Some mowers are designed to drain oil out of the dipstick tube. remove dipstick and tilt the mower to allow oil to run out into a drain pan. 2/3 rds of a quart or 20 oz is what to expect.

You'll find most Briggs and Statton Engines have an oil drain plug directly on the bottom of the engine. It is square and can be removed with a 3/8" ratchet with no socket on it (you just stick the ratchet or ratchet with extension right in the hole and turn it CCW. When you put it back in, make it tight, but not too tight or you'll crack the block of your engine (trust me!). Some engines such as the Honda's do not have an oil drain plug and you need to just dump the oil right out of the fill spout. Awkward. Your engine will hold between 20 and 22 oz of straight 30 WT oil; do not overfill it. Put in about 20 oz. and let it sit for a few minutes then check it on your dipstick. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
PS: Always remove the spark plug wire before working on your engine! Turning the blade by hand could start your engine and cut your hand off!
