8.
Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Put back the filler cap and the

10. Remove the oil dipstick and wipe it
clean.
11. Insert the dipstick and remove it again.
Be sure to completely insert the dipstick
into the dipstick guide, otherwise the oil
level measurement will be incorrect.
12. Recheck the oil level using the dipstick to
be sure the level falls between the upper
and lower marks. Consult your Yamaha
dealer if the oil level is out of specified
level.
13. Start the engine and make sure that the
low oil pressure-alert indicator remains
off. Also, make sure that there are no oil
leaks.
NOTICE:
If the low oil pressure-
alert indicator comes on or if there are
oil leaks, stop the engine and find the
cause. Continued operation with a
problem could cause severe engine
damage. Consult your Yamaha dealer
if the problem cannot be located and
corrected.

Why Yamalube
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part
born of the engineers’ passion and belief that
engine oil is an important liquid engine com-
ponent. We form teams of specialists in the
fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry,
electronics and track testing, and have them
develop the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage of the
base oil’s qualities and blend in the ideal bal-
ance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and syn-
thetic oils have their own distinct characters
and value. Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and development
into oil since the 1960’s helps make
Yamalube the best choice for your Yamaha
engine.
