This is probably the best video I have seen doing this and I have watched over 20.
4:35 - re-purposing that gallon jug is legend. I'm an engineer and just retired. I see videos like this, and I clearly over think everything. I'm going for therapy next week.
I just converted mine this week. Drained a large butter tub of old black oil out of it. Don't understand why anyone thought the ez change was a good idea. Good way to shorten the life of an engine. Converting it back to a regular filter and drain plug is definitely the way to go.
Very informative video. A couple of comments, the filter nipple in the MIU13767B kit looks like it has internal hex so you don’t need to use that internal pipe wrench. Also, my old Craftsman lawn tractor has briggs engine with the remote oil change hose that clips to cooling fan shroud. Works great. Part numbers are 594200 for the hose (with end cap and clip) and 796532 for the hose nipple that screws in where drain plug does. The clip never busted, or the hose, in fifteen years. This isn’t necessarily easier than your quick drain plug, but the built in hose is helpful and the cap is up high where I don’t worry about it coming loose. Thanks for posting this video. Happy Trails!!
I really like the fact that you itemized every tool needed to preform this conversion. Well done sir!
Thank you for watching and the kind comment.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I agree , You are a super organized individual . I'll bet that helps alot in performing any job you do.. I wish I could say the same thing about myself but it's more like "now what in the heck did I do with that half inch wrench "
I have a D110 w/o the quick change and after seeing this, I will not use the QC. I often thought this was at least a gimmick! I hope to have this machine for a long time and proper maintenance is always key........love your stuff!
Switch it out with the kit, keep up on the preventative maintenance as you said and the engine should last a very long time.
You got a single cylinder engine
Good looking out! I have not seen the quick change system on the single cylinder engines.
Can I put in the quick change big filter then drain(adding drain plug)? If I do how much oil do I add(including the .8 quart in the filter. I would be draining ALL the old oil out bit would have the advantage of the big filter plus added volume.
Brad, Love your videos. Why in the world would John Deere design this "quick change" oil system when as you have shown doesn't allow you to drain all the nasty engine oil. There is no quick way to change your oil and it shouldn't be quick. Probably the most important maintenance you need to perform. Not only does this system not work, the cost is ridiculous. Thank you for what you do.
Hi Ron, that is a question for the real smart person or persons or even an entire team of John Deere employed engineers that designed it, LOL!!Obviously in my opinion, John Deere is not worried about how long they will last but how much more they will make selling you more machines.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Hard to argue with that conclusion. Of course, JD would likely say, since it makes it "easier" to change, folks less inclined to change it will do so with EZ change. I don't buy that argument, or the Easy Change system. I haven't converted yet, because local dealer gave me a free at home service using the EZ change system. It was because of a delivery snafu they wanted to make right. Wasn't going to turn it down. But, I have the drain pipe, filter adaptor, filter and oil ready to go next time. I cut open the EZ Change filter he left with me. The actual filter rather small, all the engineering takes up more space. Really do need to puncture a couple holes in dome to drain the oil inside for recycling. Btw, nice job on the conversion video. 👍
JD came up with that idea so more people would change their oil but it's a bunch of crap, fiter is $55 and how many of these crap filters are filling up landfills.
@@faxmen09 Since I'm an engineer, my opinion would be that marketing got involved in the design process. I've lived that life, and honestly have wanted to slap people with these ideas. If they really wanted to make it easy, there are 2 things they could do: 1) Design the filter to be replaced without spilling oil or having any of it hit the frame. 2) Make it easy to drain. Here we have a conversion kit that does most of that.
This design is criminal.
@@cgilleybsw I have converted since my last comment here. It was kind of a messy process but part of that my fault. Glad it's done, but wish there was something I could do with the EZ Change parts besides toss them. Wonder if local JD dealer would want them.
Top tip. Try using suction from a small shop vac connected to the oil fill tube. You might need assistance. It will enable you to install the drain tube without the mess.
That oil gadget, the non-adjustable tie rods, and that plastic part which serves as the gas gauge and anchor for the rear mower deck stablizer convince me that JD is now the king of junk box store mowers. I had a 73JD 110 and the only plastic parts on it were the little handles on the choke and gas levers. I sold it working fine 3 years ago and I bet it is still running!
Wow first time I’ve seen your videos. I have an s180 with 10 hrs on it. I changed the oil once but i heard the QC filter was bad for the motor. I got the kit and i thank you for the tutorial. Excellent job. Earned a new subscriber!!!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thanks for sharing this! I only have 12 hours on my 2022 JD E120, going to do this change over asap.! At first I thought the 5 min oil change wasn’t a bad idea, that is until I priced the new oil/filter assembly!! After all, who’s honestly that busy to make it worth paying $50 plus for what amounts to an oil change, new filter and 2 quarts of oil? And as you mentioned, I definitely don’t like the left over used oil remaining in the crankcase! Thanks again, Wilbur, Florida
Hi Wilbur, you will save $$ and your engine will last longer with the kit installed. I’m glad you found this video! Thank you for watching and the kind comment:)
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines You’re sure welcome! And thanks for including the link to purchase the conversion kit, and recommend accessories through Amazon. You and your family have a blessed Easter Sunday 👍
Harbor freight has that socket set for the allens
I just order a s120 deere and I can't believe this is what they have done to their mowers.... why are we going backwards with innovation...
Thank you for the video, just changed out mine. As a tech myself I knew this was too good to be true!!
Thanks for sharing and the kind comment. I just could not believe how much oil was left in the engine and all they want you to do is replace the $50 quick change oil filter. Not good! but now you are good to go!
Just a little tip don’t over tighten any bolts on the engine it’s aluminum also especially with the oil filter.
Quick change oil filter?
Who makes that abomination?
Let’s half the life of an engine, just to keep the moron from getting his hands dirty!
The sludge and debris live at the bottom of the engine, as you know.
Good job video explaining this.
100% agree :)
I just did this on my S170. Amazing video. Everything went smoothly. Thank a lot
For the help!!
I’m glad it was helpful and everything went smoothly. Your engines life will last a lot longer and after the initial oil filter kit change, it should actually be cheaper to change the oil and filter now and you will get all of the contaminated oil out in the process! Now you should watch my last video on changing your front wheel bushings out to ball bearings. Another big upgrade so your front wheels won’t fall off if not taken care of.ruclips.net/video/Cd15I0mWcQM/видео.html.
I bought a cub c880 this summer from a dealer who prep the mower. Before storing the last cut, I noticed the starter seemed slower and there was a oil film around the drain plug. Screw on + battery loose and so was the oil plug! Battery bolt had some bad threads? In any case me and Mr ratchet spend some snuggles with the cadet.
I have no idea what I am doing but my GF has an E120 that needs some maintenance starting with the oil change system. I get it but have never worked on a lawn tractor.
11:00 - that's an OLD Craftsman ratchet. I have one :)
I really feel that the design of that oil filter facing up just is a bad idea. Wonder if it truly works properly?
Hi Michael, I would say it works as the engine is fully pressure lubricated but not being able to get all the oil out when you swap it out is the worst thing about it. Im just glad we can take it off and keep the engines running much longer if you take care of it. Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting the channel.
This was so informative.
If the system is so bad, why is there no recall?
Shouldn't the quick-change system name be changed to " fast-kill" or..........." sales accelerator " system?
Hi Brad, love your videos been watching for a while now and am getting heaps of good info & tips.
I've just bought a new S120 which has the quick change system and although I think it's a great idea as well it has its flaws as you've pointed out.
Could I not just buy the drain extension tube and install that then when doing an oil change, remove the old quick change filter, drain the rest of the old oil through the new drain tube, then put the new QC filter back on and top the engine up with the correct amount of oil.
Would that work or would it be easier to totally swap the filter system out as you've done in the video.
Keep up the great vids.
Cheers
Pete.
Yes you could but the other point of the video other than making the engine last is it is much cheaper to change oil and filter with the kit. The QC oil filter in my area is $50 plus you will need more oil than what is in the QC filter supplies. A normal oil filter goes for $10 to $13 depending on where you purchase it. It’s much cheaper in the long run to change it all out. It’s up to you. Thank you for watching my videos and the kind comment.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines Hi again Brad, I'm in Oz and everything here is dear- even those small filters are pricey unless you buy the cheaper Chinesium ones and even then they can put a good hole in your pocket. .
Thanks for the reply and great videos.
Cheers
Pete.
I am going to do half of this. I am too lazy to convert the filter side, plus I hate getting messy changing the filter. So I will leave the quick change one and add the extension on the drain side. Then when I change the quick change filter I will drain the oil all the way. I just wonder what oil the QC filter comes with.
Fantastic job!

AWESOME JOB! THANK YOU, GOD BLESS.

This may be a dumb question, but, if you remove the drain plug, and then the quick change oil filter, wouldn't that drain all the old oil out? Of course, you still would have to purchase an expensive quick change oil filter I suppose. Thank you. John
Very messy and expensive.
I was thinking the same thing. Would change all the dirty oil and leave you wth a big nice filter . since I could change every 2 years the 50 filter doesnt sound too bad plus you get a quart of oil with the BIG GREEN EZ CHANGE!
Hi Brad, Thanks for this video, very well done. Any particular oil to use, tell us what weight oil and can you use synthetic oil in these small engines?
Most now use 10w30. Yes you can use synthetic oil.
Brad - Enjoyed the video and I plan to do this job on my E130 when the weather cools off. What’s the brand and model of your cordless ratchet wrench.
Milwaukee M12 1/4” electric ratchet.
Outstanding video. Thanks.

Thank you for this video. I"m looking to buy my first riding mower but don't want to go thru the haste of this mod. Can you recommend another riding lawn mower similar to this John Deere with out having to change out a quick oil filter.
There are many John Deere tractors that do not have the quick change. You need to stop in where they sell the tractors and take a look.
The plastic cap on the drain tube looks pretty crappy. I don't really trust it.
Thanks for the video
I’m glad it was helpful and you can get it switched out to help extend the life of your engine! Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Please give this video a like, and share my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated.
Love your video. Tell me, how can John Deere install this quick filter and oil, knowing it leaves a lot of old oil behind? Is there something else we don't know about this oil/filter combo? John Deere can't be this dumb. Or is that the case?
JD is fading. Years ago, they started to transition to non-serviceable customer systems - the farmers HAVE to use JD expensive support. This is just more of the same crap.
Do your conversion kit parts list also work for the S120? Thanks
Yes
Hello! Can I do that to my z635r zero turn?
Just wondering if you'll done a video on the JD S100 hydrostatic belt. Mine broke with only 4 hours. Dealer said the front guide belts were not lined up from the factory.
It should be under warranty??? if John Deere dealer said it was there issue. I have a video that may help but it is not the exact model. ruclips.net/video/wGtBWgMQMFQ/видео.html.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I noticed when i picked it up from Lowes and got home' there was a small half inch nut laying in the trunk bed, just wondering if it fell off one of the guide belts, becaues I didn't take out the extended warranty' JD said they would pick it up,bring it back to my house for $90 which is only 20 mile drive, I though that was kinda high. My friend help me get it up there, and they bought it back for $45. The cost was $260 for parts,labor my warranty is 2 years, or 120 hours, I didn't have to pay. It's cutting good now.
Thanks for the link, I will check it out.
Will doing this void the warranty???
I have a S170. The parts you are for E170. Are E100 series compatible to S100 series? I’ve only seen E100 series.
If you have a Briggs and Stratton engine on your machine, it should work. To be 100% sure I would contact a John Deere dealership.
Brad your V Twin said thank you for deleting that nonsense easy change system
Yes, it sure did!! It is a much happier engine:)
Great metal table , where can we get that set Thanks
It was an old deli counter. All stainless steel.
Great video. I use to work at JD. What a dumbass design. I'm disabled and now will have to convert this unit. They are going to get a nasty gram from me.
Does John Deere make a kit to add the quick-change filter system to an engine that does not have one? lol
Super helpful. Thanks a bunch
Glad to hear! Thank you for the kind comment.
Would doing this void your warranty?
Only John Deere can answer that. John Deere made the retro kit so your still using there parts. Let me know if you contact your local dealership what they say.
would they void warranty for doing this mod if you don't use their proprietary kit and just use a generic amazon kit.. I mean they shouldn't but we all know how it goes
Ultimately that is a question for the John Deere dealership. My opinion, if properly installed they shouldn’t because they sell the kit to install.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thanks..yeah maybe i'll call around and see if I can get their own kit to be on the safe side..worth a few extra bucks..still cheaper than these dumb quick change things lol
👍🏾
Thanks William:)
I priced the quick drain oil filter at Home Depot. $56. With tax, that puts it at a bit over $60 for an oil change. A partial oil change at that! I will not be buying a John Deere with that ridiculous feature.
What a useless location for an oil drain bolt, but it's not as bad as an 80s Honda Civic where the oil filter was on the back of the engine between the engine and the firewall and directly over the exhaust manifold. I think the Japanese went stupid on that one.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
JUST A THOUGHT COULDN'T YOU JUST SUCK OUT THE OIL FROM ENGINE AND STILL USE THE QUICK CHANGE FILTER? YES I KNOW YOU WOULD STILL HAVE TO BUY THE QUICK CHANGE FILTER AND ADDITIONAL OIL.
I don’t understand why put that tiny oil filter on in place of larger ez change filter. I don’t see why you can’t drain the block. It has a drain plug like any other small engine. It just needs the extension to make it easier.
The what you call "tiny oil filter" is a normal size oil filter used on 99% of all small engines that have oil filters. Why would you spend up to $60.00 everytime you change your engine oil and oil filter plus another 1.5 qts of oil. When you can change out the system back to the original way they are suppose to be and save soooo much money in the process!! You can get the normal oil filter for as little as $8.00 then add the 2 qts of oil. I would say on the average your saving 3x the $$.
I'll keep the 30 sec filter, but just put a drain plug in to drain almost all the oil.
It's essentially like the John Deere oil filter is for lazy people who don't want to get their hands dirty and that's coming from someone like me who is a small engine mechanic that cannot stand people just say they don't like to get their hands dirty but they complain when there's something messes up on their machine and they can't fix it and they bring it to me but I usually recommend them to do the same thing because coming from mechanic standpoint I cannot stand the John Deere filter either
Eze change fck up/more crap you dont need.exspensive to use and change back to normal.total garbage dont buy.
