Lubricant
The quality of engine oil may affect engine performance, start-ability and engine life.
The use of unsuitable oil may result in piston ring stick, piston and cylinder seizure,
and accelerate sliding surface wear causing increased oil consumption, lowered
output and possible engine failure.
To avoid this, use the specified engine
oil.
Engine Oil Selection
Engines Plus Ltd recommends oil to the following specifications…
API CC or CD specification is used in Canaline 38, 42, 52 & 60 Marine engines.

Either 10W/40 or 10W/30 is acceptable for temperate climates.
Do NOT use Synthetic or Semi-Synthetic Oils in Canaline Marine engines.
