Hi

Stupid me! HS40 boxed up and ready to ship but forgot to drain oil. Drained gas but forgot oil. Will it harm engine or leak if shipped with oil in it? Wanted to ask before tearing box apart to drain oil.

Thanks in advance

Yes it willleak out the breather and make a mess possibly piss off the shipper and toss it. Take it out and drain the oil. Put tape on the gas cap saying no oil.
That's good enough for me. Will drain the oil.

Nice tip putting tape on gas tank showing "no oil".

Thanks!
