HOW TO: Antifreeze Change - Drain

[JuanchoPWC]

I just finished to change the Antifreeze to my Seadoo GTX as part of my noob year maintenance care... i must say: this job was a piece of cake..!!! now my seadoo will jump some waves with new antifreeze for the rest of the season..!!!

Let just start by pointing the drain plug...

An Allen Key is the only tool needed it to perform this maintenance procedure...

now, we need to remove the antifreeze reservoir cap...

BE CAREFUL when you remove the drain plug..!!! antifreeze come out as fast as a bullet..!!!;-)

and don't even think to remove the drain plug while you are standing right behind it.... otherwise you will end like HULK... trust me... i know...

Drain pan must be at least 3 feet away.. at least...

Anyway, this thing drink 4 quarts of BRP SeaDoo Pre-Mixed Antifreeze...

after you stop seeing air bubbles coming out of the drain... put back the drain plug... oh man, i would love to see YOU putting that plug...

let's just get ready to warm up a little bit the Seadoo...

but, before that.. make sure to put the reservoir cap back on...

Fire it up..!!!!

my home-made flush adapter is working beautify..!!!

nice, nice... antifreeze level is exactly as should be... right in the middle...

let's clean here....

and there...

and that's it...!!!! let's put the Seadoo back into the garage...!!!! waiting for a nice hot day to jump some waves..!!!!!!!!
