Changing Lubricants and Fluids
See Maintenance Schedules for change interval. Lubricants should be changed before placing boat in storage.
Power Trim or Power Steering fluids do not require changing.
Coolant in closed cooling system should be changed at specified intervals by your Authorized Mercury
MerCruiser Dealer.
CRANKCASE OIL AND FILTER
IMPORTANT: Change crankcase oil when engine is warm from operation. Warm oil flows more freely,
carrying away more impurities. Use only recommended motor oil (refer to Specifications).
1 Start engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2 Stop engine and allow some time for oil to drain into oil pan (approximately 10 minutes).
3 Install crankcase oil pump. Push adapter onto dipstick tube and attach pump.
A Dipstick tube
B Quicksilver Hose / Oil Pump Adapter (Quicksilver P/N 32-863642)
C Quicksilver Crankcase Oil Pump (Quicksilver P/N 802889A1)
4 Pump oil out of crankcase into drain pan. When crankcase is empty, remove pump and adapter. Install oil
dipstick.
CAUTION
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.
