"shouldn't" sorry
"Mr Wizzard" wrote in message ... "Woodchuck" wrote in message .. . No it should go down. It should go down, or no it should "not" go down ? Book says if you need to add more than 2 Oz, you got a leak. So tomorrow I'll add oil to bring it back up to where it was, but I think that will be over 2 Oz (although not by much). But since it is new I would keep an eye on the level and see where it goes. If it continues to go down then you got a leak. Also the level will change some due to the rise and drop of gear oil temperature. "Mr Wizzard" wrote in message ... Got my new 2005 Bayliner 17.5 Capi out on the BIG lake for the fist time the other night for about 6 hours or so, and I noticied that the little plastic "drive lube oil" resivour was down about 1/2 inch - is this normal ? I checked it just before I went out, and it was a tad bit over the top line of the operating range, now its right between the two lines. So where did this little bit of oil go? Its not much, I know, just wondering if its normal for a brand new boat be using any grear lube oil at all. (i.e., isn't this a closed system?) Or maybe that now since I gave it a good work-out out on the lake, that its just settled, or filled in all of the air pockets/voids in the outdrive? Thanks! |
