Changing Crankcase Oil and Filter
IMPORTANT: Change oil when engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows more freely, carrying
away more impurities. Use only recommended motor oil (see SPECIFICATIONS).
1 With engine at normal operating temperature, remove dipstick. Install Quicksilver Crankcase Oil Pump onto
dipstick tube.
2 Insert hose end of crankcase oil pump into an appropriate container and using pump handle, pump until
crankcase is empty. Remove crankcase oil pump.
NOTE: Alternately the oil may be drained using the oil drain plug and a suitable container placed under the en-
gine. 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 filter with motor oil. Install new filter. Tighten filter securely. Hand tighten only, do
not use a filter wrench. Do not overtighten.
5 Remove oil filler cap. Add correct type oil (see SPECIFICATIONS) to bring level up to, but not over FULL or
OK mark on dipstick.
IMPORTANT: Always use dipstick to determine exactly how much oil is required.
