They may get water contamination, but I can guarantee the water isn't coming from the pump, unless the owner is spraying the water on the engine and pump. That water directly from the pump would have to cross a seal, a weep hole, another seal, pump oil, another seal, another weep hole and another seal to get into the engine.
I'm sure some of the senior citizens can remember back in the 50's someone was marketing an oil filter that was a roll of toilet paper and they claimed all you ever had to do was change the roll of toilet paper every now and then.I knew a couple of guys that tried it but don't remember how well it worked out for them.
Had a lawn mower briggs and stratton brand new was $125. I decided I wanted a self propeled so i was wanting to destroy it so I could have an excuse to buy a new one. Used it 10 years and never changed or added oil. Finally I decided to buy a self propelled and my mom took the old one. Its been 37 years later and still running and cutting grass.
I doubt it. I could not believe she still had it.Has your mom changed or added oil?
Gear/pump sump oil @ high hours (not typical personal use). Should have been more clear.
