A.2. Lubrication
Systems
The engine oil system is a trochoid pump pressure system with a capacity
of 8 U.S. quarts (7.6 liters) of SAE 10W-30, API standard (SG, SH, SJ).
The engine oil dipstick (Figure 3-2, 1) is located under the engine cover on
the starboard side of each engine. The oil filler cap (Figure 3-3, 1) is
located under the engine cover on the forward port side of the engine. The
oil drain plug (Figure 3-2, 9) is located on the starboard side of the engine
behind a small rectangular cover, which is retained in place by a screw. A
spin-on type, disposable oil filter is mounted on the back of the engine
block directly above the engine fuel filter.
The gear case requires 1.24 U.S. quarts (1.17 liter) of SAE 90 outboard
motor gear oil, API standard (GL-4/5). The gear case utilizes a splash-type
lubrication system. A gear oil level plug (Figure 3-3, 8) is located on the
forward port side of the engine directly above the anti-ventilation plate.
The gear oil drain plug (Figure 3-3, 7) is located on the port side of the
horizontal propeller shaft fairing.
A.3. Engine
Cooling System
The engine cooling system consists of an impeller type pump and
thermostat mounted on the engine. Two cooling water intake ports
(Figure 3-2, 6) are located on the port and starboard sides of the lower
outboard fairing directly above the horizontal propeller shaft. A cooling
system indicator (Figure 3-4) on the starboard side of the engine cover
shows that water is circulating through the engine cooling system.
