Engine Oil / Filter - Yamaha AR240 HO Owner's Manual

FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING
If the fuel tank needs to be cleaned
or when any water is found in the fuel
system, take the boat to your Yamaha
dealer for service.

ENGINE OIL / FILTER

WARNING
Engine oil is extremely hot after the
engine is turned off. Coming into
contact with or getting any engine
oil on your clothes could result in
burns.
NOTICE:
Be sure the engine has enough
•
oil but do not overfill. If there is
too little oil, the engine can be
damaged. If there is too much
oil, the air filter can become
saturated with oil, permanently
damaging the filter and reduc-
ing engine performance.
• If oil is leaking or the oil-pres-
sure warning indicator comes
on when the engine is running,
immediately turn the engine off
and have a Yamaha dealer check
the boat. Continuing to operate
under such conditions could
cause severe engine damage.
It is recommended to have a Yamaha
dealer change the engine oil and oil
filter. However, if you choose to change
the oil filter on your own and you have
the special equipment necessary to do
so, refer to the service manual for this
boat.
Dispose of used oil according to local
regulations.
