Mine used about 1 quart of oil in 2 hrs when it went.In addition to no power,I noticed that as soon as you shut down,pull the oil dipstick out and the oil will be steaming from the hot combustion gases if you have a blown gasket.I would love to boycott Kohler,I made a mistake buying there engine,I shouldve known better and Im paying for it.I hope one day the Americans can make the engines as good as the Japs.<p>----------<br>John D<br>
