Engine Maintenance
Refer to the Kohler Owner’s Manual for all engine maintenance procedures and
instructions.
Changing the Engine Oil
WARNING
If the engine has been recently run, the engine, muffler and surrounding
metal surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the skin. Exercise caution
to avoid burns.
To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The oil will flow more
freely and carry away more impurities. Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain hose on the left side of the engine.
3. Place an appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.5 quart capacity
below the opening of the oil drain tube, to collect the used oil. Remove the
oil fill cap/dipstick from the oil fill tube.
