Mowers are manufactured to last for about 500 hours of running, which breaks down to about 19-20 years for the typical non-commercial user. Commercial mowers, which see a great deal more use, are designed to last for 1000 hours of service, which is about 10 years. To extend the life of a lawn mower to its full potential, there are certain simple preventative routines a user can follow, including annual oil and filter changes. One important routine maintenance ritual for mowers that is often overlooked is changing the air filter, something that should be done at least annually.

When replacing the filter, make sure to use a genuine OEM certified replacement part like this one, which is manufactured according to the specification of the original factory filter.
