Oil Recommendations

Using the proper type and weight of oil in the

crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil

daily and changing oil and filter regularly. Failure to

use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature

engine wear and failure.

Before each start, make sure the crankcase is filled

with proper type and quantity of oil.

Oil Type

Use high quality detergent oil of API (American

Petroleum-Institute) service class SG or SH. Select

the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time

of operation as shown in the following table.

TEMPERATURE RANGE EXPECTED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE

Figure 2. Viscosity Grades Table.

Straight 30-weight (Kohler “Magnum”) oil is

preferred. SAE IOW-30 oil is not recommended

above 32°F. Using this oil substantially increases oil

consumption and combustion chamber deposits.

NOTE: Using other than service class SG or SH oil or

extending oil change intervals longer than

recommended can cause engine damage.

A logo or symbol on oil containers identifies the API

service class and SAE viscosity grade. See Figure 3.

Refer to “Maintenance Instructions” beginning on

page 7 for detailed oil check, oil change, and oil

filter change procedures.
