14hp Kohler magnum oil

Recommended Posts

I bought this tractor new. Wondering if I have 

always kept too much oil in it. Chat gpt tells me the 314 takes 1.5 quarts. 2 quarts it still says add on the stick? Chat GPT says don’t add anymore? I’ve always kind of suspected 2 quarts was about right but it’s more like 2.5 to show full. My plug has always been oily, figured that was nature of the beast.

Chat GPT also say it’s better to run a little low vs over full.. What do you guys think about this AI giving me the business!

 

Also I’m running Napa 10w 30

Magnums could have a variety of oil pans each would require a different amount of oil.  I doubt AI knows which pan you have.  Use the dipstick.

I did question the oil pan for a Wheel Horse 314. It said yes it could be different but stayed firm at 1.5 quarts. It also told me the tube could be wrong. Not seated correctly..

Most AI crap that I have seen is just that. Accuracy does not seem to be an important part of AI. I could go off on some AI tractor documentary video's that I watched that couldn't more wrong if they tried, but I'll stop. :angry-soapbox:

 

If it has the factory dip stick, consider that as accurate.

Lose the AI crap, then find the correct information here.  Kohler has high zinc oil that would be perfect for your engine.

Why listen to that nonsense when you have this Site?  I have a neighbor whose coworker did their office job entirely with chat.  It is inaccurate tech.  AI is like a two year old.  Still wets the bed often:)

All the M14 with the long tube use the same tube and as it is screwed into the block  not seated correctly is AI BS

 

There is a difference in dip sticks.  What is the spec number of your engine? Then we can make sure you have the correct dip stick (there is a 1/4" difference)

I think the AI is interesting. I do question it sometimes but find it fun to interact with.

Still comes down to the old saying "junk in junk out".

My 1987 312-8 magnum takes 2qts, the 14hp is the same engine with a couple more hp everything else is the same.
