Lubricants and operating fluids
These quality levels help to determine the lubricating oil change interval. They indicate the oil
category factor to be used in relationship to the change interval mentioned in the technical
documentation accompanying your diesel engine.

Lubricating oil requirements
Generally speaking, lubricating oils fulfilling the following criteria can be used in Kohler KD
diesel engines. However, a careful check of the characteristics must be undertaken. This
measure ensures that the criteria mentioned in the following sections are explicitly fulfilled
before considering the oil as approved for use in KD diesel engines.

Lubricating oil viscosity grade
The viscosity grade is measured against SAE standards. The first number indicates oil viscosity
at start-up, on cold conditions (W stands for Winter); the second number indicates oil viscosity
at operating conditions (usually considered at 100 °C (212 °F)).
The lubricating oils presenting these viscosity grades are approved for use in Kohler KD diesel
engines:
