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
J/4NPT.
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 lack
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 the 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 filter as it is removed to make
sure that the rubber sealing 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 not recommended.
REFILL
THE
OIL
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.
