Procedure

Check and top-up engine oil level

1. Pull the dipstick back out and observe the oil level. Oil should be in the operating range (cross hatched region). 2. If the oil level is below the operating range (cross hatched region), remove the oil filler cap and add approximately 500 ml (16 oz.) of specified outboard motor oil. 3. Allow a few minutes for the added oil to drain to the oil sump, then check the dipstick again. 4. Repeat the process until oil level is within the operating range (cross hatched region). Do not try to fill to the upper end of the operating range. WARNING: Do not overfill to the top of the operating range. Oil level is correct as long as it appears anywhere in the operating range (cross hatched region). 5. Inspect oil for signs of contamination: milky color indicates water contamination; strong fuel smell indicates fuel contamination. WARNING: If contaminated oil is noticed, have the engine checked by your dealer immediately.
