There is a drain plug on the bottom down by the blade. Put it up on blocks or 5 gallon buckets (under the wheels) get a drain pain and slide underneath the the center of the mower and remove the plug. Refill through the dipstick.

There is a plug on the engine of your lawnmower to drain the oil. Put it up on blocks, and scrape the old grass clippings out of the way.,above the blade. Make sure that the plug hole is clean, so that it doesn't strip when loosening. Pull off the spark plug wire, for safety. Drain the oil, and refill through oil dipstick tube.Tilting the mower on it's side is not a good idea.

I have a John Deere push mower (JS series) with the Briggs & Stratton 6.75hp engine.
I change my oil exactly as you describe. The way they recommend it is to make sure the gas tank is no more than half full, take the oil dipstick out, tip the mower on its left side (carb up in the air) so you don't saturate the air filter with fuel, drain the oil into a suitable container then refill with the appropriate oil to the full mark on the dipstick and you're set.
Hope this helps.

If it's a 4-cycle and blowing blue/white smoke, there is too much oil getting into the combustion chamber. There are several causes for this, and among them are worn rings/cylinder/piston, as well as too much oil in the crankcase, wrong viscosity oil and very old oil. All 4-cycle engines have a crankcase breather of some type that carries blow-by fumes back into the intake side to be burned, and there could be a problem with that system. If it's blowing black smoke with some blue, it's getting too much fuel. 2-cycles usually only smoke excessively from too much oil in the mix or too much fuel getting into the engine. 'Coked-up' rings can cause this in a 4-cycle, and there are engine-cleaning solvents available that could free the rings.

It's got a drain plug in the bottom of the motor somewheres. You're not supposed to turn the mower upside down to drain the oil.

Should be a drain plug under the motor where the blade is, other wise drain it from the dipstick hole. If it could go thru the carb you have more to worry about than an oil change.

You can tilt your mower and way, but don't rotate the engine. Be sure to remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug for safety. Set the mower deck upon concrete blocks to make it easier to access the drain plug.

I always get 2 cement blocks and then set the mower on top of them and then you can get to the drain plug from underneath.

Yes you can tilt it but ALWAYS tilt it with the air filter side up.
