TIP:
The oil lubrication check window does not in-
dicate the engine oil level. Use the oil lubrica-
tion check window to make sure that the
engine is being lubricated with oil while it is
running.
6. Insert the tube of the oil changer into the
oil filler hole, and then extract the engine
oil completely using the oil changer.
TIP:
When using an oil changer, skip steps 7 and
8.
7. Prepare a suitable container that holds a
larger amount than the engine oil capaci-
ty. Remove the drain screw and gasket
while holding the container under the
drain hole. Let the oil drain completely.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
TIP:
If the oil does not drain easily, change the tilt
angle or turn the outboard motor to port and
starboard to drain the oil.
8. Put a new gasket on the oil drain screw.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
install the drain screw.
TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into con-
tact with the surface of the drain hole. Then
tighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn more. Tighten the drain
screw to the correct torque with a torque
wrench as soon as possible.
9. Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. NOTICE: Overfilling the oil
tank could cause leakage or damage.
If the oil level is above the upper mark,
extract oil until the oil is between the
upper and lower marks.
