Or no change as usual in the manual, would be fun if the manual stated oci:s with SAE30 SG oil, while sticker says "no oil changes"

Perhaps not too far off here. From the image of the EXi posted by Bubbatime above, it looks like a re-stickered E-series engine, like this 625ex:

The EXi shows 163cc on the decal, and this 625ex is a 150cc...but I bet it's the same basic engine.

Depends on what Briggs considers the lifetime of a mower to be, and whether their customers agree with them.


From my personal experience with Ford (two pickups), they carried through with their disposable vehicle plan...... Both of them were rolling junk piles from day one.
