Checking And Adding Engine Oil
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill. Be sure that the outboard is upright (not tilted) when checking oil.
1. Turn the engine off. Have the outboard in a level operating position. Remove the top cowl.
2. Flip the handle up and pull out the dipstick. Wipe it with a clean rag or towel and push it back in all the way.
3. Pull the dipstick back out again and observe the oil level. If the oil level is low, remove the oil filler cap and
fill to (but not over) the upper oil level with the recommended oil.

IMPORTANT: Inspect oil for signs of contamination. Oil contaminated with water will have a milky color to it; oil
contaminated with fuel will have a strong fuel smell. If contaminated oil is noticed, have the engine checked by
your dealer.
