CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
1) Put the outboard motor in an upright
position (not tilted).
2) Pull out the oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
3) Completely re-insert the dipstick and
pull out it again.
4) Check the oil level using the dipstick to
be sure the level falls between the upper
and lower marks. Fill with oil if it is below
the lower mark, or drain to the specified
level if it is above the upper mark.
