Hey guys...little advice.
17.5hp Kohler
34 hours
1.5 years old
I posted a few days ago about a Kohler 17.5hp that started smoking after putting in Mobil 1 10W-30. Oil level is ok, but smokes a little. I looked in the manual and the only requirement listed is oil rated SG and SF. I only use this mower during summer.
I was wondering if I could possibly use Delo 15W-40? According to the website it says nothing other than being CH-4 rated.
Could I use this oil? The motor has hydraulic lifters, if that matters.
I want to use something that will keep the motor running the best for years and years and years to come.
Thanks
