Changing the Oil
3)
Hold a suitable container under the oil drain
screw (underside of engine). Remove the
screw and drain the reservoir. Before you re-
install the screw, replace the gasket with a
new one. Reinstall the screw and tighten it
securely.
Refer to Engine Maintenance and Inspection
Schedule for frequency.
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.
If Evinrude/Johnson Ultra 4-Stroke synthetic blend
oil is temporarily unavailable, you may use
Evinrude/Johnson 4-Stroke outboard oil or an
equivalent FC-W-approved 10W-40 or 10W-50 oil.
Drain (or siphon) the old oil after running the engine
to warm it. Warm oil flows more quickly and com-
pletely, containing more suspended sludge than
cold oil. If you change the oil only once a season,
time the work so the engine contains clean oil dur-
ing storage.
CAUTION
