Section 6

Lubrication System

Change the oil as follows:

1. A drain plug is located on either side of the oil

sump; one is near the starter, the other is near the

oil filter. See Figures 6-4 and 6-5. Clean the area

around the most accessible oil drain plug and the

oil fill cap/dipstick.

2. Remove the selected drain plug and the oil fill

cap/dipstick.

3. Allow the oil to drain and then reinstall the

drain plug. Torque to 13.6 N·m (10 ft. lb.).

4. Fill the engine with the proper oil to the ‘‘FULL’’

mark on the dipstick. Always check the oil level

with the dipstick before adding more oil.

5. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick.

Changing Oil Filter

Replace the oil filter at least every other oil change

(every 200 hours of operation). Always use a genuine

Kohler oil filter. Change the filter as follows. See

Figures 6-4 or 6-5.

1. An oil drain plug is located on either side of the

oil sump; one is next to the oil filter, the other is

next to the starter. Clean the areas around the

most accessible drain plug, the oil filter, and the

oil fill cap/dipstick.

2. Remove the selected drain plug and the oil fill

cap/dipstick.

3. Allow the oil to drain and then reinstall the

drain plug. Torque to 13.6 N·m (10 ft. lb.).

4. Remove the old filter and wipe off the filter

adapter with a clean cloth.

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 oil 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 3/4-1 turn.

8. Fill the engine with the proper oil to the “FULL”

mark on the dipstick. Always check the oil level

with the dipstick before adding more oil.

9. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick.

10. Start the engine and check for oil leaks. Stop the

engine, correct any leaks, and allow a minute for

the oil to drain down, then recheck the level on

the dipstick.

Service Oil Cooler

Some engines are equipped with an oil cooler. One

style of oil cooler mounts on the engine crankcase and

has the oil filter on it. See Figure 6-6. The other style of

oil cooler is mounted on the blower housing, separate

from the oil filter. See Figure 6-7.

Inspect and clean the oil cooler every 100 hours of

operation (more frequently under severe conditions).

In order to be effective, the oil cooler must be kept free

of debris.

Figure 6-6. Crankcase Mounted Oil Cooler.

To service the crankcase mounted oil cooler, clean off

the outside fins with a brush or with compressed air.
