Checking Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill. Be sure that the outboard is upright
(not tilted) when checking oil.
1. Turn the engine off. Have the outboard in a level operating
position. Remove the top cowl.
2. Remove dipstick. Wipe dipstick with a clean rag or towel and
push it back in all the way.
3. Pull the dipstick out again and observe the oil level. If oil
level is low, remove oil filler cap and fill to (but not over) the
full mark with the recommended oil.
IMPORTANT: Inspect oil for signs of contamination. Oil
contaminated with water will have a milky color to it; oil
contaminated with fuel will have a strong fuel smell. If
contaminated oil is noticed, have the engine checked by your
dealer.
