**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** The subject of this video is how to change the engine oil and oil filter on a Kohler V-Twin Engine found on a Craftsman GT5000 Garden Tractor. The engine oil capacity is 1.7 – 1.9 quarts, and Kohler recommends using a multi viscosity, detergent type motor oil with a API SG rating. The Kohler OEM Oil Filter part number is 12 050 01. The engine should be cleaned and brought to operating temperature before the oil and filter is changed. If the engine can’t be cleaned, than at least clean the area of the engine involved in the oil change to prevent any dirt from entering the engine. Bringing the engine to operating temperature will help the used oil flow better and any impurities in the engine are more likely to flow out with hot engine oil. After the engine is cleaned and brought to operating temperature, than the next step is to find the oil drain plug, remove it, and let the old engine oil drain out of the engine. After all the engine oil has drained out of the engine, reinstall the drain plug. With the oil drained and the drain plug reinstalled, than find the oil filter and remove it. Not all engines found on lawn and garden tractors have a oil filter, so this step can be skipped if your engine doesn’t have a oil filter. After the oil filter is removed, than clean the oil filter adapter. Apply a light …

Small Engine Repair: How to Clean a Foam Air Filter or a Foam Pre Cleaner for a Paper Filter
Written by Tools on Sunday, November 13th, 2011 in Power Equipment.
Tags: Clean, CLEANER, Engine, Filter, Foam, Paper, Repair, Small
**Always follow the instructions in your repair manual when doing repair or maintenance work on Outdoor Power Equipment. Manuals can be found at the manufacturers website.** Only foam filters that are in good condition should be cleaned an reused. Brittle filters should be replaced with a new filter. Cleaning foam filters can be done by washing them with regular dish washing soap and water. You can also buy special cleaners that come in a can and are sold at motorcycle dealerships. After the filter is washed and dried, apply a lite coat of motor oil to the filter and soak the oil through the entire filter. Squeeze out any excess oil. I use whatever motor oil I have lying around, but the thinner the better. I usually use 10W-30 or 10W-40 motor oil. You can also buy foam filter oil in a can at your local motorcycle dealership.
