SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR

Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Check the gear oil level with the
engine stopped and the outboard
motor in the vertical position.
Remove the oil level plug 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 plug
and tighten it securely.
OIL LEVEL PLUG 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.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use.
