Changing Oils and Oil Filters

As marine engines differ largely based on the model and manufacturer, it is a good idea to start with consulting the recommendations to identify the service intervals.

If your marine engine doesn’t have a gear filter, it may have a screen element that needs to be cleaned every now and then. Be sure to clean it when changing the gear oil.

It is a good idea to change the oil every 250 hours of usage. Some professionals advise changing the oil at least once a year, but it largely depends on the nature of usage.

Inspecting and Changing The Fuel Filters

The secondary and primary fuel filters should always be changed at the same time.

If you don’t change the fuel filters when needed, it might lead to premature aging of the engine and also other signs of damage like smoking.
