2017 Waverunner VX Deluxe Oil Change

- Changed the oil at the 100 hour mark on the 2 VX Deluxe's. Thought I would share one of them. This is the third oil change, following the factory manual. Let me know if there is anything that I need to do differently.
If you own a Yamaha with a TR-1HO engine then this is the site to watch to check or change your oil. I watched a bunch of videos and this was the only one that showed the hose and “second” reservoir that needed to be emptied and refilled. Thank you!
I believe that the reason they recommend siphoning the oil from the dipstick hole first is because the oil is draining back into the crankcase from the time you shut the motor off, which would explain why he got more oil out of the crankcase after getting it out of the oil tank. The reason they recommend adding oil to both filler holes is because the oil tank will fill up before you get all 3.5 quarts in through the dipstick hole. I learned this the hard way. By adding oil to both holes saves time not having to wait for the oil to drain out of the oil tank. Good video!
Best waverunner oil change video I found, very informative and I liked the top view shot of the video, this will help me try it on mine, thanks.
Best video on yt on changing oil period.
Great video and thank you for posting this. This really helped me with doing my own oil changes on my skis.
Very helpful video!
I'm changing mine this weekend.
Thanks!
The only thing that I do different, is once the oil filter is off, put the siphon tube down the oil filter hole. Should get a couple more ounces more out of it. Good job!
Great video doing mine now just got my oil extractor the same one.
punch a hole in top of oil filter and it will drain out before you take it off. just a small vent hole will do
It says right on the side on Yamahas filters to oil the o ring. The grease on there just keeps the seal fresh and will make a better seal when put on the machine. High quality stuff.
Got a pair of VX 2020 limited, here I am researching oil changes, break in and 10 hour tune up etc. 3 cyl 4 stroke.
Great video, well done, clear and concise. I would suggest to use a 1qt measure, that way you will always know how much you put in.
Very helpful! Great video!
Great video. I learned a lot.
Great information. Good job.
Very well done video! I just finished doing my 2017 vx deluxe thanks to you! Only thing that took some getting used to was trying to hold and pour the huge gallon of oil into the small hose without overflowing and spilling it all over. I recommend getting a quart size bottle and splitting it up for each side. Its more of a pain but less messy. Alt least for me. Also, a few of rags on hand is useful.
Wow, thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. My Waverunner EX has the same engine and should be the same procedure. Yamaha dealership wants $200/ski to change the oil and I have 2. Just saved me a lot of money. Thanks a bunch...
That’s robbery
If that's oil and parts, plus change, i reckon that's good @666dynomax
Great Video! Thank you!
Nice job!
Great video, do a winterization video this fall please
Thanks for the video. Picked up my skis after dealer oil change. Kid behind the counter says " I've never done oil change on a jetski before...that was neat". Checked my oil to find it at "full" while ski is ice-cold. Wonder how overfilled it is.
Really enjoyed oil change video I feel like I could do myself. Have you done a winterization video
First video of the TR1 oil change procedure that correctly calls out the torque specs on the oil filter. You don't just "hand tighten" them and hope for the best. The shop manual calls out the torque specs for this (17 Nm or 12.5 ft. lb.).
Need help, after my 1st oil change (10h), I have started my waverunner and the check engine light turned on. Then when I stopped the engine, number 159 appears in the dashboard
Hey. Thank you
Why you don't use top oil cap to add some oil ?
Nice job. I just bought a 2018 ex sport with less than 10 hrs. I’m still confused on ckg oil. I didn’t get no manual But when it hasn’t run I don’t see anything on the stick now I just took it out for a 20 min ride and when i take out the stick i can see the oil. So do you really have to be careful about just letting it run a few minutes rather than getting it really hot ?? Help pls
My oil filter is leaking do I have to remove all the oil to change the filter? Or because it’s on top I shouldn’t have to?
TY
How much oil does it burn when should I add oil
OK question here for anybody that could help me I have a 2018 Yamaha VX cruiser and the first time I’ve ever owned one and definitely an amateur at this. I went to check the oil straight cold and it was low. I added a quart but I haven’t done anything to try to start or anything cause a battery went dead fortunately now after watching this video, it says that I have to warm the jet ski up first so now I’m afraid that there could possibly be a court too much what do I do or how do I know? by looking into the crank case I don’t see any oil in there, so I don’t know if I’m supposed to be seeing some or not. do I need to siphon that quart out and then start the engine then I’m afraid that if I was low on oil, I don’t wanna be running the engine. I don’t know you guys have all the experience in the world. can you tell me what what I should do which direction to take. If for any input thank you.
The moment I crank my Yamaha vx it starts beeping… I cleaned battery terminals, and it still beeps… anyone know what I need to do?
You don't need to add oil to the filter like when doing the car oil change, correct?
Jace Cosentino correct
Hi
Yamaha service change my oil last spring and after that I use my 2017 Waverunnner VX Deluxe about 6 hours last summer.
Now when I check the oil after this winter the oil dipstick is completely dry, no oil at all on the stick (the engine has not been turned on).
I guess I should see some oil on the dipstick even if the engine is cold? Did they forget to add oil last spring? :|
These are not like your car that has an oil pan that you can check the level with your dipstick anytime. To check the oil the waverunner needs to be level, the engine needs to be run for about 6-10 minutes to warm up - with water running through the cooling system, then checked immediately once shut off. The procedure is on page 53 of the free Yamaha service manual that came with the waverunner. Just be sure to never run the engine without water properly running through the cooling system.
@@jayfamfriendsadventures523 OK, that sounds good. Then I can trust the Yamaha service center to do it again. Thanks =)
Tilapic no it’s a dry sump you will have to run the motor to check the oil level
Tilapic not they are charging 6 hours. I got mine winterized and oil changed by dealer as I ran out of time once it never went back after I got the bill. 120 and I supplied the oil and antifreeze as I planned on doing it myself
Very good video!! After you warm the engine before extracting, take a nail and punch a little hole in top of oil filter. It'll let the oil drain from filter back into engine. Less of a mess when you remove filter.
Is that a mechanical pump or electric?, I don't see your hands on the pump. Thanks.
It is a manual pump from Amazon $68. Mityvac 07400 Automotive Accessories.
Can't see dipstick during check.
How is it that I'm able to fit 4 quarts in and not be over full?
Do you warm it up first? You have to check the oil after the ski is warmed up and you have just shut it down. You can’t check it cold as per the owners manual.
Good job on the video. At what rpm does your sled idle at? I have the same sled and mine wants to idle at 3000 rpm.
Thanks - That is too high, should be around a 1,000 - don't have the exact. The easy checks are for any air leaks on intake components and make sure the throttle is closing all of the way. Otherwise, might be electrical. Easy check is to make sure all of your connectors looks secure - for temp sensors and throttle body...Good luck.
Was just looking at one of these. There was a sticker on the top of the engine that shows what it should idle at
Check out the new oil change update th-cam.com/video/oghFiVRlSL0/w-d-xo.html
Id never wait 100 hours for anything...
i believe you should not use a wrench to torque the oil filter, that's new!
