GASOLINE

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a differ-
ent brand of gasoline or premium unlead-
ed fuel.

EMU00027

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if ethanol content does not
exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum
octane ratings. Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by Yama-
ha because it can cause fuel system dam-
age or engine performance problems.

EMU19570

ENGINE OIL

Use Yamalube 2-M outboard oil. If
Yamalube 2-M is not available, use only
another outboard motor manufacturer’s
factory-brand oil with TC-W3 rating.

c

C

Serious engine damage can result from
the use of lower quality oil, including
some commonly available oil brands with
“ TC-W3” on their label. To avoid the risk,
use only Yamalube 2-M or, if necessary,
another outboard motor manufacturer’s
factory-brand TC-W3 oil.

E

Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 2 STROKE OUTBOARD
OIL

Recommended gasoline:

Regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump
Octane Number) = (R+M)/2
