Appreciate it thank you I brought them pump and also have the hose to compressor adapter was pretty cheap on amazon.I think see your oil filter on the second picture (it is inside the casing with the screws on the top but I have never opened it yet). As for the oil, I haven't done it also (I need to purchase the service manual) but I believe the oil goes out and in from the dip stick (you need a pump and a cylinder to pump the oil). I've seen that pump, my neighbor has one. It is hooked up to an air compressor to pump the oil out.
Since my ski is under warranty like yours (a 2018), I decided to let the dealer to the job this year (first oil change). Pretty expensive however...
I am planning to buy the pump cylinder next year and do it myself. If you need to winterize it, you also need a water pump and an adapter to connect to your ski and drain the water out of the muffler.
The dealer told me he was also fogging the engine but I wonder why you would have to do that on a 4-stroke.

Thank you much!Yes, you change the oil through your dip stick. You can buy the tool just about anywhere, West Marine, heck, I think I've seen it at Walmart. But, if your inventive like me, you'll take a shop vac, get a piece of hard tubing so it doesn't collapse, then use your shop vac to remove the oil. You'll need to put water in the vac, and I probably shouldn't be telling you this, since oil can put off a vapor that can explode in the electrical part of your vac. I'd done it taking oil from my rotary chamber of my 787,
The oil filter, much easier to get too... I'll attach a pix, maybe you can spot it easier that way. And make sure, you use the proper oil. Using the wrong oil has caused me to rebuild engines that I wasn't happy about, after telling them not to use TCW-3. Not sure what your 4-TEC calls for, but make sure, you get the right stuff.
I'm attaching the pix now.. Good luck!View attachment 38315
I keep a couple 5 gallon buckets in my shop. When I do this, I empty that oil into the 5 gallon bucket. Once it's full, I take it down to Advanced Auto Parts, and they have a recycle tank in the back. I dump it in there, and keep my bucket. Though, I don't often work on the 4-TEC engines, I have changed oil a few times. I do have the pump, connects to my drill. I used a cordless, but they take forever, cause they don't have enough power, so now I use my 110 volt drill motor. It's faster.And once you have old oil mixed with water in the vac, how do you dispose of the oil???
