New to me seadoo bombardier gtx millennium edition, wondering what type of fuel and oil to put in. And how to know when to stop putting oil in.
 
Your ski requires only API-TC rated full synthetic, never TCW-3 oil. You can use Mystic, Seadoo XPS 2T E-TEC or Amsoil Interceptor.

For fuel 87 octane is what seadoo requires unless it is a DI (Direct Injected) model then 91 octane and non ethanol is better if you have it available.

I have a 2000 GTX DI and the manual does not specify premium fuel. I was surprised. Just says 87.

I put tcw-3 in it already... It's not starting up anymore would that be the problem?
 
Time to drain the oil system, install a new oil filter and put the correct oil in. The DI is a lean burn 2-stroke which is not a match made in heaven as it is so use only the correct oil.
 
The GTX stickers on the rear of the hull will say "Direct Fuel Injection" and the engine will have a big fuel rail on top that says "Direct Fuel Injection".

I have determined that it is a gtx limited, and that the oil I put in is not the right kind, how should I go about taking it out? I have an oil siphon but I don't know how I would get it out of the engine. Also because it was tipped over in the water yesterday I am wondering if that has something to do with it not starting.

You need to drain the oil tank and the oil lines leading up to the oil pump and remove the oil filter and replace it with a new one. Next you need to put the correct oil in the tank to flush out the remaining old oil then install the new oil filter. Finally open the bleed screw on the oil pump until the correct oil flows out then you are good to go.

I would pull the spark plugs, ground the spark plug cables on the electrical box posts and crank it over and make sure no water comes out.

Finally a GTX Limited is a 1998-1999 not a 2000 model year. The last 2 digits of the VIN/HIN are the model year of your ski.
