Engine oil. Change
Always observe the recommended oil change interval.
IMPORTANT! Only use the recommended grade
of oil.
WARNING! Working with, or going close to a
running engine is a safety risk. Watch out for
rotating components and hot surfaces.
WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause
burns.
1. Warm up the engine (this makes it easier to suck
the oil up from the sump). Let the engine run till op-
eration temperature is reached (temperature gauge
indicate a value between 75 – 100°C (167-212°F)).
2. Stop the engine. Wait ten minutes before draining
the oil.
3. Connect the oil bilge pump to the drain pipe and
pump the oil up.
4. Change the oil filter at each oil change, please re-
fer to "Oil filter. Changing" in this chapter .
5. Fill up with oil to the correct level through the valve
cover cap. Please refer to "Technical Data" for oil
volume.
6. Start the engine. Let the engine run till operation
temperature is reached (temperature gauge indi-
cate a value between 75 – 100°C (167-212°F).
Check that the low oil pressure warning lamp goes out.
Check that no leakage occurs by the filter.
IMPORTANT! The oil level check must be
done on a warm engine. If the oil is cold it will
take very long time for the oil to flow back
into the oil sump.
7. Stop the engine. Wait ten minutes, then check the
oil level. Top up if necessary.
NOTE! Hand the old oil in to a recycling station.
