fied in Oil Requirements on page 16.
Replace the filler cap and tighten securely.
Reinstall the engine cover.
IMPORTANT: The oil tank capacity is 2.0

PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a
lack of lubrication.
Prime the oiling system to remove air from the
system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new – Dealer must prime
the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic
software;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run out
of oil;
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing winter-
ization. Refer to Long-Term Storage (Win-
terization) on page 50.
