Oil level appears to be rising. Smells strongly of gasoline. Not cloudy/water. Viscosity seems low for number of hours/weight. Believe that it may be corrupted with gas. 70 hours on the mill and less than 20 on the oil.
How close to level does the boat need to be to read the oil? Where do you measure level from? Haven't checked in the water, just the trailer... imagine that it will have to be floating to know for sure?
Outside of sending the oil out for testing, is there an easy way to tell/confirm that it's been corrupted?
I am changing the oil/filter again this week to make sure that it was done properly (marina did the last change).
... understand that it takes 4 quarts (2013 build 4.3 volvo penta 225 hp)
