ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD! Discharge of oil or oil waste into the environment is restricted by law. Do
not spill oil or oil waste into the environment when using or servicing your boat. Contain and dispose
of oil or oil waste as defined by local authorities.

carrying away more impurities. Use only recommended engine oil (refer to Specifications).

dipstick tube.
2 Insert hose end of crankcase oil pump into an appropriate container and using handle, pump until crankcase
is empty. Remove crankcase oil pump.
NOTE: Alternately the crankcase oil may be drained using the oil pan drain plug and a suitable container placed
under the engine. Tighten the oil pan drain plug securely upon installation.
3 Remove and discard old oil filter and old sealing ring.
4 Coat sealing ring on new oil filter with new engine oil. Install new oil filter. Tighten oil filter securely. Hand

5 Remove oil filter cap. Add recommended engine oil to bring level up to, but not over FULL or OK RANGE
mark on dipstick. Refer to Specifications.
IMPORTANT: Always use dipstick to determine exactly how much oil is required.
