Transmission Oil, Change
Draining
1 Trim the sterndrive down to the drive position.
2 Remove the propeller; refer to
Maintenance page 110.
3 Place a container under the sterndrive. Remove the
oil dipstick.
4 Remove the plug (1). Allow all the oil to drain from
the sterndrive.
Hand the oil to a recycling depot.
Filling
1 Remove the cover and undo the oil level plug (2).
2 Fill new oil through the oil drain hole; use a pump
with a 3/8–16 UNC union. For oil grade and quan-
tity, refer to Propulsion Unit.
Fill slowly to avoid the formation of air bubbles.
When the oil is visible in the oil level hole, the stern-
drive is sufficiently full.
3 Check the O-rings on the plug and dipstick; replace
as necessary.
Reinstall the oil dipstick and oil level plug.
4 Remove the oil pump and screw the plug back in.
5 Check the oil level on the dipstick. Oil must be visi-
ble on the flat part of the dipstick. Top up with oil
through the oil dipstick hole if necessary.
6 Reinstall the cover and propeller.
If the oil has been completely changed, the oil level
must be checked again after the sterndrive has been
2
run for a short while to eliminate air pockets.
