● Do not overfill the oil, and be sure the
outboard motor is upright (not tilted)
when checking and changing the engine
oil.
● If the oil level is above the upper level
mark, drain until the level meets the
specified capacity. Overfilling the oil
could cause leakage or damage.

turns off. Make sure that there are no oil
leaks.
CAUTION:

If the low oil pressure warning indicator
does not turn off or if there are oil leaks,
stop the engine and find the cause. Con-
tinued operation with a problem could
cause severe engine damage. Consult
your Yamaha dealer if the problem cannot
be located and corrected.
5. Turn off the engine and wait 3 minutes.
Recheck the oil level using the dipstick to
be sure the level falls between the upper
and lower marks. Fill with oil if it is below
the lower mark, or drain to the specified
level if it is above the upper mark.
6. Dispose of used oil according to local
regulations.
NOTE:
● For more information on the disposal of
used oil, consult your Yamaha dealer.
● Change the oil more often when operating
the engine under adverse conditions such
