ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Whenever two components rub together, friction causes wear
on both components. To minimize the wear on your engine, a
lubrication system has been put in place to help components slide
next to each other easier. is is particularly important within
the inner workings of an engine. It is important to ensure your
lubrication system is working properly at all times.
Your Regal utilizes lubrication and uids that need regular check
ups. ese engine uids are engine oil and power steering uid.
Refer to your engine owner's manual for speci c details regarding
the proper maintenance procedure of your lubrication system. e
pictures displayed in this section may represent a di erent engine
model than the one equipped on your Regal boat. All pictures and
procedures in this section are meant to be used as a guide, and
should not take priority over the proper engine owner's manual.
Engine Oil
e purpose of engine oil is to lubricate the cylinders of the engine
and ensure that parts that regularly move against each other have
reduced friction to reduce wear and noise between components. An
oil lter keeps metal particles and water out of the engine's interior.
Engines performing on regular oil should have the oil drained and
replaced every 100 hours while synthetic oil typically should be
drained and replaced every 200 hours. In either case, if your Regal
boat has endured one year since its last oil change, the oil should be
changed again. e oil lter should be replaced every time the oil
is changed, or upon damage. It is normal for the rst 50 hours of
operation to require frequent changes until the engine is seasoned.
