Oil change day.
Actually it was “Oil change 3 days” by the time I got all the funnels,
used jugs, filters, pumps and new oil all set up. Remember, this is a Honey-Do list item and
can’t rush into it. Starting off with the Ford Lehman book, among other things, it gave as the every-200
hours maintenance list to change engine
oil, transmission oil and the raw water intake pump impeller.
Changing out the engine oil is not so bad, but the one
thing that one has to remember is to have the capacity to hold 19 quarts of
used engine oil, and that means 5 empty 4 quart containers. Plan ahead.
Of course, I was 1 short. Fellas
here at the marina said to just dump it in a bucket behind the ice
machine. Well, ok, but where will it
go? “No worry mon. We take care of it”. I wondered whose yard it was going to end up
in. Adding new oil freed up new
containers, so that problem is solved. One
days’ worth of work accomplished.
