The Aegis liquid-cooled engine from Kohler Engines has many unique features and benefits.

End users can expect a substantial increase in overall engine life and reliability from an advanced, parallel-flow liquid cooling system that delivers superior engine cooling through a patented low profile heat exchanger. With this state-of-the-art radiator, Kohler Aegis engines run cool by keeping oil temperatures low and running temperatures consistent. The result -- oil life is significantly extended and internal engine wear is reduced.

With its integrated and compact design, Kohler Aegis engines can easily fit into unique OEM applications. Also, the footprint for Kohler Aegis is interchangeable with that of Kohler's Command vertical twins to further assist OEMs in fitting the new engine within existing applications. Contributing to optimum power and torque, Kohler Aegis engines are designed with greater displacements than competitive liquid-cooled models at each horsepower, meaning that Kohler Aegis engines make easy work of long and rigorous commercial turf and landscaping applications.

Kohler Aegis engines are user friendly with top access to the liquid-cooling and air filtration systems to inspect and perform routine maintenance or service. To locate both systems, the user only needs to unlatch four rubber fastening straps and remove the engine's blower housing. Additionally, Kohler Aegis engines utilize heavy-duty debris screens to prevent severe damage to the radiator, like punctures from rocks and dirt. This screen, too, can be easily removed to inspect and clean the area beneath it.

Another Kohler Aegis breakthrough is the dual-element air filter that has been designed to provide maximum filtering -- 250 percent more surface area than competitive air cleaners -- resulting in extended maintenance intervals.
