Why Regular Maintenance Is Critical

Parsun 4‑stroke outboards are built for reliability, but they still need clean oil, fresh fuel and correct cooling to last.

Regular maintenance will:

  • Extend engine life and protect your investment
  • Reduce starting problems and breakdowns on the water
  • Keep fuel consumption and emissions low

You can find an easy checklist and yearly plan in the Regular maintenance schedule for Parsun outboards.

Use Correct Parts for Your Model

Using the right oil filter, spark plug, fuel filter, impeller and gear oil is as important as doing the service itself.
