OIL SPECIFICATIONS

Refer to your Westerbeke Operator’s Manual for the oil

specifications for your engine/generator.

OIL DRAIN HOSE

An oil sump drain hose is located at the front or side of the

engine. Oil may be drained from this hose by removing the

cap and the discharge end of the hose from its mounting

bracket and lowering the hose into a container. The hose cap

fitting is 1/4 NPT and it can be extended, or have a pump

added, for easier removal of the old oil.

When installing the engine make certain that this drain hose

is accessible and that the drain hose fitting at the bottom of

the engine oil pan is well clear of the boat’s oil pan.

OIL DIPSTICK

If the engine is going to be mounted at an angle (instead of

level), it’s a good idea to add the proper amount of lube oil to

the engine and check the dipstick before installation, with the

engine level. After installation, check the dipstick to see

where the oil now rests, and mark the dipstick at this point

for future reference.

PRESSURE SENSING DEVICES

Oil pressure sensing devices, such as senders and switches,

must not be connected to an engine’s oil sump with the use

of extended nipples or tees. The reason is simply that

continued engine vibration causes fatigue of the fittings used

to make such a connection. If these fittings fail during engine

operation, lubricating oil will be lost and internal engine

damage will result.

NOTE: Oil filter assemblies vary with each engine model,

switches, senders,coolers, etc. are shown in detail in all

Operators Manuals.

When additional sensing devices such as switches or sensors

need to be installed that function on engine oil pressure, these

devices must be bulkhead-mounted and connected to the oil

sump using an appropriate grade of lubricating oil hose. Any

fittings used to connect the hose to the gallery must be of

steel or malleable iron composition. Brass must not be used

for this application.

RELOCATING ENGINE PARTS

Any reassembly or relocation of engine parts such as fuel

filters, dipstick senders and switches to accommodate a

restricted engine space must be authorized by the

WESTERBEKE Corporation and the work must be

performed by a WESTERBEKE approved mechanic or the

engine’s warranty will be void. The oil filter can be relocated

to a convenient bulkhead location by using a

WESTERBEKE Remote Oil Filter kit.
