The weight is important. Some call for straight 30 , other call for a multiviscosity ie: 10w30. If it is a standard push mower it is probably straight 30. If it is a rider with a oil filter it probably needs 10w30. If you are unsure, reask question with type and size of mower.

How do you change the oil in a craftsman 6.75hp lawnmower?

Depending on the model of the Craftsman lawnmower, there is either an oil plug underneath the deck of the mower which needs removed to drain the oil or the lawnmower needs tipped on it's side to allow the oil to drain out through the oil cap area. Once oil has drained you will want to refill the oil until the dipstick registers "full".

Of course not. Oil is the crankcase of the engine and only goes to the crankshaft, piston rings, cylinder walls,valves, for lubrication. Technically, oil is just for the main moving components.
