ENGINE

OIL

CHANGE

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

the

old

oil

out.

Make

sure

the

oil

drain

hose

is

properly secured

in

its

holder after

all

of

the

old

oil

has

been

drained.

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

prevent 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 andlor a siphoning

through

the

raw

water

cooling

circuit into

the

exhaust, tilling

into

the

engine.

tilter

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

oil

tilter adapter, gently remove

it.

When

installing

the

new

oil

tilter element,

wipe

the

tilter gasket's

sealing surface

the

oil

tilter adapter

apply

a

thin

coat of clean engine

gasket

on

the

oil

tilter.

Screw

the
