Re: Trim and Tilt Oil Change

You don't need to change the oil, just make sure it full. On the back of the pump, there is a fill screw. Raise the lower unit all the way up, remove the screw and fill until it starts to come out the hole. Install the screw hand tight and run the lower unit up and down several times. Check the fluid level again, top off as nessesary and repeat the process...
