ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM
Whenever two components rub together, friction causes wear on both
components. To minimize the wear on your engine, a lubrication
system has been put in place to help components slide next to each
other easier. This is particularly important within the inner workings
of an engine. It is important to ensure your lubrication system is
working properly at all times.
Your Regal utilizes lubrication and fl uids that need regular check ups.
These engine fl uids are engine oil and power steering fl uid. Refer to
your engine owner’s manual for specifi c details regarding the proper
maintenance procedure of your lubrication system. The pictures
displayed in this section may represent a different engine model than
the one equipped on your Regal boat. All pictures and procedures
in this section are meant to be used as a guide, and should not take
priority over the proper engine owner’s manual.
Engine Oil
The purpose of engine oil is to lubricate the cylinders of the engine
and ensure that parts that regularly move against each other have
reduced friction to reduce wear and noise between components. An
oil fi lter keeps metal particles and water out of the engine’s interior.
Engines performing on regular oil should have the oil drained and
replaced every 100 hours while synthetic oil typically should be drained
and replaced every 200 hours. In either case, if your Regal boat has
endured one year since its last oil change, the oil should be changed
again. The oil fi lter should be replaced every time the oil is changed,
or upon damage. It is normal for the fi rst 50 hours of operation to
require frequent changes until the engine is seasoned.
