Drain the oil and replace it with new oil.It shouldn’t hurt thr engine as long as you let the gas evaporate. paulofhouston

Well Kyle at least you dont have to mow the grass today.
Dump it over with the caps off and drain. After you got as much out as you can leave another day or two and let it evaporate. Refill fluids in the right place this time and your fine.
The gas residue ( which will be small ) will burn off - no worries.

drain it by best method possible. i just turn my over on top of a drain pan. let it air dry some then put in fresh gas/oil. get the oil level right and start. it will smoke some but just keep it running…it will be fine. jim k

Drain the oil and replace it with oil that meets the manufacturer’s spec.s then you can mow. Don’t run the mower until after you change the oil to avoid engine damage. Have someone take the used oil in for recycling every little bit helps. marc s
