Engine Oil and Filter
The oil filter is located below the engine. The engine manufacturer recommends that you change the oil and oil filter after the first 10- 20 hours use of your new boat. Thereafter, to maximize engine life, change oil and filter after every 50 hours of use (See Engine Manual).
Crankcase oil should be selected to deliver the highest performance for your operating conditions and climate. In general, engine oils with lower viscosity ratings are used when temperatures remain low or when better fuel economy is desired. Oils with higher viscosity ratings are used when temperatures remain higher and when higher performance is expected from the engine.
The Engine Manufacturer recommends Pennzoil
Motor Oil. If this is unavailable, use a
A.P.I. classification rating of SL/SJ/CI4/Ch4/CG4 or equivalent.
REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL for more information.

Oil Level Check
Engine oil level should be checked at regular intervals (such as every 5 engine hours). To obtain a true reading, when the engine is at operating temperature and turned off, check the oil level showing on the dipstick.
If the oil level is between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on the dipstick, simply replace the dipstick. When the oil level is at or below the “ADD” mark, add oil to return the level to the “FULL” mark.
