3.5 Changing engine oil
WARNING:
Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot
andshould be handled with care to avoid burns.
Be sure the outboard motor is securely fastened to the transom or a stable stand.
CAUTION:
Change the engine oil after the first 10 hours of operation, and every 100 hours or at 6-month
intervals thereafter. Otherwise the engine will wear quickly. Change the engine oil when the oil is
still warm.
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright position (not tilted).
2. Prepare a suitable container that holds a larger amount than the engine oil capacity.
Loosen and remove the drain screw while holding the container under the drain hole.
Then remove the oil filler cap. Let oil drain completely. Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
