  • How to change your boats oil. Simple and easy steps to follow. This works on Almost all Inboard Motors. I have a Mercruiser 4.3 in this video. This will work on a Mercruiser, Volvo, OMC, GM or just about any inboard. Although, the weight of the oil, amount of oil and filter could vary.

    Thanks for the tips, beats spending 250.00+ @ a shop and waiting a week to get my boat back! 🙏🏼

    NICE, Ive done mine recently. I used a 12v oil pump from Amazon. Oil comes right up n out. I used a filter wrench with 15 flute for filter worked great also. Lefty loosy or turn wrench towards engine with strong slow turn to loosen.🤙🏽👍🏼✌🏽

    So you are leaving decades of oil sludge in the oil pan? Dont you have a drain hose on the pan drain? Tighten the oil filter 3/4 turn beyond contact.

    Just picked up a 2014 Bayliner 185 with the 4.3 Mercury. I'm glad I found your videos, already can tell they're going to help me out quite a bit. I'm very mechanically inclined but it's the fort time I own a boat so need to learn my way around this engine and maintenance etc..

    I only put 30 hours each year and had my last oil change last year. I checked today and oil is pretty clean. Should I change it or just do what mercury says, change it every 300 hours or 3 years.

  • @thomasjudd7845
    @thomasjudd7845 Před rokem

    When I used to do oil changes on my cars, after I drained the oil I poured 1 can in and let it drain all the way through. Also, fill the oil filter with new oil then replace, carefully. I seen a youtube on using a plastic disposable cup, big enough to hold the filter, finish unscrewing the filter into the caup and it will catch the dripping oil, too. Just saying.

  • @lowefurherb943

    Hi Chris, My filter is super stuck. How do you recommend removing it? I have tried regular oil filter removal tool and one that tightens with a ratchet.

    • @Detrochaentrocha

      Mine was like that, just use a screwdriver to perforate the oil filter and try to rotate it
