To prevent spilling oil where it could cause
damage to nature, it is strongly recommend-
ed that you use an oil changer to change the
engine oil. If an oil changer is not available,
drain the engine oil by removing the drain
screw. If you are not familiar with the proce-
dure for changing the engine oil, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
Changing the engine oil using an oil changer
(recommended)
1. Put the outboard motor in an upright po-
sition (not tilted). NOTICE: If the out-
board motor is not level, the oil level
indicated on the oil dipstick may not
be accurate.
