5. After the oil has drained completely, place
the motor in upright position.
6. Inject the specified gear oil into the lower
drain hole until it just starts to come out of
the gear oil level hole. Approximately 2.8 L
(3.0/2.5 US/lmp qt.) of oil will be required.
7. Reinstall and tighten the gear oil level plug
1 before removing oil filler tube from drain
hole.
8. Then quickly reinstall and tighten the gear oil
drain plug 4.
9. Check the gear oil level after 10 minutes.
NOTE:
When removing the gear oil level plug, the
design of the gearcase allows a residual
amount of gear oil to stay in the oil level plug
area.
This means that if you remove the gear oil level
plug, some amount of oil may come out even if
the total amount of oil in the gearcase is less
than the specified amount.
When checking the gear oil level, always be
sure to inject the oil into the gear oil level adjust-
ment hole and check that the oil comes out of
the gear oil level hole.

NOTE:
Recycle or properly dispose of used gear oil.
Do not throw it in the trash, or pour it on the
ground, down a drain, or into the water.
LOW PRESSURE FUEL FILTER
The low pressure fuel filter must be replaced by
an authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer periodi-
cally.
Replace low pressure fuel filter at every 400
hours (2 years).
NOTICE
If fishing line wraps around the rotating pro-
peller shaft, the propeller shaft oil seal can
become damaged and can allow water to enter
the gear case causing severe damage.
If the gear oil has a milky color, it is contami-
nated with water. Immediately contact your
authorized Suzuki marine dealer for advice.
Do not operate your outboard until the oil is
changed and the cause of the contamination
is corrected.
