I had the oil, filter, and plugs changed with 15 hours because my dealer is 150 miles away and I was going to be in the area last summer.
They reset the maintenance light to come on at 65 hours and I only have 30 hours as of today and will not have 65 hours until late next year.
My question is should I have the oil, filter, and plugs changed this fall or spring? I would like to wait until the 65 hours but will be 2 years plus on the oil and plugs?
Someone stated the oil and filter should be changed every year regardless of hours on the motor?
Thanks and would appreciate any input.

Yeah don't go by the maintenance light. Oil and filter need changing once a year ( more if you have a lot of hours ) and the rotax manual suggests for plugs to inspect annually and change if needed. Or change every other year if 1 year inspection was ok

Yeah. Oil change is super easy. There are some posts on here with videos showing steps. I'll try and find some and post back. If you google search, search sea-doo oil change. Most are tagged on YouTube under sea-doo
