First oil change on mower

[Moon Lake Refuge]

Recommended at 5 hours to change out the break in oil and get all the shavings out.  I've done this on other equipment I've owned but this is the first one I've had with an oil filter.  Should I be putting on a new filter too? or just swap out oil.
Thanks,

For reference this is a 19hp briggs on a rider.

Yes, yes, yes!!! Always change filters with oil! And...rub oil on rubber filter base gasket, and HAND tighten only!!!!

Yeah my buddy through one on his bike with a wrench.  I had to pierce it all the way through with a long screwdriver to get the leverage to undo it.

Good way to rupture the seal, too...and then a mile down the road....*FOOOSH*

First oil change... Factory filter felt like it was torqued on with an impact wrench, drained the oil and yuck... Looked like someone dumped silver glitter in it.  May do another oil change in 5-10 hours just to get all the factory junk out.

Good idea.  Oil is cheap motors are not

That's why you always dump oil and filter after the first few hours of solid running on a small engine.Also why on my new truck I dumped it at 1,000 miles. Should see when they do a fluorescence scan on oil...looks like silver sparklies all thru the oil. I've been wrenching and building engines since the mid 70's, and never blown one yet. Even on my race bikes.

Yeah with what came out of the first change I am in no way confident that everything came out at all.
