Westerbeke Maintenance

[Sloboater]

I have a 12.8 kw Westerbeke (Mini-13) genset. Nowhere, in either the factory supplied info or on the web site, can I find info on maintenance schedule or the amount of oil and filter nomenclature.

Any suggestions?

oil capacity is usually listed in the spec section of the owners manual, viscosity shoudl be in there too.

on a genny that size, i'd guess a little over a gallon... buy two and see what you need to put in... 15-40 works pretty well in most gensets...

My Westerbeke gen set (7.6 KW diesel) requires 3.5 US quarts of API spec CC or CD oil. Oil change every 100 hours -
fuel filters every 250 hours. If I don't meet the service hours I change oil and fuel filters at least seasonally.

Should be around 4.5 quarts.
