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.
Use only a genuine Honda oil
f ilter or a f ilter of equivalent
quality specif ied f or your model.
Using the wrong f ilter, or a non-
Honda f ilter which is not of
equivalent quality, may cause
engine damage.
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.
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke automotive detergent oil.
Start the engine and check for
leaks (be sure the water level is at
least 2 inches above the
antiventilation plate).
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.
Return the outboard motor to the
vertical position, and fill the
crankcase with the specified
amount (p.
) of the
recommended oil.
Screw on the new filter by hand
until it contacts the engine, then
use a suitable tool to tighten the
filter an additional 7/8 turn.
OIL FILTER TIGHTENING
