Note: Place a container beneath the filter when
removing to avoid spillage.
1. Unscrew the oil filter (1) or by-pass filter
(2) using special tool, discard the old filters.
WARNING! Hot oil can cause burns.
2. Lightly oil the new filter’s rubber gasket and
check its mating surface on the mounting.
3. Screw on the new filter by hand until the gas-
ket is in contact with the sealing surface.
Then tighten the filter a further 3/4 turn (ap-
prox.).
4. Fill with oil, start the engine and check for
leaks. Stop engine and check the oil level.

8.3 Oil cooler
See the description in “Cooling system” chap. 10.4 for information on the oil coolers.
8.4 Oil filter
The oil filter filters contaminants from the oil. The
engine oil filter is of full flow type, which means
that all the oil is filtered before it enters the lubri-
cation system. The filter element is made of fold-
ed filter paper.
The filter is at the front of the engine.
In all marine propulsion engines, the filter may
alternatively (as an accessory) be located at the
back of the engine’s, left side.
*Note! In the TAMD71 classifiable auxiliary en-
gine, the filter is located in front of the starter
motor on the right of the engine.
8.5 Maintenance – Lubrication System
8.5.1 Oil Change – Engine
The oil should be changed when the engine is hot.
WARNING! Hot oil can cause burns.
Engines with oil scavenging pump (accessory): Remove the oil dipstick and connect the suction pipe
to the dipstick tube. Start the pump and collect the oil in a container.
Alternatively, the oil can be drained after removing the oil sump drain plug.
Fill oil through the filler on the front valve. For oil quality, see chap. 4.2. For viscosity and capacities,
see “Technical Data” in chap. 13.2.
The oil level should be within the marked area on the dipstick. The level must never be allowed to
drop beneath the lower mark.
