Oil change an filter

[garyguise]

Ok, the manual says take it to the dealer. Since when can't we change our own oil and filters? I've been doing it for alot longer than most of the kids working in these places have been alive, nothing wrong with them, but its a chance and reason to get in there and look the powerplant over anyway. Nothing much else we can do these days.

That being said, there is nothing I have seen that tells how to do it. I'm sure I can figure something out, but it would be nice to have an idea of what I would be getting into. Maybe then I wouldn't feel bad about taking it and having it done. I guess its an old school kind of thing.

Any input is appreciated.

The recommended time on the oil change from seadoo is the first 10 hour break in and than every 100 hours. Here is the procedure to changing your oil too. You can order all the items needed from the "parts" link at the top also, except the Oil Extractor...go to West Marine.

Changing the oil on a 4-tec engine…all models

Here is the info on the oil change. If you still need info let me know. I own a 200 speedster 310 hp.
Here are the part numbers you need to change the oil and filter in ALL 4-tec engines.
(3) "O" rings
1)420320920-$7.25
2)420850500-$8.99
3)420950860-$2.20

Oil filter /I use a K&N off their website.
1)KN556-$12.95

Oil 10w40 Mineral Oil from seadoo#219700346-$6.50 a qt.
Be sure you use 10w40, marine 4 stroke Oil, with a API of SL, SJ or SN.
You need 3 L or 2.7 us quarts with filter for oil change.

Oil extractor from West Marine. Company Tempo, Part# 170200 Model# OB5 Retails about $50.00.
Change the oil when it is warm. Rev the engine to 4,000 rpm for 10 sec. and shut off at this rpm. This moves all the oil from the pto housing to the oil tank for maximum draining. Remove the oil filler cap and the dipstick. Insert the extractor tube in the dipstick 18.7 inches from the top of the dipstick pipe. Wrap tape around the tube to be sure it is in that deep. Next, extract the oil from the dipstick. (on pwc models only, the next step applies)When no more oil is extracted, pull the tube out of the dipstick hole and crank the engine(do not start) while the engine is in drown mode(fully depress the throttle lever, or on Jet Boats grab the throttle cable linkage at the throttle body and HOLD it open than crank the engine, get a friend to help)
Crank the engine for 10 seconds, Extract oil again, repeat crank extract 2-3 more times.
Keep track of how much oil you extract and add what you removed.

You will need a E-10 star socket or a 8mm(6pt) socket to remove the oil filter cap. There are 3 "O" rings in the filter cap area if they are damaged change them. Check level, and go have fun. Hope this helps, texasmojo.

I have wondered, I have a '08 speedster 150 with the 155hp motor. According to the dealer it came from the manufacturer with synthetic oil in it (not the mineral oil). When the dealer did the 10 hour maintenance they used synthetic oil. Now I realize that the supercharged motors require that you not use the BRP synthetic oil but I am wondering if we should continue to use synthetic oil in the 155hp versions of the 4-tec or if it is OK to switch to using mineral oil. I ask because when we do an oil change we never really get all of the oil out (although I did do an oil change a week ago myself and did manage to get 4 liters of oil out) and I am wondering if it is ok to mix the remaining synthetic with mineral oil.
