Engine Oil Recommendations
SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Running the outboard motor
without suf f icient cooling water
will damage the water pump and
overheat the engine.
Return the outboard motor to the
vertical position, and fill the
crankcase with the specified
amount (p.
) of the
recommended oil.
Start the engine and check for
leaks.
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for
general use.
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, SJ, and SL oil with the
‘‘starburst’’ certification mark
displayed on the container.
Stop the engine, and check the oil
level as described on page
. If
necessary, add oil to bring the oil
level to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, use commercially
available Ear-muffs and a hose to
supply water.
