6.4.2 CHECKING THE POWERHEAD OIL LEVEL
To check powerhead oil level, position your outboard trimmed to zero degrees. If cold, allow 5 minutes for
the oil level to stabilize. If the outboard has been operated recently and is warm, allow 20 minutes for the
oil level to stabilize.
Once the level is stable, extract the oil dipstick and wipe clean using a lint-free cloth.
Re-insert the oil dipstick fully and then extract again.
Inspect the oil level on the dipstick.
Above upper mark: Partial extraction required. Running with too much oil can degrade performance
and emissions and cause damage.
Between marks: Oil level acceptable.
Below lower mark: Top-up required. Running with too little oil can cause
rapid and severe engine failure.
Re-insert the dipstick and secure.
