2007 rxp oil??

[davethebrave]

I have a 2007 sea doo RXP 215 supercharged. Sea doo oil is rather expensive, so i was wondering if there was an alternative oil to run in this jet ski. I do believe that castrol manufactures sea doo brand oil, so is there are a cheaper alternative that I wont have to order online? thanks!!!!

I use a hawks bill knife...old one..not very sharp. You can use a short putty knife or even a flat screw driver or dull chisel....very carefully. I was told a wood shim might work...didn't for me. A plastic one might though.

Once you get one side to give a bit...you can rock the top back and forth till it's free. The housing is aluminum, easily scratched....beware.

You will prolly lose the thin o-ring on your first time. Be sure to have new ones on hand when you do change the oil and filter.
