General periodic maintenance
a. Fill the engine with the specified
amount of the recommended engine oil
through the oil filler hole. Install the oil
filler cap and dipstick.
Do not overfill the engine with engine oil.
Otherwise, the engine could be damaged
or oil could leak. If the engine oil is above
the upper level, extract the excess engine
oil until the oil is at the proper level.
b. Leave the outboard motor off for 5–10
minutes.
c. Remove the dipstick “1” and wipe it
clean.
d. Insert the dipstick “1” completely for a
correct measurement and remove it
again.
e. Check that the oil level indicated on the
dipstick “1” is between the upper mark
“a” and the lower mark “b”.
f. Start the engine and check that the oil
pressure alert indicator does not come
on. Also, check that there is no oil leak-
age.
If the oil pressure alert indicator comes on
or if there is oil leakage, stop the engine
and find the cause. Continued operation
with a problem could cause severe engine
damage.
Changing the engine oil by removing
the drain bolt

hours of operation or 3 months, and every
100 hours or at 1-year intervals thereafter.
