Changing Engine Crankcase Oil/Oil Filter
Change the engine crankcase oil and lter every
300 hours if the recommended Kohler PRO
®
prod-
ucts are being used. If conventional oil and lters
are being used, change the crankcase oil after ev-
ery 100 hours of operation and replace the oil lter
after 200 hours of operation.
1. Park the mower on a level surface with the
en gine stopped. The engine oil should be
warm before draining. If not warm from opera-
tion, start the engine and run a few minutes to
warm the oil.
2. Before removing the dipstick, clean the area
around the dipstick to keep any dirt or debris out
of the en gine.
3. Remove the dipstick and the oil drain plug and
drain the oil into a suitable container. Be sure
to allow ample time for complete drainage.

4. Before removing the oil lter, clean the area
around the lter to keep dirt and debris out of
the engine.
5. Remove the old oil lter and wipe o󰀨 the lter
mounting surface on the engine.
6. Apply a thin coating of clean oil to the rubber
gasket on the replacement oil lter.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY Kohler oil lters. See
the Specications section for a list of recom-
mended lters. After market oil lters may not
seal properly and/or may not have the correct
pressure relief valve for proper lubrication.
7. Install the new oil lter on the engine. Turn the
lter clockwise until the rubber gasket contacts
the sealing surface, then tighten an additional
3/4 to 1 turn.
8. Reinstall the drain plug. Make sure it is tight-
ened to 10 lb·ft (14 N·m).
9. Remove the ll cap on the engine valve cover,
and ll the crankcase with new, clean oil. Use
only crankcase lubricants recommended by the
en gine manufacturer. Refer to Specications
in this manual or the engine owner’s manual.
Use the recommended oil viscosity for the ex-
pected ambient temperature. Oil with the cor-
rect vis cosity will aid starting in cold weather and
assure proper lubrication in hot weather. Fill up
to, but not above, the “F” mark on the dip-
stick. Crankcase capacity is 1.8 quarts (1.7 li-
ters) plus 1/2 pint (0.24 liters) for the new oil
lter.
IMPORTANT: Check the dipstick reading be-
fore adding the last 1/2 pint of oil and ll only to
the “F” mark. DO NOT overll the crankcase
(oil above “F” mark) as this CAN result in en-
gine overheating, loss of power, and possible
engine damage.
10. Start the engine and check for oil leaks around
the oil lter. Stop the engine, recheck the oil
level, and add oil if necessary. (When the en-
gine is rst operated with a new oil lter, the oil
level drops slightly as the lter is lled with oil.)
