Checking Engine Oil Level/Filling
IMPORTANT: ENGINE CRANKCASE OIL MUST BE CHECKED AT INTERVALS
SPECIFIED IN “MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE” CHART. It is normal for an engine to use
a certain amount of oil in the process of lubrication and cooling of the engine. The
amount of oil consumption is greatly dependent upon engine speed, with
consumption being highest at wide-open-throttle and decreasing substantially as
engine speed is reduced.
1. Stop engine and allow boat to come to a rest.
2. Allow oil to drain back into oil pan - approximately 5 minutes.
3. Remove dipstick. Wipe clean and reinstall. Push dipstick all the way into dipstick tube.
4. Remove dipstick and note the oil level.
5. Oil level must be between the FULL and ADD marks.
6. If oil level is below ADD mark, proceed to Steps 7 and 8.
7. Remove oil filler cap from valve rocker arm cover.
8. Add required amount of oil to bring level up to, but not over, the FULL mark on dipstick.
