Yamaha F60 Oil & Filter Change

Tools Needed

• 9/16 socket set
• Oil filter wrench or channel locks
• Milk jug for oil collection

Safety

• Ensure the motor is in the down position before draining oil to prevent rapid oil flow.
• Be careful not to overtighten the oil filter.

Steps

1. Remove the motor cover to access the oil drain plug.
2. Use a 9/16 socket set to loosen and remove the oil drain plug, allowing the oil to drain into a milk jug.
3. Move the motor to the down position slowly to ensure all oil is drained.
4. Clean up any residual oil from the motor using paper towels.
5. Remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench or channel locks.
6. Clean the area around the oil filter to remove any excess oil.
7. Lubricate the new oil filter with a small amount of oil from the edges.
8. Install the new oil filter by hand, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.
9. Reinsert the oil drain plug, ensuring it is secure.
10. Add approximately 2 quarts of Yamaha Safe 10W30 oil to the motor.
11. Check the oil level using the dipstick, adding more oil if necessary to reach the halfway point.

Tips

• Be cautious when tightening the new oil filter to avoid overtightening or puncturing the filter.
• Ensure the oil drain plug is clean and free of dirt or grime before reinserting.
