Tiger Cat oil change

jekjr said:
As I stated above we change oil in two Tiger Cats frequently. IF you will take a 20 oz bottle and cut it off to about 2" or how ever short it needs to be to slip under the lip that sticks out under the filter, then loosen the filter and allow it to drain, then remover the filter, you can then wipe the small amount off the lip with a towel. Then remover the cut off bottle with the oil in it.

IF you do that you will not have a mess to clean up.

Is that procedure only good for the Kawasaki motors? Do the Kohler motors have the same metal "lip" under the filter?

Just asking...

Actually not sure about Kohler but I would imagine there is a similar work around if it is not.
 
As usual I couldn't locate my "pan" cut from a bottle and didn't have anything handy to whip one up so I just carefully folded a couple or three paper towels up carefully into a 4"x 6" pad and slipped it under the filter. After draining the engine I removed the filter and installed the new one. Removed the pad of oily paper towels and carried it in cupped hands quickly to a nearby trash can. No mess.

I like Jekr's plastic pan from a water bottle better and hope to plan ahead next time around.

Does your Tiger cat have the Kawasaki motor with the "lip" or are you running a Kohler engine?
