Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
7-33
Your Yamaha outboard features
4 cycle engine operation. Unlike
2 cycle outboards which mix
gas with oil technology, the 4
cycle engine uses crankcase 4
cycle oil to lubricate internal
moving parts. This operation
is similar to automobile engine
technology.
As part of this process, there
is a dipstick placed in the
crankcase to offer periodic
checking of engine crankcase oil.
To check the crankcase oil do the following:
1. Ensure the outboard is setting in a
fl
at vertical position or the dipstick
may not display an accurate oil level.
2. Remove the crankcase oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
3. Reinstall the crankcase oil dipstick completely into the hole. Remove
it again.
4. The oil level should be between the upper and lower dipstick holes.As
needed add the manufacturer’s recommended oil or contact your closest
dealer especially if the oil is contaminated with water which will show
a milky color verses a clear look. Refer to the outboard manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for oil changing maintenance schedules.
