Recommended Oil; Acea Sequences - Kohler KD225 Workshop Manual

The engine could be damaged if allowed to operate with insufficient oil. It is also dangerous to add too much oil as its com-
bustion could sharply increase the rotation speed.
Use a suitable oil in order to protect the engine.
The lubrication oil influences the performances and life of the engine in an incredible way.
The risk of piston seizure, jammed piston rings and rapid wear of the cylinder liner, the bearings and all moving parts in-
creases if oil whose characteristics differ from the recommended type is used, or if the oil is not regularly changed. All this
notably reduces engine life.
Oil viscosity must suit the ambient temperature in which the engine operates.
Old oil can cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin and for long periods of time. If contact with the oil is
inevitable, you are advised to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible.
Appropriate protective gloves etc should be wore during this operation.
Old oil is highly polluting and must be disposed of in the correct way. Do not litter.
