Changing the oil
WARNING!
Hot oil can cause burns and skin irritation. Wear
protective gloves and eye protection when
changing hot oil. Make sure that there is no pres-
sure in the lubrication system before changing
the oil. The oil filler cap must always be in place
when starting and running the engine to prevent
oil being ejected.
Note:
Change oil more often if the engine is subjected
to particularly demanding operation, such as a
dusty environment, or if deposits in the centrifu-
gal oil cleaner are thicker than 28 mm (1.1 in).
Renew the oil filter and clean the centrifugal oil
cleaner when changing oil.
Environment
Use a suitable container. Used oil must be dis-
posed of as specified in national and internation-
al laws and regulations.
1. Unscrew the oil plug and drain the oil when
the engine is hot. In certain engine types the
oil is pumped out by means of a bilge pump.
If the engine is drained via the valve, the oil
should be hot. Alternatively, use a pump.
This is so that draining occurs more quickly.
2. Wipe off the magnet on the oil plug.
3. Renew the gasket on the oil plug.
4. Refit the oil plug.
5. Fill with the amount of oil specified for the
oil sump.
6. Wait at least seven minutes.
7. Check the level on the oil dipstick.
