Always fill the gearcase from the bottom drain hole until oil flows out the top vent hole. In this way, you can ensure that all the air has been expelled from the gearcase, and that it is completely full.

How do you change oil in a 2002 Mercury 5 hp outboard motor?

I would assume there is no oil reservoir in that motor. The oil is mixed in with the gas each time you fill the tank. There is probably lubricant (oil) in the lower unit gearcase, but I don't know the procedure for changing that.


Why fill an outboard gearbox from the bottom to the top?

The oil/grease is so thick and the openings in the lower portion of the outboard motor are narrow there is a potential for large air pockets to form, causing the motor to have less oil/grease than it should have. By adding from the bottom up you will see a more accurate fill with less air pockets.

How do you Change lower unit oil in Johnson Outboard motor?

There are two fill/drain plugs located on the right hand site of the lower case. Remove them and drain the lubricant. Once emptied force the new lube into the case using the lower port. When it starts to come out the top it is full and you can reinstall the drain plugs. Always fill from the bottom port or air pockets will get trapped in the case.


Where do you grease your lower unit on a mercury outboard?

Should be 2 screws. One toward the top, near the motor and one on bottom, near the prop. Open both to drain. Fill from bottom until it reaches top screw hole. Boat/ outdoor shops will have the proper oil and pump to use. Use the recommended OIL. Do once a year. Dispense properly.
