I believe the manual calls for 10 weight oil when the temps dip below 32.

Straight 10 weight????
You need to spend a little time reading a Kohler service manual. Page 1.4 talks about what oil to use for what temp.
While you are reading your Kohler service manual read page 1.5. It deals what fuel you can run in your Kohler engine. The manual says it is ok to run gas with 10% or less ethanol.
I've ran some of what you call "real gas". My 149 didn't not have get up and go like it did on E10 gas plus I had to pay more. Talk to station manager and he says the bulk tank for the non ethanol gas doesn't get fill as often as the ethanol gas gets filled. Small engines need fresh gas.
I've been running E10 gas with no fuel related issue(s) for 15 plus years. Biggest problem I see is cause by poor fuel storage-handling habits.
