Changing the Filter
1)
Remove the upper engine cover, the aft cov-
er latch and the starboard lower engine cov-

IMPORTANT: 4-Stroke outboards are shipped
without oil in the crankcase. You must add oil to
the crankcase before starting the engine for the
first time. It is recommended you add Evinrude/
Johnson 4-Stroke outboard oil. Refer to Changing
the Oil for acceptable substitute lubricants.
BEFORE filling the crankcase for the first time, be
sure it is empty by checking the dipstick. Refer to
Checking.
After the first 10 hours of operation, replace the
break-in lubricant with Evinrude/Johnson Ultra 4-
Stroke synthetic blend oil. Refer to 10-Hour In-
spection.
