Oil Drain Screw
Replacing engine oil
Engine oil mixed with dust or water
will dramatically shorten the life of the
engine.
To change engine oil:
①
Stop the engine and set it in a
vertical position.
②
Remove the top cowl and oil filler
cap. Allow it to cool.
③
Put a oil drain pan under the oil
drain screw.
④
Remove the oil drain screw and
completely drain oil from the
engine.
⑤
Tighten the oil drain screw.
⑥
Fill the engine through filler port
with recommended oil (see chart
below) to the upper dipstick mark.
⑦
Tighten the oil filler cap.
Use only high quality 4-stroke
engine oil to insure performance and
prolonged engine life.
Use oils that carry the API rating of SF,
SG, SH, or SJ. Select the appropriate
viscosity, based on atmospheric
temperature, from the chart below.
You can also use NMMA FC-W
certified 4-stroke outboard oil below.
10W-30: is recommended for use in
all temperature.
25W-40: may be used at temperatures
above 4˚C (40˚F).
