1997 60 HP Mercury Outboard Model nbr: 1060412TD

Hello there, I'm relatively new to the maintenance of my motor. Wondering if someone could shed some light on this for me as my searches through manuals and Google have not been successful.

I have about 1/4 of last year's oil left. Now in the manual it doesn't say anything about draining for new oil. Question 1 is should I even worry about changing the oil or should I just add new stuff to this?

I'd like to besafe and change the oil. Question 2 is how do I drain the oil?

Any help with this is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Do not drain the oil tank just add more.

I thought that might be the case. Thank you!
