Suzuki Outboard Motor Fuel, Oil & Gasoline Recommendation
Tuesday, February 25th, 2014
Suzuki highly recommends that you use alcohol-free unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane rating of 87 (R+M / 2 method) or 91 (Research method). However, blends of unleaded gasoline and alcohol with equivalent octane content may be used. Allowable maximum blend of a single additive (not combination): 5% Methanol, 10% Ethanol, 15% MTBE
*If leaded gasoline is used, engine damage may result. Use only unleaded gasoline.*
ENGINE OIL
Use only oils that are rated SE, SF, SG, SH, or SJ under the API (American Petroleum Institute) classification system. The viscosity rating should be SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40 motor oil is not available, select an alternative according to the chart.
