no oil from drain plug
Just changed the filter and oil on a sit on top mower.
Some oil came out of the filter but not much.
Nothing came out of the plug even though the dipstick days Max.
So, I put another 600ml in and changed the filter.
Still nothing coming out of the plug and dipstick still reads Max!
Capacity is 600ml oil.
Any ideas what to do?

Should it be a bolt or a little yellow plastic cap that you can just just pull off?
The plastic cap has a little cylinder type metal in it but when I put a screwdriver in it, nothing comes out.

I don't know of any yellow caps. Sometimes there is a buildup of who knows what that blocks the drain hole. I guess it could block the port to the oil filter too. It only happened to me once on a Chrysler. Mowers maybe different.

Per your picture;
Rotate the fitting about 2* CCW and then pull straight out. This will release the stopper and allow oil to flow. Be good to have a hose on the fitting to direct oil into container.
When through draining, push the fitting back toward engine and then rotate it 2* CW to latch it in closed position.
I think if you will clean around fitting you will be able to see the notch and retaining pin.
Hope this helps!
