I don't know about the air filter, I suppose adding a little oil to the air filter would help collect dirt and dust. As far as changing the oil after the first 5 hours, I'd do it. The first 5 hours or so the oil gets dirty from the motor breaking in. Meaning fine particles of the moving parts of the motor are basically shaved off and end up in the oil. After that, I'd only change the oil once a year. ----- Original Message ----- From: "compgirl32" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 04, 2007 9:47 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Question about soaking the air cleaner oil foam in my new lawn mower
