TIP:
When using an oil changer, skip steps 6 and
7.
6.
Prepare a suitable container that holds a
larger amount than the engine oil capac-
ity. Remove the drain screw and gasket
while holding the container under the
drain hole. Let the oil drain completely.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
TIP:
If the oil does not drain easily, change the tilt
angle or turn the outboard motor to port and
starboard to drain the oil.
7.
Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
install the drain screw.
TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into
contact with the surface of the drain hole.
Then tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten the
drain screw to the correct torque with a
torque wrench as soon as possible.
8.
Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Put back the filler cap and the
dipstick.
NOTICE:
Overfilling the oil
could cause leakage or damage. If the
oil level is above the upper level mark,
drain until the level meets the speci-
fied capacity.
