A few oil chane questions

[garystan]

The oil change video was very helpful but I have a few questions:
1. The video showed two o rings. One on the cover bolt and one inside the cover. Is there a third? Is there a cut sheet or picture that shows all three?
2. I have a non SC 2009 GTI. Can I get a few recommendations for the type of oil to use? Not cheap but not $14 per quart either.
3. One reply recommended warming up the oil. I have read about hooking up a hose to the engine and the proper way to do it buy I can’t find the hose hook up inside or outside my GTI. Any pictures? I did not see it in the manual.

Hey Gary-

Should be 2 rings. What makes you ask?
Amsol, Valvoline, and Castrol (among others) have 'motorcycle oil'. this formula will provide you with specs required for our motors.
Sea Doo sells a oil change pkg. that comes with a gallon of oil, rings, filter and plugs for around $50.
The hose hook up typically is on the external pump support plate tucked away in the upper left hand corner. it is threaded inside to receive the male end of a hose.
Warming the oil is the only way to fly...not hot :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info on the oil. I have read threads about three o rings, that is why I asked. Also, I looked but did not find the hose hook up

I also heard about 3 O-Rings... But i never couldn't find/replace the 3rd one at the moment to change the oil to my Seadoo GTX...

You can see the 3 O-Rings in this picture VVVV

In this picture below it show the 1 of 2 O-Ring i could find and replaced...

And here the 2 of 2 O-Ring...

Oh btw, as you can see, i used the AmSoil oil... In my research i find out AmSoil makes Bombardier Oil for all Seadoo/Skidoo machines...

Price is the same... :-(

The third thinner o-ring sits at the top ledge of the oil cap and is pinched between the housing and the cap after install.

Any pictures. That looks like what is shown above, the oil cap.
