What I heard a couple days ago, is, some new engines don't have dip sticks either now !! ?? Warning light that the level is low and TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALER to have it checked/topped off/changed. Guy had a Dodge pickup, so this may be a Mopar thing, but crap like this spreads if the manufacturer can save 2 dollars.
A lot of new small engines don't even have drain plugs. They don't intend for you to ever change the oil. Just buy a new mower when the engine seizes. If you want to actually change the oil you have to turn the engine upside down & let it run out the filll port.
