Changing engine oil
Always observe the recommended oil change interval.
IMPORTANT! Only use a recommended
grade of oil. Please refer to the “Technical Data”
chapter.
IMPORTANT! The oil level should always be
between the MAX and MIN marks on the dipstick.
Higher or lower oil level than permitted could lead
to engine damage.
1. Start the engine (this makes it easier to suck the
oil up from the sump). Let the engine run till oper-
ation temperature is reached (temperature gauge
indicate a value between 75– 95°C (167-203°F)).
Then stop the engine.
WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can
cause burns.
2. Connect the oil bilge pump to the drain pipe.
Pump up the oil.
3. Change the oil filter and bypass filter at each oil
change (please refer to chapter “Changing oil filter
and bypass filter”).
4. Fill up with new oil through the filling hole on the
top of the engine.
NOTE! Fill 1.5 liters (0.4 US gals) less than the to-
tal oil volume since there always is a small amount
of oil left in the oil pan. Please refer to the “Techni-
cal Data” chapter for oil volume.
5. Start the engine. Check that the oil pressure warn-
ing lamp goes out and that no leakage occurs by
the filters.
WARNING! Working with, or going close to a
running engine is a safety risk.Watch out for rotat-
ing components and hot surfaces.
6. Stop the engine. Wait one hour before checking
the oil level again since the oil needs time to run
down to the oli pan. Top up if necessary.
NOTE! Hand the old oil in to a re-cycling station.
