    Or a lawnmower. Personally, I change my push mower’s oil every 3,000 miles /s

    Edit: I did the math for this, actually. For one acre of land, assuming you had a 4ft wide push mower, it would take about 2.05 miles of walking per acre of land, for complete coverage, with no overlap. I prefer to do a 25% overlap though, so let’s increase that to 3 miles per acre at most.

    This means you would need to do 1,000 acres of push mowing before changing the oil in a push mower at this rate. This is about 757 American football fields, 1.56 square miles, or about yay big: https://i.postimg.cc/qRrfdqdn/IMG-1199.jpg

      Good to know!

      The mowers I’ve had have use that fucked up and horrifying system where you’re supposed to mix the gasoline with motor oil.

        So two stroke engines? Yeah, those have a bit of maintenance for sure
