FUEL AND OIL
23
IMPORTANT: Oil must be NMMA certified TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil.
Mercury or Quicksilver Premium TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is recommended for this engine. For added protection and
lubrication, Mercury or Quicksilver Premium Plus TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is recommended. If Mercury or Quicksilver
outboard oil is not available, substitute another brand of 2‑cycle outboard oil that is NMMA Certified TC‑W3. Severe
engine damage may result from use of an inferior oil.
Fuel Requirements for Engine Break‑in
Do not use pre‑mixed gas and oil during break‑in. The engine automatically receives extra oil during engine
break‑in. Use a fresh supply of the recommended gasoline during engine break‑in and after engine break‑in.
Avoiding Fuel Flow Restriction
IMPORTANT: Adding components to the fuel supply system (filters, valves, fittings, etc.) may restrict the fuel flow.
This may cause engine stalling at low speed, and/or a lean fuel condition at high RPM that could cause engine
damage.
Filling Remote Oil Tank
Remove filler cap and fill with the specified oil. Oil tank capacity is 11.5 liters (3 gallons). Replace filler cap and
tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure the oil tank caps are threaded on tight. An air leak will prevent oil flow to the
engine.

Filling Engine Mounted Oil Reservoir Tank
NOTE: Filling this tank is only necessary if the oil level should ever drop and the low oil warning system is activated.
1. Remove the top cowl.
2. Loosen the fill cap on the engine oil reservoir tank. Run the engine until all the air has been vented out of
the oil reservoir tank and tank is filled with oil to the point of overflow.
3. Re‑tighten the fill cap. Stop the engine and replace the top cowl.
