I believe you can download the manual off the Support section of their website. I couldn't do it because I don't have the particulars of your mower.

I too have a new 700z with the Briggs Commercial engine. According to the book, change the oil and filter @ 100 hrs. No way am I going to wait that long on factory fill. I'm going to change it about 10 hrs. and use the Briggs 30 wgt oil. Later on I'll switch to synthetic.

Initial change is not listed in the owners manual, called Briggs, they said 5 hrs.

Book says oil (I use Castrol 30) break in change at 10 hours....really easy to do and hydro (20/50) changed out at 100 hours. I'll end up changing oil at the beginning of each season
