Can any one please help When starting and moving. Up the river for about 3 hours or so My oil indicator is reading around 15/20. However whilst I went below to check the engine I notesed the gage was showing 5/7 I have recently changed the anti freeze to 50/50 and I feel there may be some air in the system I have been using the little brass tap on top of the exhaust box which some of the air is coming out.
