Yamaha - Oil Tank - Lubrication System Component - 6J8-21707-01-00

Overview

The oil tank is one of those parts you rely on every time you turn the key, even if you don’t think about it. If it starts leaking, cracking, or feeding inconsistently, you’re risking the whole motor. I’ve seen simple tank issues lead to bigger problems just because oil delivery wasn’t steady. Keeping a solid tank in place gives you peace of mind that the engine is getting what it needs.

Key Features

• Secure Oil Storage – Holds oil safely for consistent delivery to the engine.
• Reliable Feed Design – Supports steady oil flow through the lubrication system.
• Durable Construction – Built to withstand vibration, heat, and marine conditions.

• Leak-Resistant Build – Helps prevent oil loss and maintains system integrity.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Designed for Yamaha outboard engines with compatible oil injection or lubrication systems. Commonly used across small to mid-range outboards on fishing boats, skiffs, and utility vessels. Always confirm part number compatibility before installation.
