Changing engine oil
WARNING
EWM00760
●
Avoid draining the engine oil immediate-
ly after stopping the engine. The oil is
hot and should be handled with care to
avoid burns.
●
Be sure the outboard motor is securely
fastened to the transom or a stable
stand.
CAUTION:
ECM00970
●
Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the
outboard motor is upright (not tilted)
when checking and changing the engine
oil.
●
If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
could cause leakage or damage.
1.
Put the outboard motor in an upright po-
sition (not tilted).
2.
Prepare a suitable container that holds a
larger amount than the engine oil capaci-
ty. Loosen and remove the drain screw
while holding the container under the
drain hole. Then remove the oil filler cap.
Let the oil drain completely. Wipe up any
spilled oil immediately.
3.
Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
install the drain screw.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into con-
tact 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.
4.
Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Install the filler cap.
