1. Maintain the oil level between the “ADD” mark (Y)
and the “FULL” mark (X) on the oil level gauge.
Do not fill the crankcase above “FULL” mark (X).
NOTICE
Operating your engine when the oil level is above the
“FULL” mark could cause your crankshaft to dip into
the oil. The air bubbles created from the crankshaft
dipping into the oil reduces the oil’s lubricating char-
acteristics and could result in the loss of power.
2. Remove oil filler cap and add oil, if necessary.
Clean the oil filler cap. Reinstall the oil filler cap.

Engine Oil Level Gauge -
Calibrate
SMCS Code: 1326-524
The engine is shipped with an engine oil level gauge
that is not marked. The engine oil level gauge is not
marked because the angle of installation can be
different for each engine. The angle of installation
will affect the “ADD” mark (Y) and the “FULL” mark
(X) that is engraved on the engine oil level gauge.
The engine oil level gauge must be calibrated after
the engine is installed in the vessel. Table 36 and
Table 37 list the corresponding “ADD” mark, “FULL”
mark and the angle of installation. Use a marking
pen in order to engrave “ADD” mark (Y) and “FULL”
mark (X) on the engine oil level gauge according to
the information in Table 36 or Table 37.
