debris fell into crankcase- how to remedy?
I changed the starter rope on my Toro today, but I accidently removed the
oil dipstick along with the motor shroud when I was accessing the starter and debris fell into the exposed oil crankcase. Before I use the mower again, I need to remedy this situation. I know I'll have to change the oil, but should I do anything else before adding new oil? thank you |

If it's just some grass, dust, etc. then I'd change the oil, refill it, run it for a few minutes, then change the oil again. |
If the Debris is metal or metallic , it could be a idea to lower a magnetic screwdriver down the dipstick hole , or.. if you can get them for mowers and im not sure , a magnetic sump plug is very good , will remove even smallest debris once engine is running again then just clean it at your next oil change.
