That info is in your owners manual, which you can DL from http://tohatsu.com/tech_info/manuals.html

Oil changes should be every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first.

You need NMMA type FC-W, SAE 10w-30. It holds about 1L. DO NOT overfill. The oil level on the dipstick should be at or a little below the full mark; not even a drop above. When refilling, it will take significant time for the oil to read on the stick, so again, don't overfill.

[FONT=&quot]You may also use any filter listed in the cross reference chart below:[/FONT]

Manufacturer	Part Number
AC	PF1237
FRAM	PH6607
LEE	LF2876HP
MAZDA	B6Y1-14-302
MOTORCRAFT	FL816
PUROLATOR	L14622
SUBARU	15208-KA-010
WIX	51365

You will also need an oil filter wrench. Your local auto parts store may or may not carry one that fits.

Paul,

It it's a 4 stroke engine, like a motorcycle engine placed vertically with a prop, does oil gets very dirty as to change it at just 50 worked hours or it's a making oil issue just in case ?

Happy Boating

Actually, the owners manual says every 100 hours or 6 months for that model, but most of these motors don't get more than 50 hours use per season.
