the ‘‘F’’ mark on the dipstick. Always check the
level with the dipstick before adding more oil.

1. To keep dirt, grass clipping, etc., out of the
engine, clean the area around the oil fill cap/
dipstick before removing it.
2. Remove the drain plug and oil fill cap/dipstick. Be
sure to allow ample time for complete drainage.
3. Remove the old filter and wipe off the mounting
pad.
4. Reinstall the oil drain plug and torque to 14 N·m
(125 in. lb.).
5. Place the new replacement filter in a shallow pan
with the open end up. Pour new oil of the proper
type, in through the threaded center hole. Stop
pouring when the oil reaches the bottom of the
threads. Allow a minute or two for the oil to be
absorbed by the filter material.
6. Put a drop of oil on your fingertip and wipe it on
the rubber gasket.

4. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level. The
oil level should be up to, but not over the ‘‘F’’ mark
on the dipstick. See Figure 6-5.
Operating
Range
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 ‘‘L’’
mark or over the ‘‘F’’ mark on the
dipstick.
Change Oil and Oil Filter
Change the oil and oil filter annually or every 100
hours of operation. Change the oil and oil filter 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 or checking oil. Change the oil and
filter as follows (see Figure 6-6). Always use a genuine
Kohler oil filter.
