CAUTION:
Do
not
allow
two
or
more
brands
of
engine
oil
to
mix.
Each
brand
contains
Its
own
additives;
additives
of
different
brands
could
react
in
the
mixture
to
produce
properties
harmful
to
your
engine.
CHANGING
THE
ENGINE
OIL
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. Ayellow/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, filling into the engine.
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.
REPLACING
THE
OIL
FILTER
When removing the used oil filter, you may find it helpful to
punch a hole in the upper and lower portion
of
the old filter
to
drain the oil into a container before removing it. This helps
to lessen spillage. 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 that's 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 oil filter adapter, gently remove it. When
installing the new oil filter element, wipe the filter gasket's
sealing surface
on
the oil filter adapter free
of
oil and apply a
thin coat
of
clean engine oil to the rubber sealing gasket on
the oil filter.
Screw the filter onto the threaded oil filter stub,
and tighten the filter firmly
by
hand.
NOTE:
Use
genuine WESTERBEKE oil
filters.
Generic jilters
are
not
recommended.
REFILLING
THE
OIL
SUMP
Add fresh oil through the valve cover. After refilling the oil,
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. Fill to,
but
not over, the
FULL
mark on the dipstick.
