It goes on empty, and as others have said, the charge pumps fills it pretty fast.

No hour meter on the 129! 8 hours a week would be a heck of a lot of mowing unless either a large property or doing others'. As I mentioned, my 129 is only used like twice a month on the average between April - Sept. Great point about it being cheap insurance. Not a big expense - money or time-wise to change it.
Ambush...once the old filter is removed, I don't recall very much fluid running out. I don't understand the mechanism enough however to know why that might be the case.
