CHANGING ENGINE OIL, DRIVE OIL, & FILTERS
Changing engine oil and drive oil requires special tools carried by your
Regal dealer. It is best to contact your Regal dealer for oil changes as
required. When they change the oil, the oil fi lter should be changed as
well. When the oil is changed, the oil sensor on the stern drive must
also be reset.
CHECKING POWER STEERING FLUID
Ensure the engine is off and cold before checking power steering
fl uid. Locate the power steering fl uid reservoir and check that the
fl uid within is its normal color and level. Discolored fl uid may suggest
water infi ltrating the power trim system. This fl uid normally does not
need to be replaced or topped off. Fluid increases may also be a sign
of water in the power trim fl uid, while fl uid loss may be a sign of a
leak. If water presence is discovered, contact your Regal dealer.
