"Just purchased a 26' Sabr
"Just purchased a 26' Sabrecraft powered by a 318. I have had it out for several weekends putting about 7-8 hours on the hobbs. Love being back on the water! (prior commercial fisherman).
I want to know more about the 318 engine. Read may of the posts here, you guys are great!
I want to change the oil but am having doubts about the amount. I think the engine is a marine-ized 318, fresh water cool system added at engine overhaul according to receipts.
What is the amount of oil that is required? I ask as I have doubts about the stick accuracy and due to incline of engine want to check this. I am told that it takes 5 quarts but seem to remember a prior post mentioning 6 qts.
Also what oil grade should be used in a marine 318? It currently has 30 grade."
