3.5 Changing engine oil
WARNING：
Avoid draining the engine oil immediately after stopping the engine. The oil is hot and should 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).
3. Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw. Tighten the drain screw.
4. Add the correct amount of oil through the filler hole. Install the filler cap.
5. Start the engine and make sure that there are no oil leaks.
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.
