SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
When you check the oil level with the dipstick, you might notice the engine oil
appears milky or the oil level has increased. If you notice either condition,
change the engine oil. See the following table for an explanation of these
conditions.
Operating Method
Running the engine below
3,000 rpm for more than 30%
of the time so the engine does
not warm up.
Frequent starting and stopping
without allowing the engine to
warm up.
64
Result
• Water condenses in the
engine and mixes with the oil,
resulting in a milky
appearance.
• Unburned fuel mixes with the
oil, increasing the volume of
oil.
Effect
The engine oil deteriorates,
becomes less efficient as a
lubricant, and causes an
engine malfunction.
Engine Oil Change
An engine oil evacuation device may
be used to remove the engine oil.
Drain the used oil while the engine is
warm. Warm oil drains quickly and
completely.
1. Unlock and remove the engine
cover (p. 62).
