Draining oil on 96 GTX

[PieceOfWork2004]

I just found out that one of my overly helpful friends topped off the oil tank on my 96 GTX this weekend with some QuickSilver Performance TWC-3! Any advice on how to clean this mess up? Is there any harm in running with it? I was going to pull the tank out and clean that out but I can't seem to be able to get it out without removing half the engine. I was thinking I could get in there with a Kerosene pump or something and siphon it out but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Changing Oil

Here's how I do it, I would not recommend this method if you are changing types, ie mineral to synthetic. This method should drian 99+% of the oil.

At the lower end of the oil pinch off the line as close to the filter as possible.
Lay an old towel under that area, remove the lower oil line an let the oil from the filter drain into a margarine tub or whatever you have.

After all the oil is empty change the oil filter and add some new oil, when the oil gets to the end of the filter put your finger over the end of the filter. Unpinch the lower hose and let a little oil from the filter run into it, to get rid of any air bubbles. Reattach the filter to the lower hose and install new cable ties.

Fill the oil tank, you're done.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm going to try and get everything drained out tonight but had a couple more questions.

Is the Quicksilver a mineral based oil? If so do I have do change anything else?

What type of oil filter should I put on there? Is this something specific to Seadoos or would any old oil filter work? I don't have a dealer nearby so if I have to order something I'd like to get it taken care of ASAP.

Thanks again!

I use QuickSliver mineral based PWC oil, it's the purple label. They also make a synthetic oil.

You might need to order an oil filter, if you let the one you have drain real well you can get by without a new oil filter.
