Yamaha F225 Gearcase Oil Change
In the video above, see how to change the gearcase lube from a Yamaha F225 outboard. Besides the lower unit oil, you’ll need a Yamaha pump to fill up the gearcase. This pump is Yamaha specific, since the nozzle on the end of the pump has to mate with the fitting on the lower unit drain bolt opening. You’ll see where the vent and drain bolts are located, as well as how to change the gearcase lube. The lower unit oil on a Yamaha F225 outboard should be changed after every 100 hours of use or once a year.
