2. ENGINE OIL

Oil Level Inspection:
Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and the
outboard motor in the vertical position.
1) Remove the engine cover.
2) Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean.
3) Insert the dipstick all the way in the oil level pipe, then pull
it out and read the oil level.
4) If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap and add the
recommended oil to reach the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
5) Reinstall the oil filler cap and dipstick.
Oil Change:
Drain the used oil while the engine is warm. Warm oil drains
quickly and completely.

2) Attach the drain plug cover to the oil drain guide of the oil
case.
3) Place a suitable oil container next to the outboard motor,
and remove the oil drain plug bolt.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is
compatible with the environment. We suggest you take
used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling canter
or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it in the
trash, pour it on the ground, or down a drain.
Used engine oil contains substances that have been
identified as carcinogenic.
If repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged
periods, it may cause skin cancer.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as
soon as possible after contact with used engine oil.
4) Replace the 12 mm drain plug washer with a new one, and
reinstall the oil drain plug bolt. Tighten the oil drain plug
bolt to the specified torque.
