I have been using this engine in a zero turn this year and at 33 hp it consumes far less cheaper fuel ( 87 Octane) than my 23 hp Diesel which was the prior mpg king. Great engine. I have this in a 61" Spartan. Of course Kohler notes not to use synthetic motor oil until after 50 hours so that the rings seat. Spartan says in the manual the factory fill is their own special elixir which is a 5w40 full synthetic. Of course many sources don't even get the oil and temp charts correct.
Typical in mowers. First change of oil and filter is at 20 hours and you have onboard diagnostics or a OLM telling you to do so.
I chose to honor Kohler and stick with conventional for now. ( I doubt it came with Spartan oil)
Nice video if you're into mower porn
