So I buy these nice looking pair of 97 sea doo gti. They look brand new except for a little hull damage on one. But I think I can repair so I pay 3500 with a nice double trailer. Which I k ow is a little higher than book. But I look inside and the things look New! Guy claims he's had them serviced every year. They both fire beautifully and move water well on trailer and sound great. We could drop them as lake only allows jets on odd days this was an even day. They did let us back them in and start them.
I get home and start hull repair on the one. I'm ordering other stuff and decided I'll need oil. Had shown me this kawasAki jet ski oil he was adding. I don't know then it's tcw3 and that's a no no. So I'm reading online manual to find right oil. Shockingly I discover the prohibition of tcw3 oils. The more I read the more horrified I become. Who knows how long thus has been used? I ask and he says that's what they told him to use. So my post is a must h discussed question on here. I've read every oil post I could on here.
So, Question 1 is the jet ski version of kawasaki tcw3 any better?
2. Assuming the negative... is there a step by step in here to draining this crap and putting proper oil in?
I've alreAdy ordered two oil filters... assume I know nothing. What's the easiest way to do this the best?
Please help with how to identify what you are taking about. Ie, I did find out where the filter was. But I think this oil goes into more than the engine. Ease help me identify where and how to drain and clean etc.
Thanks in advance.
