ENGINE
OIL
CHANGE
DRAIN
THE
SUMP
The engine oil should be warm. Remove the oil drain hose
from
its
attachment bracket and lower
it
into a container and
allow the oil
to drain, or attach a
pump
to the end
of
the drain
hose and pump out the old oil.
Make
sure the oil drain hose
is
capped and properly secured
in
its holder after all the old
oil has been drained.
NOTE:
Thread size
for
the lube oil drain hose capped end is
114
NPT
Always observe the old oil as
it
is
removed. A yellow/gray
emulsion indicates the presence
of
water
in
the oil. Although
this condition is rare,
it
does require prompt attention to pre-
vent serious damage. Call a competent mechanic
if water
is
present in the oiL Raw water present
in
the oil can be the
result
of
a fault in the exhaust system attached to the engine
and/or a siphoning
of
raw water through the raw water cool-
ing circuit into the exhaust,
filling the engine. This problem
is
often caused by the poor location
or
the !ack
of
an anti-
siphon valve. See UNIVERSAL'S Installation Manual.
Replacing
the
Oil
Filter
When removing the used oil filter, you may find
it
helpful
and cleaner
to
punch a hole
in
the upper and lower portion
of
the old filter to drain the oil from
it
into a container before
removing
it.
This helps
to
lessen spillage.
NOTE:
Do
not punch this hole without first loosening
[he
filter
to
make
certain it will come off!
An automotive filter wrench should be helpful in removing
the old oil filter.
Place some paper towels and a plastic
bag
around the filter when unscrewing
it
to catch any oil left
in
the filter. Inspect the old oil tilter as
it
is
removed to make
sure that the ruhber scaling gasket comes
off
with the old oil
filter.
If
this rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the
engine
block, gently remove
it.
When installing the new oil
filter element, wipe the filter gasket's sealing surface on the
engine block free
of
oil and apply a thin coat
of
clean engine
oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter.
Screw the filter
onto the threaded
oil filter stub, and tighten the filter firmly
by hand.
NOTE:
Use genuine UNIVERSAL oil filters - generic filters
are nol recommended.
REFILL
THE
DlL
SUMP
Add fresh oil through the filler cap. After refilling, run the
engine for a few moments while checking the engine's oil
pressure. Make sure there
is
no leakage around the new oil
filter
or
from the oil drain system, and then stop the engine.
Then check the quantity
of
oil with the lube oil dipstick. If
