Change Oil Filter

Some engines are equipped with an oil filter. Replace

the oil filter every other oil change, in accordance with

the “Oil Change Intervals” table on page 8. Always

use a genuine Kohler oil filter, Part No. 52 050 02, and

replace as follows:

1 .

3 .

4 .

6 .

Drain the oil from the engine crankcase.

Allow the oil filter to drain.

Remove the old filter and wipe the filter adapter

gasket surface.

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.

Put a drop of oil on your fingertip and wipe it on

the rubber gasket. Allow a minute or two for the

oil to be absorbed by the filter material then

install it on the engine. Turn the oil filter clockwise

until rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter,

then tighten filter an additional l/2 turn.

Reinstall drain plug. Make sure it is tight.

Fill the crankcase with new oil of the proper type

to the ‘IF” mark on the dipstick. Add an additional

l/2 pint of oil for the filter capacity. See

“Specifications” on page 15.

Test run the engine to check for leaks. Stop the

engine, allow a minute for the oil to drain down,

and recheck the level on the dipstick. Make sure

oil level is up to but not over the “F” mark on the

dipstick.
