Engine oil change
Change the engine oil every 500 hours of operation (together with engine oil filter replacement). If the engine runs less than 500 hours during the year the oil should be changed at least once a year. Run the engine for a few minutes before changing the oil; warm oil can be pumped out more easily.

17 Draining the oil
18 Removing the oil filter
The pump for the oil sump is (normally) located at the heat exchanger side of the engine. As an option for twin engine installation, the pump may be located on the other side at one of the engines.
Unscrew the oil filter, with a commercially available tool, when all the oil has been pumped out. Catch any dripping oil.
Warning! Beware of burns from hot oil.
