Does Kohler say to fully insert the dipstick or just to the bottom of the cap? That can make a difference on accurate measurements but that is a huge swing between 1 & 2 quarts.
I put the dipstick all the way in. It is marked with dots for full and low. I know I did it right . It is at the full level now and has been right at that level every time I checked it (every use for the last year). So two changes with same result. Also it is clear that there is no more than 1 quart in my drain pan.
Changed the filter and the filter is very small. No way would it even hold a pint.
When checking your oil I don't think you should screw the dipstick back in, you just place it on top. I'm guessing that is your issue. I often check mine sitting cold and it is well above the full line when I pull the dipstick. If I wipe it off and check by setting it on top it is right on "FULL"
That youtube video is concerning a specific Kohler engine that has a vertically mounted oil filter with a longer than normal stand pipe easily blocked by too short of a filter, but yes I agree.
somehow, not mine. All I will say.
