4.4.1. Oil level
●
The notches in dipstick must indicate the oil
level between high and low permissible
when the vessel is in the water that is at
normal trim.
●
The oil level should be checked at the hori-
zontal position of the boat after waiting
about 10 minutes since then the engine has
been shut down.
●
Examining the viscosity and the contamina-
tion of the oil smeared at the dipstick
replace the engine oil if necessary.
Caution :
Do not add so much engine oil that
the oil level rises above the maximum
marking on the dipstick. Over filling
will result in damage to the engine like
a excessive blow-by gas.
●
How to re-mark the oil dipstick
Since the inclination angle of marine engine
may differ greatly among vessels, the high
and low oil levels on the dipstick should be
also changed for over 6 degree of the
engine inclination.
Dipstick should be re-marked by engraving
on the lube oil capacity of each engine. Be
sure to check and mark the oil levels
between
High and Low when the vessel is
commissioning at first. Please note that stamping or notching will weaken the dipstick and the tip of the
dipstick may break off in the oil pan.
