Specifications and requirements
Engine oil requirements
Fuel requirements
Recommended engine oil:
YAMALUBE 4-M FC-W oil or 4-stroke
motor oil with a combination of the fol-
lowing SAE and API oil classifications
Engine oil type SAE:
10W-30 or 10W-40
Engine oil grade API:
SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL
Total engine oil quantity (oil pan capacity):
2.1 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)
Replacement engine oil quantity (at peri-
odic maintenance):
Without oil filter replacement:
1.9 L (2.01 US qt, 1.67 Imp.qt) With
oil filter replacement:
2.1 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)
If the recommended engine oil grades are not
available, select an alternative from the
following chart according to the average tem-
peratures in your area.
Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane rating. If knocking or ping-
ing occurs, use a different brand of gasoline
or premium unleaded fuel. Hidea recomends
that you use alcohol-free (see Gasohol)
gasoline whenever possible.
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a min-
imum Octane rating of 86 (Pump Oc tane
Number) = (R+M)/2
NOTICE
●
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
●
Avoid getting water and contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E10) and that containing
methanol. Ethanol can be used if the ethanol
content does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets the minimum octane ratings. E85 is a
fuel containing 85% ethanol and must not be
used in your outboard motor. All ethanol
blends containing more than 10% ethanol
can cause fuel system damage or cause en-
gine starting and running problems. Hidea
does not recommend gasohol containing
methanol because it can cause fuel system
damage or engine performance problems.
It is recommended that you install a water-
separating marine fuel filter assembly (10 mi-
