1.
Draining the oil sump. Discharge the used oil through
the sump drain hose (attached
to
the front
of
the engine)
while the engine is warm. Drain the used oil completely,
replace the hose in its bracket and replace the end cap
securely.
NOTE:

Always observe the used 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 prevent serious damage. Call a
qualified mechanic should water be 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 cooling
circuit into the exhaust, filling the engine. This problem is
often caused by the absence
of
an anti-siphon valve, its
poor location
or
lack
of
maintenance.
2.
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. A small automotive filter wrench
should be helpful in removing the old oil filter.
NOTE:
Do
not
punch
this
hole
without
first
loosening
the
filter
to
make
certain
it
can
be
removed.
Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the
filter when unscrewing it to catch any oil left in the filter.
(Oil or any other fluid on the engine reduces the engine's
cooling ability. Keep your engine clean.) Inspect the old
oil filter
as
it is removed to make sure that the rubber
sealing gasket comes off with the old filter.
If
this rubber
sealing gasket remains sealed against the filter bracket,
gently remove it.
When installing the new oil filter element, wipe the filter
gasket's sealing surface on the bracket 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 nipple on the oil filter bracket, and tighten the filter
firmly by hand.
NOTE:
The
engine
oil
is
cooled
by
engine
coolant

through
passages

OIL
FILL
NOTE:
Generic filters
are
not
recommended,
as
the
material standards or diameters
of
important
items
on
generic parts might
be
entirely different from genuine
parts. Immediately after
an
oil filter change and oil
fill,
run
the
engine
to
make sure
the
oil pressure
is
normal
and that
there
are
no oil leaks around
the
new
oil
filter.
3. Filling the Oil Sump. Add new oil through the oil filler
cap
on
the top
of
the engine.
Mter
refilling, run the
engine for a few moments while checking the oil
pressure. Make sure there is no leakage around the new
oil filter or from the oil drain system, and stop the engine.
Then check the quantity
of
oil with the lube oil dipstick.
Fill to, but not over the high mark
on
the dipstick, should
the engine require additional oil.
A
WARNING:
Used
engine
oil
contains
harmful
contaminants.
Avoid
prolonged
skin
contact.
Clean
skin
and
nails
thoroughly
using
soap
and
water.
Launder
or
discard
clothing
or
rags
containing
used
oil.
Discard
used
oil
properly.
