CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
Engine Oil Quality
NOTE:
To achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is important
that you use only engine lubricating oils of the correct type in your engine.
Quality oil also provides maximum efficiency for crankcase ventilation systems,
which reduces pollution.
Engine Oil recommendation
Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic or equivalent synthetic motor oil must be used in the
supercharged marine engine.
Motor oils meeting
ILSAC
(International Lubricant Standardization & Approval
Committee)
GF-5 standards
. The
GM spec
for this oil is
GM 4718M
OR
GM6094M
.
Motor oils meeting this spec receive the API (American Petroleum Institute)
Starburst
and the
Dexos 1
symbols.
Oil Filter
NOTE
:
Ensure the old filter gasket is removed prior to installing the new
filter
The Kodiak
GM Powertrain
engines use an AC Delco (or equivalent) oil filter as original
equipment. An equivalent oil filter must be used when servicing the engine see the
Engine Specification on
page 36
for the recommended oil filter for your engine.
The filter protects your engine from harmful, abrasive, or sludgy particles without
blocking the flow of oil to vital engine parts.
To replace the filter, use a proper filter wrench to remove the filter. Clean the filter-
mounting base and lightly coat the gasket surface of the new filter with engine oil. Hand
tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten another ½ turn. Fill the
engine with the correct amount of oil, run the engine and check for oil leaks at the drain
plug and filter gasket. Tighten as necessary to stop any oil leakage.
