4. Clean the oil filter mounting base,
and coat the rubber seal of the new
oil filter with clean engine oil.
Use only a Honda Genuine oil

quality specified for your model.
Using the wrong filter, or a
non-Honda filter which is not of
equivalent quality, may cause
engine damage.

until it contacts the engine, then use
a suitable tool to tighten the filter
an additional 7/8 turn.

6. Fill the crankcase with the
specified amount (p. 76) of the
recommended oil.
Do not overfill. Overfilling the
engine will cause it to smoke or
have oil leaks.
7. Start the engine and check for
leaks.
Running the engine without water
can cause serious engine damage.
If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, place the unit in water or
supply adequate water to the water
intakes before running the engine.
Do not run the engine with the
flush attachment on the power
head.
8. Stop the engine, and check the oil
level as described on page 75. If
necessary, add oil to bring the oil
level to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
