the "FULL" or "F" mark on the dipstick. (Refer to
"Oil Type" on page 4.) Always check the level
with the dipstick before adding more oil.
NOTE: 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" or "L" mark or
above the "FULL" or "F" mark on the
dipstick.
4. Remove dipstick and check oil level. The level
should be between the "Full or F" and "Add or L"
marks. If low, add oil of the proper type up to the
full mark. Reinstall oil fill cap/dipstick and screw

Oil Sentry™
Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil
Sentry™ oil pressure switch. If the oil pressure drops
below an acceptable level, the Oil Sentry™ will either
shut off the engine or activate a warning signal,
depending on the application.
NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked BEFORE
EACH USE and is maintained up to the
"FULL" or "F" mark on the dipstick. This
includes engines equipped with Oil Sentry™.

Change the oil and oil filter annually or 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
(Figure 2) on page 4. Always use a genuine Kohler oil
filter. Use chart below to determine part number to

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.
