Kennedy 90 #1 Posted June 19, 2014 I have a 1996 Kohler m14. I changed the oil for the first time since I bought it (it has just sat since then). I let the oil drain for about 3 1/2 hours owners manual says it takes two quarts poured in two quarts and let it sit over night. I checked it just a few minutes ago and this is how the dipstick read: Should I add more oil or do I have the wrong dipstick Im not sure how to proceed.

oldredrider 2,547 #2 Posted June 19, 2014 Mark, what I do is go by the mfg. capacity chart. Add the recommended amount and adjust dipstick or make new marks on it. So far, so good. You did right by draining crankcase completely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,539 #3 Posted June 19, 2014 This should take 2-1/2 quarts with the low oil switch introduced in 1986. After the switch was first used they did take 2 quarts and they revised that and changed the dipstick. I just looked in the chart There is a service bulletin on this and the dipstick change but can't find it at the moment. Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,539 #5 Posted June 19, 2014 Found the service bulletin. I searched for dipstick but should have used dip stick. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
