- Place the new gasket onto the drain plug.
- Reinstall the drain plug with the new gasket and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or gasket.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
How often should I replace this gasket?
For best results and to prevent oil leaks, Suzuki recommends replacing the oil drain plug gasket with every engine oil change.
Will this gasket fit my Suzuki DF4 or DF6 outboard?
While some retailers list this part as compatible with DF4 and DF6 models, most sources indicate it primarily fits engines in the 8HP to 30HP range. This is a known data conflict. We recommend verifying the part number in your owner's manual or by measuring your existing gasket to ensure a match.
What are the signs of a failing drain plug gasket?
The most common sign of a failing or worn-out gasket is an active oil drip or seepage from the drain plug area after the engine has been run. Over time, the gasket can compress, harden, or crack, losing its ability to create a proper seal.
Why are the year ranges missing for many compatible models?
Many parts suppliers provide compatibility data by engine model series (e.g., DF25A) without specifying exact production years. We include known year ranges when available but recommend cross-referencing your engine's serial number or original part number to confirm fitment.
