    I have a defective engine mount oil tank on a 2012 pro xs 175. I know how to bleed the air from the tank but do I need to do anything with the oil lines?

    What do you mean " No bubble in line to pump"? How do I fill the tank? It is small and the bleed screw does not remove to fill.

    Your engine is a 2.5L, next forum down covers them.

    Oil Pump Prime is strongly recommended as there is a potential of air in the oil line between the tank and the pump. Any air here can have SERIOUS consequences for the engine.
