Gasoline
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing metha-
nol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used
if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and
the fuel meets minimum octane ratings.
Yamaha does not recommended gasohol
containing methanol because it can cause
fuel system damage or engine performance
problems.
EMU25660
Engine oil
Use Yamalube 2-M outboard oil. If Ya-
malube 2-M is not available, use only anoth-
er outboard motor manufacturer’s factory-
brand oil with TC-W3 rating.
CAUTION:
ECM01290
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.
