TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into
contact with the surface of the drain hole.
Then tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten
the drain screw to the correct torque with a
torque wrench as soon as possible.
8. Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Put back the filler cap and the
dipstick.
NOTICE:
Overfilling the oil
could cause leakage or damage. If the
oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity.

9. Leave the outboard motor for 5-10 min-
utes.
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 up-
per 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.
