SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
LEVEL SCREW
DRAIN SCREW
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Check the gear case oil level with the
engine stopped and the outboard
motor in the vertical position.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use.
Remove the oil level screw and see
whether oil flows from the oil level
hole.
If oil flows from the oil level hole,
the oil level is OK. Reinstall the
screw and tighten it securely.
OIL LEVEL SCREW TORQUE:
The SAE oil viscosity and service
classification are in the API label on
the oil container. Honda recommends
that you use API SERVICE category
SG, SH or SJ oil with the ‘‘starburst’’
certification mark displayed on the
container.
