I have a 115 and there is a small tube attached that just barely sticks out of the housing. I tape a piece of plastic 8"x 24" to the motor and down over the foot into an oil pan, remove plug and let it run into pan. Never had a mess yet other than a little oil on the socket wrench!! Just depends on quickness and coordination:banghead which I lack! Now removing the oil filter just sucks as far as getting oil on the engine. Once again strategically place good absorbant rags around and under the filter, spend alot of time getting them in there. You are still going to spill oil from the filter down into your motor where it is nearly impossible to clean up. Glad that these things are easy to work on. I grew up with many 2 cyclye outboards and man I love these yamaha 4 strokes! Take care of your motor and it will take care of you:clap Good luck. :usaflag:usaflag Steve :usaflag

So, what kind of oil do you use on the 4c Yamaha??????

I have a 115hp and the 100 hour thing is coming up soon..... The shop wants nearly $6. /qt. for the Yamaha stuff........ Any substitutes?????

TIA

I just changed the oil in my Honda 130. Manual calls for basic 10w30. That's all I use. The engine has little v spouts under theoil drain and filter threads. Spillage is not too bad as long as you tilt the engine up when you change the filter. Its hard to believe the manual calls for 6.9 qts. when changing oil and filter.

I hear the yamahas are a pain in the a$$.

If your motor is still under warentee I would stay with Yamaha's oil.

#2 I'm sure that in there OWNERS MANUAL it says what is compatable.

#3 Remember graity works , you can raise and tilt the motor to get started and remove the oil filter, Piece of cake.
