We just bought a GTR and a Spark. Coming up to the first service and the dealer wanted almost $650.00 to do an oil change on the two skis! Unbelieveable. Your vid was great. That's what I thought it would entail. I can do that and save all that $$.

The most simple description of this oil change on KZfaq! Thanks for keeping it simple :)

Thanks for taking the time to prepare this video. A few things that I feel are important that may have been missed. #1 Before beginning the process of changing oil on a Sea-Doo, always run the engine for 10 sec at 4k RPM AND cut-off the engine during the rev too. #2 After you siphon out the oil with you oil extractor, in drown mode (depressing throttle all the way) turn over the engine for 4 sec and reinsert siphon hose to drain additional oil. Repeat this 3 to 4 times and don't effin' leave the siphon hose in the dipstick like a dipsh*t. #3 Change those damn O-rings. The reason you had a hard time removing the oil filter cover is b/c the O-rings are dried-out and need to be replaced; they're not soft and malleable anymore.

Thanks, I look forward to doing mine! Just got the machine, luvin it.

Came for the tutorial, stayed for the good boi in the background 😍 🐕 but seriously, great video! Was able to get it done issue free!

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Regarding your oil level being a bit high at the end...the service manual for this motor states to check the oil when the motor is warmed up. It says to warm up the ski (owner's manual states NEVER more than 5 minutes on a garden hose; however, many people suggest never more than 2 minutes so as not to harm the carbon seal on the pump) but after warming it up...on a completely level surface...you must shut it down for 30 seconds to allow the oil to drain down into the appropriate reliefs etc. Then you check the oil level. I might suggest that your oil was a bit high because it wasn't warm enough and there wasn't a 30 second delay. Might just be too technical but that's what the manual states FWIW? Still thankful you posted this.

Thank you for taking ur time and making a video

Glad it helped. It's a lot easier than most think.

Good video. Just a tip. If you remove the filter bolt first, the oil in the filter housing will drain into the crank case and you can siphon it out with the rest of the oil. The filter housing holds about half a quart or so.

So helpful. Helped a ton.

wow that was easy , thanks for taking the mystery out of this

Thanks great video

thks for the video,saved me allot of money

Good video. Thanks. FYI harbor freight sells a cheap pump for $5 and I got 2 liters out of my Waverunner in under a minute. Time to do the sportster.

Had I cranked the motor over to get the last bit of oil out your statement about not running it enough would be correct. In this case I didnt so my high reading was because I put too much oil in it. I had an electric pump but it kept taking a crap on me so i got rid of it and went with a good ol hand pump. Much more reliable. Thanks for watching.

yeah I hear you,getting the oil level just right s more important than anything in these because at the hi side of the level check you can loose 500 rpm .better right in middle and it take a couple minutes to get the oil warm and everywere in motor to be able to check it correctly

Nice looking dog

thanks for the video. Do you have one on winterizing? Marinas just way overcharge. My unit is not supercharged.

Thanks for the help

Graet video. Thanks

Great Video thanks,

Cool dog!

Where does that skinny vacuum line connect to? The one by your hand near the filter?

THANKS DUDE!!!

Thanks, good video!!!

Hey bro, congratulations, What is this vacuum pump?

Good Movie Thanks!!

I have an IS 255 and there is literally no room to get in and pull the cap off and filter out I have been able to do that with swivel attachments but I just cannot get the new one in place and tighten it up it just is not sealing and I don't have enough room to get straight on to adjust it any ideas?

Where would I be able to find a hand pump like the one you used in this video ?

Appreciate your post Dan! First time ski owner still in the learning curve. 🫡😉

Did you warm the engine up at all so the oil would pump out easier? I have a hose attachment that to do that safely. Or does it matter? Also you suggest motorcycle oil will basically any 10w40 work? Do you worry about replacing the O-ring at all? Looking to change mine this weekend. Thanks for the help. :)

got it at west marine if i remember correctly

I got mine at West Marine but pretty much any auto parts store should have something similar. Just ask for a fluid exchange pump. They are quite inexpensive.

Tilt forward backwards or level to evacuate oil?

Great video , should you change the o rings when you change the filter?

Здравствуйте! Какой марки использовали масло? ??? И какой вязкости?

Does it matter which side the filter goes in

Thanx for info

I have the orange pump from harbor freight and when I pump the oil nothin comes Out as if there isn't any oil. Must I crank the engine "non start" first to get oil at the bottom or what? Getting frustrated. Thanks man

Do you have to use the official Sea-doo XPS oil? Last oil change I bought the oil/spark plug kit from the dealer and did it myself but I've seen a few videos on here and it looks like people are using different brands. I know the manual tells you too but wondering if it's just one of those things that is not a big deal and makes no difference.

what kind of oil jug was the one you used?

What diameter is the hose on the oil pump?

does anyone how to reset the maintenance needed light after oil change on a 2013 215 wake pro

hola que tal tengo un kawasaki jet ski pero no se que tipo de aceite lleva me podras decir

Thanks for the info. I plan to do my tomorrow. You didn't replace the gasket?

Great video, any water intake with that intake setup?

What oil did you use?

do u have air filter at all?

Hi, for my sea doo 2003 gtx 4 tec SC the Motul 10W40 Mineral oil, 4-stroke motorcycles dont damage the SC. Thanks.

Hello! what kind of engine oil was used when replacing? I wonder which manufacturer did you choose?

Is this the same process for the 215 Sportster (2005)?

i have a question, i reinstalled my battery after its been out recharging and it acts like the key is on the seadoo without it being connected to the jetski? it starts beepping like im trying to start it and clicking somwhere on the motor. it wont crank when i do try to start it?

I think 3/8 may be too thick to make it all the way down the dipstick tube.

how often do u reolace the spark plugs on a 4-tec 215 sea doo pwc engine

where can i buy a oil filter beside sea doo shipping is a lot

Just a cheap one I bought at West Marine

there's no mystery to it at all.

Where do I get 1 of thouse evacuators?

I heard the valves could go bad on the earlier model 4-tecs because they were hollow. Have you heard of anyone dropping a valve in them?

How to reset maintenance reminder?

Where did you get your vacuum pump?

Smaller than the dipstick tube lol not trying to be a smartass but I really don't know. Gotta be somewhere around 1/4" to 7/16"

How many liters have on a RXP-X 260RS ?

How many liters does it take?

No you cannot. There's a screen in place to prevent debris from falling in through the large filler neck.

Thank you so much! You could make a great living going around working on the Rotax,.....I would hire you in a second to come check out my Speedster 150. Great,..did i say thanks?

Good info. All the sea doo kits are 3qts. So I was wondering why 3.5 came out!

where did you get your vacuum pump? thx.

Didnt run it long enough for checking the oil you can get a hi reading and its not , then you drain some and you end up low. whatever better video thean the rest but by electric pump tank

Cant even get the filter off.. huh

No estoy familiarizado con Kawasaki

the sound on the video isn't any good can barely hear it

horrible sound.. :(
