Checking the Engine Oil Level

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The engine is shipped with approximately 1.9 L (2 quarts) (w/
filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, you should check the
oil level before and after the engine is first started.
Note: The best time to check the engine oil is when the
engine is cool before it has been started for the day. If it has
already been run, allow the oil to drain back down to the
sump for at least 10 minutes before checking. If the oil level is
at or below the Add mark on the dipstick, add oil to bring the
oil level to the Full mark. Do not overfill. If the oil level is
between the Full and Add marks, no additional oil is required.
The engine uses any high-quality detergent oil having the
American Petroleum Institute (API) service classification SH,
SJ, or higher. Oil viscosity (weight) is selected according to
anticipated ambient temperature.
Temperature/ viscosity recommendations are as follows:
•
Above –20 degrees C (0 degrees F)—Use 10W-30.
•
Below 0 degrees C (32 degrees F)—Use SAE 5W-30.
Note: SAE 10W-40 and straight weight oils (SAE 30, etc.)
are not recommended in Kohler
with pump-up of hydraulic lifters with those oils. Either
synthetic or mineral based oils may be used, but oil drain
intervals should be the same (per recommendations).
1. Position the machine on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (Figure 11) and wipe it with a
clean rag.
1. Filler Cap
3. Insert the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is
seated fully.
4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.
5. If the oil level is low, remove the filler cap (Figure 11)
and add enough oil to raise the level to the Full mark
on the dipstick.
Note: When adding oil, remove dipstick to allow
proper venting. Pour oil slowly and check the level
often during this process. Do not overfill.
Important: When adding engine oil or filling
oil, there must be clearance between the oil fill
device and the oil fill hole in the valve cover as
shown in Figure 12. This clearance is necessary
to permit venting when filling, which prevents oil
from overrunning into the breather.
