ENGINE BREAK-IN: ALL MODELS

Propulsion systems require a pre-determined “break in”

period. During this time the engine should not be run at

a full load condition for extended periods. Various en-

gine load and speed conditions assist the internal engine

parts such as bearings, valves and piston rings to “seat”

properly which will help ensure a longer engine life. See

operator’s manual for further information.

During the “break in” period it is necessary to check the

engine oil more frequently since it is normal that the en-

gine will use more oil. If engine oil is required be sure to

check the engine manual for proper grade and viscosity.

Check the maintenance schedule in your engine owner’s

manual and contact your Regal dealer to set up the ﬁ rst

maintenance inspection. Normally the engine oil, ﬁ lters,

and drive oil inspections and maintenance are performed

during this inspection along with other items. Never ex-

ceed the recommended period between oil changes es-

pecially with diesel power since sulfur tends to enter the

lubrication system through the fuel combustion process

over a period of time.

OIL CHANGES (ENGINE & DRIVE)

Be sure to read the owner’s manual regarding engine oil

change recommendations.Be sure to follow the manufac-

turers recommended oil type and viscosity. The engine oil

change is an important factor in obtaining engine longev-

ity since impurities enter the crankcase through the com-

bustion process and build up in the engine oil.

Be sure to check the drive oil on a periodic basis and

change it according to the recommended schedule using

the speciﬁ ed type per the engine owner’s manual.
