10 hour inspection / Oil change

[harrywillingham]

I have just reached 10 hours on my 07 GTI-SE's (2) and was wondering if anyone had the instructions to change the oil. I have a oil suction device to pump the oil out. The only question is changing the oil filter and o-rings. I was hoping to find a 2007 maintenace manual but cannot locate one. Any assistance or directions would be greatly appreciated. I was also wondering if you have to use the Seadoo four stroke oil or can you use something similiar?

Thank you!

Per manual:​

Run engine for 10 seconds at 4000 RPMand shut
it off at this RPM. This will move oil from PTO
housing to oil tank to allow maximum oil draining.
Remove oil filler cap and dipstick.
Using the suction pump (P/N 529 035 880), siphon
oil through dipstick hole.​

CAUTION:

Never crank or start engine when

siphon tube is in dipstick hole. Never start engine

when there is no oil in engine.
NOTE: So that siphon tube is located at the proper
height to siphon oil, it is suggested to put some
electrical tape on siphon tube at 475 mm (18.7 in)
from its end. Then, insert siphon tube until you
reach the tape.
​

Pull siphon tube out of dipstick hole then crank

engine (do not start) while in engine drown mode
(fully depress throttle lever and HOLD, then crank
engine).
Crank engine for 10 seconds. Siphon oil again.
Repeat the crank-siphon cycle 2 - 3 times.
Oil Filling
Refill engine with oil meeting the specific requirements
of the engine. Refer to TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS.​

Reinstall oil filler cap and dipstick.​

Thank you Joe Z! I really appreciate your assistance. What oil do you recommend? I see the owners manual states 10W40 oil meeting API SM,SL,or SJ classification. Does that mean a Mobile 1 or Castrol Oil would be fine?

yep...that'll be fine as long as it is within recommended specs.

Amsoil is what is used by many
