Bleeding from the Fuel System After
Starting Failure on page 34.
Changing the Engine Oil
The engine oil in a new engine becomes
contaminated from the initial break-in of
internal parts. It is very important that the
initial oil replacement is performed as
scheduled. This includes the replacement of
the oil filter at this time.
It is easiest and most effective to drain the
engine oil after operation while the engine is
still warm. WARNING! If you must drain
the engine oil while it is still hot, stay
clear of the hot engine oil to avoid being
burned. ALWAYS wear eye protection.
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. NOTICE: Prevent dirt and debris
from contaminating engine oil.
Carefully clean the dipstick and the
surrounding area before you
remove the dipstick. Remove the
engine oil dipstick. Attach the oil drain
pump (if equipped) and pump out the
oil. For easier draining, remove the
engine oil fill cap.
3. Fill with new engine oil. See Adding
Engine Oil on page 24. NOTICE:
NEVER mix different types of engine
oil. This may adversely affect the
lubricating properties of the engine
oil. NEVER overfill. Overfilling may
result in white exhaust smoke,
engine overspeed or internal
damage.
4. Perform a trial run and check for oil
leaks.
5. Approximately 10 minutes after
stopping the engine, remove the oil
dipstick and check the oil level. Add oil
as necessary.

3. Remove the engine oil filter.
4. Clean the face of the filter mounting
flange and apply a light coat of oil to the
gasket of the new oil filter.
5. Install a new filter element and tighten
by hand until the seal touches the
housing.
6. Turn filter an additional 3/4 turn with a
box wrench. Tighten to 20 to 24 N·m
(14 to 17 lb-ft.).
7. Perform a trial run and check for oil
leaks.
Changing the Marine Gear Oil
Note: Refer to the Operation Manual
supplied with your marine gear or sail-drive
unit for service and maintenance details.
During initial operation, the oil is quickly
contaminated due to the initial wear of
internal parts. The lubricating oil must
therefore be replaced early.
1. Remove the cap from the filler port and
attach an oil drain pump. Drain the
marine gear oil.
2. Fill the marine gear with clean marine
gear oil. See Marine Gear Oil
Specifications on page 25.
3. Perform a trial run and check for oil
leaks.
