Oil Filter?

[whaler7626]

Hey! About to pickup my SX240 from storage and I will be doing an oil change, oil filter change, and bearing greasing. Does anyone know the part number for the filter/where I should pick it up? Also I recall on the former site there was a thread for the service manuals, have we done that here yet?

Thanks y'all!

I think this is the same engine,
it's from the reference /member tips thread,

Sorry to advise that we are not copying/sharing service manuals on our board because of liability issues.

@Scottintexas I totally forgot to check that super-thread! Found it there! Is it bad to go with the non-yamaha brand oil filter? (we use the boat a ton and will probably run thru 1 or 2 maintenance intervals this summer again) And I figured that's why I couldn't find the manual here, no prob! I have it on my old computer I just didn't want to have to go find it hahaha

If you have an extended warranty then I would stick with all Yamaha brand parts, including oil. May cost more but you don't want them to blame any warranty claims on the fact you didn't use approved Yamaha parts.

I found a yamaha brand filter on west marine online, http://www.westmarine.com/buy/yamaha--element-assembly-oil-cleaner--13164223 Is there a specific one for each model of boat? The thing is my yamaha service dealership is like 1.5-2hrs away, although we do have a boat dealership here (Lake Minnetonka) they just don't do service so I don't know they would carry the filter. Also could I go to a yamaha waverunner dealership and grab a filter there, like would those filters be the same? Soooo sorry for all the questions!

all the 1.8l should use the same filter. IMHO I would just buy a quality after market filter, If your going to change you oil twice this summer I don't think it would make a difference even with 100 hours this summer. I would just save your receipts for warranty issues. Do you have a YDS or hour meter to read your hours to keep a good mtc log ?

Yep we have the one in the gauges, logged tons of hours last summer!

The correct Yamaha# for 1.8motor filter is 69J-13440-01. Most dealerships can ship you a filter. As for after market filters and (I know I might get blasted here and that is OK) are not metric threaded filters. They are standard thread. Not saying they will not work. Many use them on the 1.8 motors and have no problem. Just wanted you to be aware of the thread difference.

Thank you @Boat Crazy !! Good to know! I will call them tomorrow morning and see if I can pick one up!

You can't make that statement and leave us hanging, How many hours did you put on it last year ?

 

[whaler7626]

Hahaha we logged 143.2 hours, which it a lot in my book! Likely to put on even more this year though because of a headstart on the season, and less rain! (last summer there was maybe one weekend that did not have some form of rain or thunder/lightning at some point)
