V-Drive engine remote oil filter is mounted in the engine compartment
for convenience. The engine manufacturer recommends that you
change the oil and oil filter after the first 10-20 hours use of your new
boat. Thereafter, to maximize engine life, change oil and filter after every
50 hours of use (See Engine Manual).
Crankcase oil should be selected to deliver the highest performance for
your operating conditions and climate. In general, engine oils with lower
viscosity ratings are used when temperatures remain low or when better
fuel economy is desired. Oils with higher viscosity ratings are used when
temperatures remain higher and when higher performance is expected
from the engine.
The Engine Manufacturer recommends Pennzoil 15W-40 Marine Motor
Oil. If this is unavailable, use a 15W-40 motor oil with an A.P.I. classification
rating of SL/SJ/CI4/Ch4/CG4 or equivalent.
REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL for more information.
Engine Oil and Filter
Oil Level Check
Engine oil level should be checked at regular intervals (such
as every 5 engine hours). To obtain a true reading, when the
engine is at operating temperature and turned off, check the
oil level showing on the dipstick.
If the oil level is between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on
the dipstick, simply replace the dipstick. When the oil level is
at or below the “ADD” mark, add oil to return the level to the
“FULL” mark.

Oil Drain
Hose
The 2014 model Assault 345 engines are equipped with an oil/
air separator so residual oil in the crankcase vapors is collected
rather than being sucked back into the engine and burned. The
oil/air separator must be drained periodically to make sure it
does not overflow and spill oil on the engine. Drain the oil from
the separator into a clean container and pour it back into the
engine through the oil fill cap. Check for oil in the separator
weekly under normal use. You may need to check more often
if the boat is used primarily for wake surfing.
