ENGINE OIL
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
1. Draining the
Oil
Sump. Discharge the used oil through
the sump drain hose (attached to the front of the engine)
while the engine
is
wann.
Drain
the used oil completely,
replace the hose in its bracket, and replace the end cap
securely.
NOTE:
Thread size for the lube oil drain hose capped
end
is 114 NPT.
Always observe the used oil as it is removed. A
yellow/gray emulsion indicates the presence of water in
the oil. Although this condition is rare, it does require
prompt attention to prevent serious damage. Call a
qualified mechanic should water be present in the oil.
Raw water present in the oil can be the result of a fault
in the exhaust system attached to the engine and/or a
siphoning of raw water through the raw water cooling
circuit into the exhaust, filling the engine. This problem
is often caused by the lack of, an anti-siphon valve, its
incorrect location or lack of maintenance.

2. Replacing the Oil Filter. When removing the used oil
filter, you may find it helpful and cleaner to punch a hole
in the upper and lower portion of the old filter to drain
the oil from it into a container before removing it. This
helps to lessen spillage. A small automotive filter wrench
should be helpful in removing the old oil filter.
NOTE:
Do not punch this hole without first loosening the
filter to make certain it can be removed
Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the
filter when unscrewing it to catch any oil left in the filter.
(Oil or any other fluid on the engine reduces the engine's
cooling ability. Keep your engine clean.) Inspect the old
oil filter as it is removed to make sure that the rubber
sealing gasket comes off with the old oil filter. If this
rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the filter
bracket, gently remove it.
When installing the new oil filter element, wipe the filter
gasket's sealing surface on the bracket free of oil and
apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the rubber gasket
on the new oil filter. Screw the filter onto the threaded oil
filter njpple on the oil filter bracket, and then tighten the
filter fumly by hand.

NOTE:
Generic filters are not recommended, as the
material standaTrls or diameters of important items on
generic parts might be entirely different from genuine
parts. Immediately after an oil filter change
and
oil .fill,
run the engine to make sure the oil pressure
is
normal
and
that there are no oil leaks around the new oil .filter.
3. Filling the
Oil
Sump. After refilling, run the engine for a
few moments while checking the oil pressure.
Make
sure
there is no leakage around the new oil filter or from the
oil drain system, and stop the engine. Then check the
quantity of oil with the lube oil dipstick. Fill to, but not
over the high mark on the dipstick, should the engine
require additional oil.
A
CAUTION:
Used
engine oil contains hannful
contaminates. Avoid prolonged skin contact Clean
skin and naHs thoroughly using soap and
water.
Launder or discard clothing or rags containing used oil.
