Check the Transmission Oil Level
Check the oil level once every two weeks,
more often if a transmission shifts erratically. It is
unlikely that any oil will need to be added. Be sure to
check under the transmission for leaks! Low
transmission oil is a serious matter. The red arrows
point to the starboard dipstick & fill.
With the engine idling, remove the
transmission dipstick. Wipe it, reinsert it, and
take a reading. If the level is below the add
mark, stop the engine, add a pint of 30-weight oil through the plug in the top of the
transmission case, and then start the engine and measure again. Do not overfill, for
to do so could cause the seals to “blow out”.
The transmission is fitted with an oil cooler. Be sure to service the zincs on the
cooler when the engine’s zincs are serviced.
