Hi people,
New here and have a 2009 gti 155se that i bought last year.
Having a ball on it and took it in to a service place to get serviced for the spring.
The issue i have is when i checked the oil after a run for the day i notice its over full with oil by about 20ml on the dipstick.
After running it through the day i thought i could smell a slight oil burn smell when i got off it each time but thought it must be after a change.
the service person got a full 3,75 litre container and used it container all in motor and i see in specs i find says 3 litres.
My question is
A- will this damage the engine as i run it for about 2 hours doing a short course time trial type fun event so was pretty hard out.
B- do these skis have an air filter or such that if oil was blowen out any breather that would be affected.
Any advice apreciated.
 
No air filter to worry about but the oil overfill can cause serious engine damage. The BRP service manuals use the word “can” and not the word “will” cause serious engine damage so get the oil at the proper level and hope for the best.
 
I've yet to see any damage at all from overfilled oil. It will smoke and coat the plugs with oil and very reduced speed but removing oil fixes it. I was hoping the ace motors would be more tolerable of high oil level but they might even be worse. Half way up the dipstick for all seadoos is still the norm.
