To bleed a mercury oil tank, locate the bleed screw on the side of the tank and open it. Place a pan under the tank to catch any oil that may drip out. Slowly turn the screw until you see oil coming out of the tank.
When a steady stream of oil is flowing, close the bleed screw and check for leaks.
- First, find the bleed screw on the side of the oil tank
- Use a wrench to loosen the bleed screw and allow any air bubbles to escape from the tank
- Once the air bubbles have been released, tighten the bleed screw and check the level of oil in the tank
- If necessary, add more oil to the tank until it reaches the full line

How Does Mercury Optimax Oil System Work?
Mercury’s OptiMax oil system is designed to work with the company’s outboard motors. The system uses a special oil that is different from traditional motor oils. This oil is designed to burn cleaner and more efficiently than other oils, which can help extend the life of your engine and improve its performance.
The OptiMax system also includes a filter that helps remove impurities from the oil before it reaches the engine.
