Nice video.... if you put a 2x4 or something similar under the right side track the oil can completely drain out of the left side drain plug.
I bought my Honda HS624 Snowblower new in 1994. 2024 will mark 30 years of faithful service without ANY problems. But unlike your oil change process, my HS624 is a wheel version (non-tracks) and to change the oil, the Left Tire MUST be removed. This entails removing a cotter pin and sliding the tire off. The good news is this allows the snowblower to tilt towards the drain chute side allowing the crankcase to fully drain without any addition maneuvering of the unit.
I change the oil every year and the spark every 3 years -or- as needed. I've never had a spark plug foul in this machine This year when I do the oil change, I will do the spark plug as it has been 3 years and they are inexpensive enough as preventative maintenance.
As you said early in your video, these machines cost more than average, but they are well Above average in their build and design quality.
I paid $699 on sale New for this HS624. In very good used condition today, they sell for $1000 or more. I could sell this today and would in essence been paid $300+ and a FREE snowblower to use for 30 years! Crazy huh? That's why it's worth buying quality rom the start!
But some say these old machines were built much better than the new ones being sold today, but I don't know that to be certain as I haven't looked at or tried any of the newer Honda snowblowers.
You make a lot of great points! These machines are very well built. I’ve thought before about purchasing a new model but I have read where they are more prone to the chute clogging. Several RUclips videos demonstrate modifications to avoid this. In my opinion, you shouldn’t have to modify a new machine for it to work optimally. I plan to keep the one I have and take care of it!

I've always changed my oil as I put the snow machine away for the summer, that way the sediment and dirt don't sit in the machine all summer...
Great video (great machine) that Hondue is!
ive seen a lot of oil change videos…. this is one of the best ive ever seen
Thank you for the kind words! Please consider subscribing to the channel!
You could improve your system by putting a rag under the chute and cutting your own funnel from a jug like an anti freeze bottle. This could be cut for a tight fit around the chute and still provide a good flow to your container. The ultimate is one of the hose fittings like drain eze that allows you to put it directly in the jug with no spills. Take care. Doug
If your oil drain bolt is a 12mm x 1.5 pitch, like my Honda is, then you'll find that the F109 Fumoto oil drain valve will fit. You can get the one with the nipple, the F109N. You can then attach some tubing onto it to drain. No more removing drain bolts, no more replacing washers, no more mess.
Thx for the video
Can you please do a video on how to check and replace the belt on these Honda track snowblowers. Nobody has done a video on this yet. I’d like to know with tracks!
thx from Czech!
You are quite welcome!
I can’t tell how much oil it needs in the manual? I have an 1132 Honda snowblower and did it all the way to the top reservoir. The dipstick doesn’t help here. On the manual it shows top of reservoir and every time I remove dipstick it falls out. Any comment / suggestion here? Is it better to have higher level of oil or lower level of oil
Basically, you are filling the crankcase with oil until you reach the bottom of the fill hole. If you look in the back of the manual, you will see a specification chart for each model. You will find the oil capacity for your specific model in the specifications chart. It should be around a quart give or take depending on whether or not you were able to drain out all of the old oil. I believe specification chart states the oil capacity in liters.
averagejoevideo mine says 1.1 liter. It also shows the oil at the top of the fill hole. Which I have gotten too. Seems too high though
You will find that it does take it to the top of the fill hole. The issue is that when you go to check it, you are almost guaranteed to have oil spill out the fill hole. I like mine to be no higher than the bottom of the fill hole. Remember, technically as long as it is in middle of the cross hatches of the dipstick it's okay. I try to keep mine at the middle of the cross hatches and up.
honda makes the best blowers..another tip...change the impeller bearing every few seasons..its only around 16$ and if you are decent with a wrench you can do it. ..it wears out and you will be breaking that shear bolt that is on the impeller shaft and it is a bitch to replace because the impeller is flopping around and it twists the pin...took me 3 hours to get mine out. if you are changing the belts do that while you have it apart.
Can you please make a video on this!
Is there a washer on the drain plug.
Yes. I would not consider it a crush washer. I have never had to replace it yet. I actually just changed oil about two weeks ago and the washer looks perfect. My guess is that it is supposed to be replaced but I never have and I am careful to not over tighten.
I have the same snowblower and need to change the oil. Does yours have two places to fill oil? One on each side?
Yes, they all have two places to fill because that is how the engine casing is manufactured. However, you want to use the side with the dipstick. There is no reason to remove the opposite fill plug. Typically the side with the dipstick is the white/grey cap and the other side is black.
Thanks!
why didn't you finish draining the oil on the fill side? there must be a reason for the 2nd drain plug.
Keep in mind that this particular Honda engine is used in a variety of applications. As such, the manufacturer includes drain plugs and fill plugs on both sides. The intent is to use the fill plug with the dipstick (grey in color) and use the corresponding drain plug. The drain plug that should be utilized will have the metal spout below it as this one does. Often, the second drain plug will not.
Why not put a pipe that extends out with a valve on the end?
While that is certainly an option, I am hesitant to do that. The reason is because this unit is used in very deep snow. I would hate for a chunk of ice to stick to the tracks and fuse to the extension pipe or bend the extension pipe. I know that is not likely but it’s possible. It’s seems that when there’s a foot of snow on the ground if it can happen, it will. Thanks for watching! Please consider subscribing.
Does it matter name brand of oil? Everyone says get “ Honda “ brand
It doesn’t matter. My philosophy is to use a name brand high quality oil that is the correct weight and stick with it. I personally use Valvoline.
Yamaha snowblower are the best. Only problem not sold in USA
Yamaha junk blowers
Would this be similar to a hs55!
Yes this would be very similar. I actually think it's just the newer version.
HS55 does not have the little ramp.
Love my Honda but oil plug is a stupid design
I agree with you…the design could be better. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe.
10 минут говорить как поменять масло в двигатель, ну это совсем перебор
Designed for money grubbing Honda service.
If you are talking about the oil change procedure, I don’t know that I agree. The unit does not take an oil filter and the drain plug and fill plug can’t be much easier to access.
What a BAD BAD BAD BAD Design. Great motor though
Not a bad design per se. It's an "open" design. This is an industrial engine with a few decades of proven services. Exactly the same power unit is used on a huge amount of equipment. From snowblowers to generators, concrete mixers or farm equipment, a really vast etc.
It is literally impossible to cover all the options in which this engine is applied. in that sense kudos to them for supplying drain and fill on both sides. ;-)
A length of pipe screwed in to the drain hole and a cap on the end would help. I have one on mine.
Dude.. you live under a rock? Best blowers made. And the new version of this rocks:-) I'd use nothing less.... because I only use the BEST!!!! You know, cause I'm great and all:-) LOL
@@krkabob I have two the suck, They blow snow like know ones business. Maintenance and cost they suck. that simple!
