Changing the Oil Filter

Discharge of oil, coolant, or other engine/drive fluids into the environment is restricted by law. Use caution not to spill oil,
coolant, or other fluids into the environment when using or servicing your boat. Be aware of the local restrictions governing
the disposal or recycling of waste, and contain and dispose of fluids as required.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for the change interval. You should change the engine oil before placing the boat in
storage.
IMPORTANT: Change the engine oil when the engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows more freely, carrying away more
impurities. Use only recommended engine oil. Refer to Specifications.
1. Remove the top engine cover.
2. Remove the cover of the oil filter so that the return valve opens, allowing the oil to return to the oil sump.
3. Separate the oil filter element from the oil filter cover.
4. Clean the cover with a clean cloth.
5. Replace the sealing O‑rings.
