Engine Oil Recommendations
SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Running the outboard motor
without suf f icient cooling water
will damage the water pump and
overheat the engine.
Return the outboard motor to the
vertical position, and fill the
crankcase with the specified
amount (p. ) of the
recommended oil.
Start the engine and check for
leaks.
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke detergent oil.
Stop the engine, and check the oil
level as described on page . If
necessary, add oil to bring the oil
level to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, use commercially
available Ear-muffs and a hose to
supply water.
Honda 10W-30 FC-W outboard
motor oil is recommended for
general use.
If Honda 10W-30 FC-W oil is not
available, Honda recommends that
you use API service category SG, SH
or SJ oil. The SAE oil viscosity and
service category are in the API label
on the oil container.
