via the crankcase ventilation.

When adding oil, no oil may get
onto hot engine parts - fire

The properties of VW Marine Longlife oil not
only worsen due to loading during operation,
but also due to ageing. The oil change
date is therefore dependent on both the
mileage and the running time.
If the engine is constantly operated under
extreme operating conditions, the motor oil
should be changed at shorter intervals.
The motor oil must be changed at the intervals
specified on page 35 and 37. Hve the oil
change by a VW Marine Service Partner.
Important
If you want to change the motor
oil yourself, then please be sure
to observe the following points:
● To prevent the danger of burns
from hot motor oil, allow the
engine to cool first.
● Use a suitable container of a
sufficient size to hold the oil
filling quantity of your engine
when draining the oil.
● Wear eye protection.
● If your hands come into
contact with motor oil, they must
then be washed throughly.
● Used oil must be stored in a
safe place away from children
until its proper disposal.
