Default Re: Motor head question.

not an easy answer, but the official view from the outboard manufactures is to drain the oil resevoir and clean the pickup screen each spring, I don't know anyone that does that, although its not a bad idea. It doesn't even get close to freezing around here,( i guess I just jinxed us for this winter) so I haven't seen the results personally. They were just warning us that the oil wil congeel and turn to gel if it gets below freezing. Try an experiment, put some in a jar and throw it in the freezer, see what happens, got me curious myself
