22HP Kohler engine ?

[Oatmeal]

Which type of oil do you guys use in your engines ?.....

I been using 10w/30w Penzoil in mine, the mower is a 2018 model, as the summers have been going on it gets hotter down through the months and I'm sure as much grass as I cut the engine gets hotter, what do you all recommend for a type of oil to use ?...

I tend to use 15w40 in small air cooled engines, but I also service quite a few of them every year, and many are owned by people who do not check the oil. Really any oil specified in the manual will be just fine, the key is keeping the oil level full and changing it every 50-100 hours at least.

I've got 15w-40 in my 23hp courage. It's 17 years old and burns none.

For summer, I use SAE 30 .

Right now my 7000 series 24HP has 5w40 T6 left over. Since selling my diesel it'll be getting 15w40 T5 for the next 5 years till the 2.5G jug I bought is gone. After that, next 3 years will be Castrol 5w40T oil that I had for the Seadoo that was also sold. Downside of planning ahead is you never know what's going to happen. Only buying oil right before I actually need it LOL.

I go with 10w30 Rotella T4 or T5 on my Kohler.

Mobil 1 0-40 is a great oil for mowers, I have been using it for years. If you are using your machine in the cold this is the best oil.

Not in a Kohler, but I have Rotella Gas Truck 5W-30 running in the 22 hp Subaru EH65 in a Subaru generator. Next change is going to be with Mobil 1 Euro 0W-40.

Rotella T5 15W40 or Motorcraft Super Duty 15W40.

Farm & Fleet 5w40 HDEO in my JD LT150 with a Kohler. I use the 5w40 because I put a snow blower on the front of it in the winter.

Just my $0.02

That's a really nice unit. My son has one.

My Kholer 7000 22HP gets what is leftover from the car changes, which would be a mix of Havoline LifeLong(Syn) 5W30 and Havoline High Mileage 5W30.

That and an automotive filter, can't remember the model, but it is a Champ filter.

I’ve got a 2011 Cub Cadet zero turn with Kohler Courage 22 engine. Oil that I use is Delvac 1300 15w40 with Fram Extra Guard PH3614 filter. I maintain 2.5 acres with this mower and the engine has been great. It uses no oil and still runs great after eleven years of use.
