Oil Change On A Pair Of Marine Caterpillar 3116

I changed the oil in both my diesel Caterpillar 3116 for the first time. I decided to use old gas cans to catch the old oil which made the job easy and clean. The gas jugs also made it easy to transport the old oil to the dumping station.
The boat is equipped with a Reverso oil system.

It wasn't that bad, now that I know how to do it the next time should be a lot smoother.

Nice video!!, I only did this on my lawn mower :)

[@cruisingwildchild370]

Thanks for watching.
The cost of having it done by an outside service is extremely expensive.

[@danaboone5770]

That seems to be quite the job. I'd imagine that it would be expensive to have done.
Good job, very informative video.

[@cruisingwildchild370]

It really isn't that bad and it will only get easier now that I have done it once.

Is there a valve you have to open on the bottom of the engine going to the oil extractor?

[@cruisingwildchild370]

Thank you for watching our video, hopefully you also subscribed to our channel
There is not valve; however, I did remove the filler cap after warming the engines to allow air to enter as the oil is being extracted.

[@jasonkranczoch4776]

What oil did you use and how much oil?

[@cruisingwildchild370]

I used Rotella SAE30 with Cat oil filters

[@jasonkranczoch4776]

How much oil does it take?

[@cruisingwildchild370]

The Cat 3116 takes 6 gallons of oil.

[@jzero0000]

@@cruisingwildchild370so 6 gallons for each engine and that includes the oil filter?

[@cruisingwildchild370]

@jzero0000 that is correct.

[@Harrybollox]

@@cruisingwildchild370 one wonders how 6 gallons fitted into that small gas can.

[@cruisingwildchild370]

@@Harrybollox the can holds 5 gallons.
