OIL FILLING
1. Remove the oil fill cap and add the recommended oil to the
midpoint of the operating range (midpoint of cross hatched
region). Adding approximately 7 liter (7.4 US qt) will bring
the oil level to midpoint of the cross hatched region.

2. Reinstall the oil fill cap.
3. With the outboard in water or a cooling water flush hose
connected, idle the engine for five minutes to check for leaks
at the oil filter.
4. Stop the engine and check the oil level.
Gearcase Lubrication
When adding or changing gearcase lubricant, visually check for
the presence of water in the lubricant. If water is present, it may
have settled to the bottom and will drain out prior to the lubricant,
or it may be mixed with the lubricant, giving it a milky colored
appearance. If water is noticed, have the gearcase checked by
your dealer. Water in the lubricant may result in premature
bearing failure or, in freezing temperatures, will turn to ice and
damage the gearcase.
Examine the drained gearcase lubricant for metal particles. A
small amount of metal particles indicates normal gear wear. An
excessive amount of metal filings or larger particles (chips) may
indicate abnormal gear wear and should be checked by an
authorized dealer.
