Gasoline

If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.

Recommended gasoline:

Regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 86 (Pump Octane Number) = (R+M)/2

Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gasohol containing ethanol and that containing metha- nol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum octane ratings. Yamaha does not recommended gasohol containing methanol because it can cause fuel system damage or engine performance problems.

Engine oil

Use Yamalube 2-M outboard oil. If Ya- malube 2-M is not available, use only another outboard motor manufacturer’s factory- brand oil with TC-W3 rating.

Recommended engine oil:

YAMALUBE 2 STROKE OUTBOARD OIL

CAUTION:
