Cool. I do have a tendency of teeing off on random things from time to time......

Yeah, if I was still between my warranty goal posts, sure. Might even be something in the fine print about it requiring certified lub/filter, etc. They'll wiggle out of stuff any way they can. I bought mine used and 2-3 years out of warranty so that wasn't really a concern for me.

Pulled the oil pan plug and  let the oil drain and she's sitting sans oil right now until my filter comes in. New oil is sitting in the boat on the captain's chair...so there's no way I'd drive her to the lake and start a dry motor by accident. Figure that should make putting the new filter on a very un-messy job this time, with several days of draining time.

Related question....is the oil drain plug sposed to have a nylon bushing on it? This doesn't. Only the second time changing it myself, don't remember it being there last time. Pretty much a dead stop metal-to-metal contact when you bottom out the drain plug bolt against the pan. Should there be some sort of a gasket or a bushing to 'squish' and give you a little bit of sponge? Kinda paranoid now about that bolt rattling loose.
