Check Oil Level

The importance of checking and maintaining the

proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be

overemphasized. Check oil BEFORE EACH USE as

follows:

1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool

so the oil has had time to drain into the sump.

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

the area around the dipstick before removing it.

3. Remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the

dipstick into the tube and press all the way

down. See Figure 6.

Figure 6. Checking Oil Level.

4. Pull the dipstick out and check the oil level.

The oil level should be up to, but not over, the “F”

mark on the dipstick. See Figure 7.

Figure 7. Oil Level Dipstick.

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

the “F” 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 “L”

mark or over the “F” mark on the

dipstick.

Oil Sentry

™

Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil

Sentry

™

oil pressure switch monitor. 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 “F”

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 3) on page 4. Always use a genuine Kohler oil

filter. Use chart below to determine part number to

order.

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 8):

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

the area around the oil fill cap before removing it.

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

cap. 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.
