The recommended oil grades are in your owner's manual along with a lot of other things you should check out in it if you haven't already. I know a lot of guys who never read an owner's manual but with boats there are some things you need to read and understand on these boats, especially in regards to flushing procedure and safety stuff.Coming up on 10 hrs and looking into filters and oil. Are most of you staying with yamalube and genuine yamaha parts or venturing out. Also what are the part #'s on oil filters that you use and oil grade. 2019 SX210. Thx.
Yeah I saw that in the manual, but I'm a change the oil change the filter type guy.According to the manual you don’t have to change the oil filter until after 100 hours or 12 months. View attachment 91164 I used Castrol GTX 10w-40 but curious to see what others did too. The oil I pulled out after 10 hours looked just as good as the oil I was putting in, for what it’s worth. I used this extractor from Amazon and it worked perfectly!View attachment 91165
Thanks for the reply, I've read the manual, just trying to get a feel from the guys who have done numerous oil changes compared to my first one with this boat. Not the first time I've changed oil just the first time with PWC type engines. I guess i'm just an information junkie before I make my decision on what I want to use.The recommended oil grades are in your owner's manual along with a lot of other things you should check out in it if you haven't already.

Recommended oil grades based on engine and your locations temps.

Keep in mind I only have one engine to changeYeah, see, mine was $350 plus for filter, oil and spark plugs. Great incentive to learn how to do it myself. Plus I would have to take the boat over to them, which is a pain.
I would use the Yamalube for the first change, my logic being - it is conventional oil and a safe choice for break-in period for these engines.Coming up on 10 hrs and looking into filters and oil.
