The sharpie mark on the filter is genius. Thank you!

I appreciate the comment.

Came here to find what weight oil it calls for bc I can’t find it anywhere on the mower. Now after watching the entire video I full believe you are correct on 10w30 lol. If my mower blows up I hope you offer a warranty if I follow your instructions! Good video man most people skip a lot of steps and believe it or not more people don’t know all these things you provided in the video! 👍

great video. I grew up thinking you needed to put a little oil in the filter as well. Well one day I was at a pretty large small engine repair shop and three of their mechanics assured me that all you need to do is oil the gasket. They actually showed me a cutout of an engine and showed me that when you pour the oil in the top and let it sit for just a short time, just enough oil trickles down through the engine and into the filter. Of course the real circulation happens when you start it. They said, just don't start it for about an hour if you really want to be sure. That's what I was told..dunno how true. I may still put a small bit in mine lol. Appreciate the video!

Thank you!! I grew up on a farm and my dad always filled the filter with oil before putting it on. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt anything by not adding oil, old habits I suppose! Thank you for your comment.

Kohler recommends to fill the filter to the bottom of the threads, wait two minutes and install the filter. Search "Kohler oil change" and the factory instructional video for the 7000 Series will come up.

Great video Tony. Do you happen to have a video changing out spark plugs, fuel and air filters?

[@tonyjones1290]

Thank you. I do need to change my spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filter. I’ll make another video in a week or so when I change that out. I’ll link it to this video.

If it touches the F mark, its is just where it's supposed to be not below it.

[@tonyjones1290]

According to Kohler the engine can be safely operated if the oil level is anywhere between the “F” full mark and the “L” Low mark. It is just as hard on the engine if the oil is overfilled as it is if not enough oil. You can certainly fill it all the way to the “F” mark, I like to keep it just below to ensure it is not overfilled. Either way the engine can be safely operated.
