4.4. Lubrication System
4.4.1. Oil level check
•
The notches in dipstick must indicate
the oil level between high and low
permissible when the vessel is in the
water and with its normal trim.
•
The oil level should be checked with
the engine horizontal and only after it
has been shut down for about 10
minutes.
•
Examining the viscosity and the
contamination 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 causes excessive
blow-by gas and will result in
damage to the engine.
•
How to re-mark the oil dipstick
Since the inclination angle of marine
engine may vary greatly as vessels,
the high and low oil levels on the
dipstick should be also changed when
the engine inclination angle is over 6
degree.
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.
The capacity of lube oil can be referred to “1.1. Engine Specification”.
