Also, if I may add, best practice is fill the new filter 1/2 full of the new oil so the oil pump doesn't suck air and dry run. Let sit for a few miniutes before installing, which will saturate the filter material. Awesome channel folks. 👍
Always check the old oil filter after you pull it off to make sure the seal came off also. I’ve had the old seal stay stuck to the block (I didn’t notice) and I screwed the new on top of it, filled it up with oil and start it. Oil came out flying everywhere! Opps!
While the filter is on the engine still. Put a plastic bag around it. This way the oil should mostly go in the bag.....Little kitchen paper just below to catch the drips :-) Keep a diary of Maintainance......feel free to use a permanent marker to write the date you changed it on the filter it's self. We usually keep spares of the engine service parts and spark plugs on the boat. Each change we will buy another set of filters and so on. The main thing you got to watch out for is the diesel fuel, 80% of engine problems come from the fuel so feel free to "upgrade" the pre fuel filter off the engine. You can also give the fuel a "polish" you basically make a small device using a filter and cycle it around your fuel tank. This way will get the water and the big bits out. Patrick Laine did a video on it.
Well done, just small notice if you keep the engine cap open while vacuuming the oil, will be helpful, and some people by nature like to do challenge ( even if it called stubed things ) 😁, nice episode
Awesome,your snarky side came out in this one.perfect. I love hearing you speak your native languages.have you thought about doing a remote oil filter?yeah,never use a wrench to put a filter. I’m not going to say anything about your little arms😃.take care of yourselves.⛵️🦆
Tip 1: Remove the filler cap to let air in, as you pump the oil out. Tip 2 : Make sure you get the longer oil filter. They upped the capacity ... Tip 3: WEAR gloves ... contaminated oil can be carcinogenic.
Oh yeah. That would be something 😍 maybe they’ll get cheaper in the coming years ;) id change! Especially because of the noise though ! Imagine that. No more engine noise .. a dream!
Your MD2030 volvo penta is really a perkins M30 .Volvo had Perkins make the 2010.2020 , 2030, 2040 for them Parts are cheap from parts4engines .com in England half the price of ripoff Volvo
They are smarter than me and approach this job way more efficiently and safely, it wouldn’t do justice ;) But in all honesty, if you’re a sailor girl, join the Facebook group „women who sail“. It’s such a different and helpful vibe compared to other know-it-all sailing groups

Very well done captain and first mate, you re a good team, we admire your job !
🌹 practice makes team work perfect right !
I learned a tip from Chris fixx , when filling oil , turn your container sideways so it is flat. It will pour smoother.
awesome. It's the little things :)
Great job on the video👍🏻

Team work makes the dream work. Good job on the oil change. Hope you've bought a filter wrench by now.....
haha, yeah we have one now.. what was I thinking..
Done like a true mechanic.... some would say without a manual 👍🙂 but you did... just forgot the tool(s). Hey you did a good job.
Thanks 👍
Very straight forward job, nice. I will do this job soon I get back to Trouble Maker! 🇧🇷⛵
the longer you don't have to do it, the more fun it is once you have to do it (again) 🙃

see the little things 😃
Good job! We need to do ours, it is way overdue... I love the new logo intro! :)
Thanks Dean! Alex spend a lot of time on it :) I think it shows!
You should have drained from the oil drain pipe located right side of the oil filter.
Great video!
Loved it thanks guys!!!!
ThxU for the informative and helpful video, Greasemonkey!
ANOTHER FAB VID

awesome tips, thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍
Rube Goldberg would be proud. Electric motors don't need oil change.

that is one of the most important comments on this channel. thanks chris
@@seethelittlethings your welcome I have a beneteau 352 basically same boat. Cheers from Canada
Change the oil every 100 hours?
You got all your shares in an oil major???? Streawth!!!!!!!
we buy it crude by the barrel
Alex say's "we boat people are smart" He proved that true by having shots of Mandy in the vid : )
I can't do an oil change without her 💕
*ahem* what about the sea women? ⛵️
true! next time I will do the oil change and then it will be an oil change for sea women 💪 . I just wanted to give Alex the stage on this one ;)
