LUBRICATION

3.Engine Oil, Kohler Engine Changing the Engine Oil

Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table.

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 as follows:

1.To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/dipstick before removing it.

2.Remove the oil drain plug and the oil fill cap/ dipstick. Be sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.

3.Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tightened to 10 ft. lb. (13.6 Nm) torque.

4.Fill the crankcase, with new oil of the proper type, to the “FULL” mark on the dipstick. Refer to the section on Oil Type. Always check the level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

5.Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick and tighten securely.

WARNING!

Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool to a safe temperature first.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

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 “ADD” mark or over the “FULL” mark on the dipstick.

6.Start the engine. Run it for a few seconds and recheck the oil level.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be disposed of on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location.

Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills.
