MANUAL OIL LEVEL CHECK
The engine oil level may be checked manually via the oil dipstick as follows:
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill. To avoid overfilling, the targeted level when
adding oil should be 1/2 to 2/3 above the bottom of the dipstick crosshatch or
ADD mark. The outboard must be in a vertical (not tilted) position when
checking the engine oil. For accurate readings, check the oil only when the
engine has not run for at least an hour.
1. With the engine off, trim/tilt the outboard to the vertical (not tilted) position.
