Now that I think about it, it was probably before the pandemic. 🤔

    For the money you save by not doing the oil change you can probably afford a new mower every 10 years or so.

      How often were you changing the oil in your mower? I own an electric lawnmower now, but before that I just changed the oil once at the beginning of each mowing season.

        I only changed it once with the extra can I bought with the mower but never since. I’d imagine it easily costing somewhere around 20 to 30 euros a year so that’ll pretty much cover a new mower every 10 years.

          Lawnmowers only take about 16oz of oil and you can buy 5qts(160oz) for $23 here in the states. So that $23 would last 10 years of oil changes if you replace it once per season like I did.

          Not sure what that would cost you in Europe. So maybe that’s where the disconnect is.
