Sapphire 570ss Blower and Pump Oil change

[Kevin B]

I did a video a while back doing 1000 hour service on the 570. I hope it helps someone. The job time in the truck for both is maybe 30-40 minutes, but oil draining of the water pump takes time. It can be extracted also.

Other notable services at 1000 hours/annual
1. Spark Plugs
2. All Belts
3. Checking pulley Bolts
4. Valve Clearance
5. Air filter

Things you need to do this.

1. Large Oil Syringe or oil extraction pump. While not necessary, it sure makes life easy doing the blower.

2. 7/8" open end wrench
3. 15/16" open end wrench
4. 9/16" ...
5. 7/16"...
6. Container that is 1.25 quarts. This will contain enough space for the oil in the pump and blower, but drain between components.

Shouldn't have to take off a hose to remove the cap. Come on sapphire. Looks like the paint is bubbled on the top panel? Nice job on the video. I did one for the belt change on the pump and alternator but did high speed for the whole job. I like yours better.

No paint bubbled. Probably just some dust. The finish on my machines is only subject to how perfect my techs keep them in.

Shouldn't have to get a mirror and a flashlight out to do a fluid check either. Especially on something that is checked daily. I understand why they removed the site glass, but I'm about to put my own in it.

That was very nice of you to produce that. Glad you did since I also have a 570. When is the belt replacement video coming out?

 

[Kevin B]

Waiting for belts to get here. They are all still in good shape but we wont risk it. We swap them out every spring.

Seriously, thanks again
