2024 DIY: Our 2007 Yamaha AR230 Gets An Oil Change

February 5, 2024. The oil from the dipstick of our 2007 Yamaha AR230 was visually clear. But I wanted to prepare the jet boat for the boating season ahead with fresh synthetic 5W40 engine oil. With the old oil being clean, I found it a waste to replace the oil filters on the twin engines. They were not replaced at this time. This video demonstrates how I extracted the old oil before refilling with fresh oil.
