Rotax engine substitute oil filter ?

[Janguh Lang]

The Man! Is what you are. Thanks. I will have to dig out my literature and take some snapshots so I dont have fine folk doing MY homework.

They dont have to be changed if they look good, but it is recommended. Glad you like your upgraded filters!

Hi Mike , hey I just changed the oil and measured about 100-103oz that I pulled out . Could you tell me if this sounds about right. I used a older style filter and the one that I pulled out was a newer style wish I had paid more attention to what filter I ordered. Also switched oil to shell T6 since mine is the 150 hp motor. Sweet posts bud ! Thanks

Scarabmike, you out there? I was curious if that oil filter part # is good for my 2019, twin 250 H.O.'s The dealer here in Austin really doesn't want to help, unless I buy from them. I'm doing most of my own maintainence, and doing the first oil change myself. Anyone know where I can buy a used Candoo, these guys are trying to bend me over on the resets?? Thanks to you, and everyone who donates their time, and their expertise here!!

ScarabMike is not there. I use his recommended oil and filter. No issues. You will need an inverted socket to remove the oil filter cover. Do a search for specifics.

Dean, Thanks for the heads up! I didn't see what oil he spec'd, but thought the stock filters looked cheap. I have tools for days (45+ years of car, boat, plane tinkering)

This is what he recommends and what I use.

Dean, I really appreciate your time!

Dean, sorry for my ignorance, I see the Rotella is full synthetic. Are you guys running this with no problems? I saw in the manual not to run it because of the lack of cohesion with the superchargers. I prefer to run synthetic in everything.
Thanks

IMHO I don't think you have anything to worry about but if you're not comfortable you can always get this.

Dean, I really appreciate your help, and patience. New boat, and these guys are sticklers here. Synthetic out performs conventional in every way, I just don't want to void my warranty. Your superchargers running this no problems though??

You're fine. We're just trying to help. I too had the same concern. Read here.

I copied this from my owners manual. Different boat, same engines (unless you have the new 300 hp).

@Geeman You will be fine with the rotella. As long as the oil is rated for wet clutches (JSO-MA) you will be fine. Rotella is better than XPS. You can also use Amsoil.

I just want to say thanks to you guys for all the help. Very refreshing, unlike the guy on here trashing the Scarab brand.
