Crank case oil change.

[GRILLSERGEANT]

How do you change the oil in a 94 bombadeer gtx or do. New to pwc. Also thanks for all the other advice so far

 

[GRILLSERGEANT]

There is nothing in the operators manual about how or how to even check it.

I think this is a very frustrating thing to maintain.

Do a search of this. It involves a turkey baster, a mirror, and maybe removing the exhaust.

I personally believe that this truly never gets changed except on a bottom end rebuild.

Let the other people chime in.

I have a DI and it's impossible. I also think mine gets oiled through the oil system. But the damn Seadoo manual isn't that great cuz it's done for the non DI model with a few excerpts for the DI.

Look at my name and search my posts to see our ideas about this.

I agree the manual is frustrating, and it is actually a 96 but Probally a mute point. But as far as any info in my manual about it there is none.

I searched and searched yesterday about the oil line that comes in from the bottom of the crank case just under the oil pump and its purpose. As stated there is NO information available on this item. I am Youtubed out looking for info.

I assume you want to change it because you are switching oil types. What I did is took the line that comes from the engine to the lower port on the oil tank and placed it is a cup to catch the oil, then took the line that connects to the top of the oil tank and blew through it to force as much out as I could. You're not going to get it all out but there won't be enough left to cause any real issues. Once you reconnect the lines and fill the oil tank with the new oil, you will be fine

what jjsinaz said should do the trick

This is not what you typically think of as crankcase oil, crank lube is from the fuel/oil mix in most 2-strokes (not to discuss diesel engines here). This line is for lubricating the RV gears that reside in a chamber between the 2 lower crank chambers and isolated from them with oil seals. I have seen no official drain/fill procedure.

Does this clarify a bit?

I used a suction gun to remove the oil in the tank from the top. Then disconnected the lower hose from bottom end (the end near the oil tank) and used the suction gun to remove as much as I could. I did this because it has mostly likely never been done and I want to get some new good oil in there. Since I removed the oil injection pump this oil will now just circulate in the system... hopefully Either way..I got some cleaner newer stuff in there with fresh additives.

There is no oil in the crankcase. The oil in the rotary shaft cavity never has to be changed.

Never is a long time Oil does remain the bottom of the engine because I drained it after I drained the oil tank. I am not sure how efficiently the oil is pumped through the engine but it doesn't hurt to drain it. I just went the extra mile... that's how I roll.
