Figure 6. Oil Level Dipstick.

5. If the level is low, add oil of the proper type, up to

the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. (Refer to “Oil

Type” on page 4.) Always check the level with the

dipstick before adding more oil.

NOTE: To prevent extensive engine wear or

damage, always maintain the proper oil

level in the crankcase. Never operate the

engine with the oil level below the “ADD”

mark or over the “FULL” mark on the

dipstick.

Oil Sentry

™

Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil

Sentry

™

oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure

decreases below an acceptable level, the Oil Sentry

™

will either shut off the engine or activate a warning

signal, depending on the application.

NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE

EACH USE and is maintained up to the

“FULL” mark on the dipstick. This includes

engines equipped with Oil Sentry

™

Change Oil and Filter

Change the oil and oil filter every 200 hours or

annually, whichever comes first (more often under

severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ

or higher oil, as specified in the ‘‘Viscosity Grades’’

table (Figure 2) on page 4. Always use a genuine

Kohler oil filter, Part No. 52 050 02-S.

Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil

will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.

Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking, or

changing the oil.

Change the oil and oil filter as follows (see Figure 7):

1. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean

the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before

removing it.

2. Remove one of the oil drain plugs and the oil fill

cap/dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for

complete drainage.

3. Before removing the oil filter, clean the area

around the oil filter to keep dirt and debris out of

the engine. Remove the old filter and wipe off the

filter adapter with a clean cloth.

4. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened

to 13.6 N·m (10 ft. lb.) torque.

5. Place a new replacement filter in a shallow pan

with the open end up. Pour new oil, of the proper

type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop

pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the

threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be

absorbed by the filter material.

6. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the rubber gasket

on the new filter.

7. Install the new oil filter to the filter adapter. Hand

tighten the filter clockwise until the rubber gasket

contacts the adapter, then tighten the filter an

additional 2/3 to 1 turn.

8. Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type,

to the ‘‘FULL’’ mark on the dipstick. Refer to ‘‘Oil

Type’’ and ‘‘Check Oil Level’’ on pages 4 and 8.

Always check the level with the dipstick before

adding more oil.

9. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten

securely by turning to the right.
