The information in this chapter comes from copyrighted Kohler material.
The viscosity of the engine oil is an important factor when determining the correct
engine oil to use in your machine. Use an engine oil of appropriate viscosity based
on the expected outside air temperature. See the table below.
WARNING
Most used liquids from this machine such as oil, gasoline, grease, etc., contain
small amounts of materials that can cause cancer and other health problems if
inhaled, ingested, or left in contact with skin for prolonged periods of time.
► Take steps to avoid inhaling or ingesting used liquids.
► Wash skin thoroughly after exposure to used liquids.
1.4 Oil
Important
• The engine may be damaged if operated with improper oil
level.
• Do not exceed the MAX level because a sudden increase in
engine rpm could be caused by its combustion.
• Use only the recommended oil to ensure adequate protection,
efficiency and service life of the engine.
• The use of lubricants other than recommended may shorten
the engine life.
• Viscosity must be appropriate to the ambient temperature to
which the engine is to be exposed (Par. 1.4.1).
• In the SAE classification, oils are identified according
to viscosity without considering any other qualitative
characteristic.

WITH SPECIFICATIONS
N. B.: Low S.A.P.S. technology (fuel with low Sulphate, Phosphorous, Sulphur content) keeps catalyst in working conditions.
CLASSIFICATION
E6 Long drain LOW S.A.P.S.
E9 Long drain MID S.A.P.S.
Danger
• Prolonged skin contact with the exhausted engine oil can
cause cancer of the skin.
• If contact with oil cannot be avoided, thoroughly wash your
hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
• For the exhausted oil disposal, refer to
and SCRAPPING.
• The code is-made up of two numbers. The first number refers
to the viscosity when cold, for use during winter ("W"= winter),
while the second number is for viscosity at high temperatures.
