Cold weather oil for Kolher engines?

[Muzzy]

What are you guys useing for oil in the winter months? This is my first year owning cubs and I have a 123 and a 147 that I'm going to be plowing with. The 123 has a 301 and the 147 has a 321.

Are they inside in a heated shop or garage?

If so, I'd run the SAE30 in them but if not you could drop down to a 10W30. I think is what Kohler calls for in cold weather.

Thanks guys, they're kept inside an unheated garage. I was doing some reading last night on kohler K engines and it suggested either 5w20 or 5w30. I think I'm going to try the 5w30. In general it's not super cold here when it snows so, I think that should work ok. Right?

Here is what Kohler recommends............ Motor Oil

Thank you, that's what I was looking for.

Just remember using multi blends they tend to use oil and smoke. So check regularly.
