While tire kicking the JD big box lawn tractors at Lowes yesterday, I noticed that JD has a new "30 second oil change system."
The V twin air cooled engines have an inverted oil filter about the size of a full size spin on automotive filter from the 1960s. One buys the filter completely filled with oil and simply removes the old filter filled with the old oil and spins on the new assembly.
