Engine Oil Level Check - Honda BF5A Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the outboard motor in
a vertical position.
1. Move the engine cover lock lever down to unlock the cover, and remove the
cover.
2. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.
Insert and remove the dipstick without screwing it into the filler neck. Check
the oil level shown on the dipstick.
If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, fill with
the recommended oil to the upper limit mark.
Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage.
3. Install the oil filler cap and tighten it securely.
4. Install the engine cover, and lock it by moving the lever up.
