on the threads but not tightening it down. Make sure that the oil is at the fill line.

all u dummies that male 30 min videos to do a 5 min job, take notes from this dude...right to the point, gives all the info, job well done
Ha yes I watched several of those 30min videos and tried to get this cut down. When I watch KZhead to do an oil change I want it short!
I came here to say thank you for making this video short and sweet.
Thank you for watching. I know what you mean when I was searching for the solution. The videos were 20 plus minutes. I figured it was time for me to make a to the point short one.
Those Kawasaki engines are pretty nice. Space is tight around that filter, but one tip is to cut off the bottom of a 2L soda bottle and put the bottle over the filter. Can pinch the bottle to turn the filter and the bottle will catch the oil coming out as you remove the filter.
Woo that is a great idea! Thank you. I have enjoyed this mower. It really cuts well.
Thanks for listing the filter part numbers. It's really helpful.
Cool to see you do a maintenance video, excellent. My push mower is planned as my next one. If you have ever forgotten to coat some oil on the filter's gasket before installing, you know when you try to remove it next time and it's melted to the gasket seat and won't release. For the drips I just stick some newspaper under fuel/oil/lines/filters to catch the spills.
Great tips, thanks Seth. I need to do this shortly on a RedMax but it also has a Kawasaki engine so perfect. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this, you made it look nice and easy! Heading off to do mine now :)
Excellent work!
great vid! no wasted time....nice & helpful. ty
It helps to run the engine for a few minutes to heat up the oil. It drains faster that way.
Yes sadly my battery was low from winter. I had to charge it (next lawnmower video) it would not start.
Where did you get the clear tubing at😊
Great video!!! I have the same mower. Do you happen to know what size socket fits the oil drain nut?
Nice and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! This mower has been really nice.
Can you make a video and how to change the oil drain plug itself
Do you have a video on filling the fluid in the trans?
What engineer who graduated last in his/her class designed such a mess? When I change my Toyota oil filter, don't spill a single drop because of the quite-nice design. Is there a way to prevent oil from the Oil Filter from spilling like that on the Raptor?
If you cut a plastic oil container in half and put under the oil filter it will catch that oil.
A small aluminum foil pan also works well.
A friend just gave me one of these for free, just needs a new battery and tune up as it's been sitting in his shed for a few years since he retired his landscaping business
That is a nice gift!
What size tube did you use to run from the drain to the catch pan?
He used a 1/2" tube. He has some other good notes in the description.
You change air in your tires
Where did you get the oil.hose from? What size?
It's either 1/2" or 3/4". I got a small piece from lowes. Sadly I don't remember the exact size. I'm leaning more to the 3/4".
