Diesel engine oil changes hours

The typical interval is every 100 hours, but this varies from as few as 50 to as many as 200 hours (small engines like my 1.6 Liter Yanmar take only a small quantity of oil, and need more frequent oil changes, in this case, every 50 hours).

 

Let us know which engine your boat has.

 

Have a Volvo Penta and do it right and you don't have to change the oil for 1,000 hours.

How often you have to change the oil of a Diesel engine depends on if it's a hot climate, if you drive long distances or city traffic.

 

  I change mine with a filter every 5,000 km, and I already have more than 300,000 km on the clock.


The engine, Mitsu L 200 still runs like a Swiss clockwork. 

 

  Once the color turns black, it's time for a change.
