Remove the shroud (cover) and check the crank-
case for proper oil levels. Remember that a 4 cycle
outboard uses crankcase oil to lubricate all internal
engine components such as crankshaft, rods and
pistons along with all related bearings and seals.
For changing crankcase oil contact your closest
Regal dealer for additional information since they
have the special tools and knowledge for these
maintenance procedures. Check your outboard
owner’s manual for correct oil type and viscosity.
See fi gure 1 for dipstick location.
To check the crankcase oil do the following:
1. Ensure the outboard is setting in a fl at vertical
position or the dipstick may not display an accurate
oil level.
2. Remove the crankcase oil dipstick and wipe it
clean.
3. Reinstall the crankcase oil dipstick completely
into the hole. Remove it again.
4. The oil level should be between the upper
and lower dipstick holes. As needed add the
manufacturer’s recommended oil or contact your
closest dealer especially if the oil is contaminated
with water which will show a milky color verses a
clear or light amber look.
