2.5 qt.
That depends on what size of Kohler engine you have ( my 149 cc Kohler engine on my lawn mower takes ( 20 ounces / 600 ml )
to much oil in the crankcase is the #1 cause.
2 qts. w/filter
On a Kohler engine there is usually a drian plug on the left side of the engine (drivers side) near the rear of the engine. It is right in front of the oil filter. The oil filter base has a small plug in it that you will need to remove also to drain the filter base after you remove the oil filter.
You will need to tell us the model number and type for that info. -Kohler makes MANY engines, some with vertical shaft and some with horizontal shaft, all with different oil capacities. - We wouldn't want to give you incorrect information -
