KOHLER ENGINE OIL CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS
2/3
It is essential that the amount of oil which remains in the sump be as small as possible, since the useful life of
the next oil charge may be shortened due to the presence and quality of this oil quantity.
CAUTION
Contact with hot oil may cause severe burns.
2. Open the drain plug of the oil cooler and remove the waste oil. Make sure the cooler body is drained.
3. Clean the oil sump through the inspection cover provided for this purpose on one side of the sump.
CAUTION
Do not use any cleaning product likely to leave residues.
4.
Set and tighten the drain plugs thoroughly.
5.
Now, through the filling plug pour new oil, according to
Kohler
specifications, until
the oil level is
two centimetres
above the maximum limit on the dipstick
.
6.
Perform a pre-lubrication cycle, idle the engine and check that the oil level is between the maximum and
minimum marks on the dipstick.
7.
Inspect for possible oil leakage in the engine.
8.
Check the oil level every day. With the engine at rest and cold oil, the level must reach the maximum mark
on
the dipstick. When the engine is idling, the level must be within the max. and min. marks on the
dipstick. If
necessary, add oil as per
Kohler
specification for each application.
On engines with an automatic oil level controller, oil makeup is continuous.
WARNING
Dispose of waste oil in a controlled manner in compliance with the prevailing legislation on waste oil collection
and management.
We do not recommend adding extra additives because the oils used in
Kohler
engines have been formulated
and produced with state-of-the-art technology so that nothing need be added to the original formulation.
Besides,
the use of additives other than those contained in a given oil is likely to modify its balance, resulting in an
unfavourable performance of oil.
If you cannot use any of the recommended types of oil for the application concerned, you should consult
Kohler
before choosing another type of oil.
