Engine Oil and Filter

Replace the oil filter at every oil change.
See Maintenance Schedule for the change interval. Engine oil should be changed before placing the boat in storage.
IMPORTANT: Change 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 the Specifications section).
