OIL FILLING
1. Remove the oil fill cap and add the recommended oil to the midpoint of
the operating range (midpoint of crosshatched region on the dipstick).
Adding approximately 7 Liter (7.4 US qt) will bring the oil level to midpoint
of the crosshatched region on the dipstick.

2. Install the oil fill cap.
3. With the outboard in water or with a cooling water flush hose connected,
idle the engine for five minutes to check for leaks at the oil filter.
4. Stop the engine and check the oil level.
Gearcase Lubrication
When adding or changing gearcase lubricant, visually check for the presence of
water in the lubricant. If water is present, it may have settled to the bottom and
will drain out prior to the lubricant, or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving it
a milky colored appearance. If water is noticed, have the gearcase checked by
your dealer. Water in the lubricant may result in premature bearing failure or, in
freezing temperatures, will turn to ice and damage the gearcase.
Examine the drained gearcase lubricant for metal particles. A small amount of
metal particles indicates normal gear wear. An excessive amount of metal
filings or larger particles (chips) may indicate abnormal gear wear and should
be checked by an authorized dealer.
