Nice work. Note: Even though you extracted 3 quarts the oil pan is a carryover from the 1.8L which is 4 quarts. Now, four quarts will read about a quarter of an inch overfull because Yamaha has shortened the dipstick tube by that amount so that you will only put 3 quarts in. It’s their way of being “green” . I put 4 quarts in mine.

You forgot to mention to warm up the engine first. You also forgot to mention to put a little oring on the new gasket. Also to make sure the old gasket didnt get stuck on engine side. Good job by the way.

Same oil if I have 24 vx ? Also first service do I need to change spark plugs

[@balloon68]

Thanks. I would like to see how to do a complete 100 hour on the same model.

I’m picking up a VX HO soon, which has a hull material cross bar above the engine. Do you know if that comes out or will always be in the way when working on the engine?

[@Watercraftshack]

It’s very simple to take the cover off of the vx. Just remove 7 6mm Allen screw. If you want to see how to take the cover off go look at my oil change video on the GP1800R it will be the same process

So I was looking at the Yamaha website at the center console boats and the 252 FSH has twin 1.9ho engines and it lists their oil capacity at 3.7l, which goes with what you said. How do we contact Yamaha on figuring out what is actually correct?!?😂😂😂

[@Watercraftshack]

@@mhmetts3 I will try and find Yamaha corporate number or email and contact them to see

[@mhmetts3]

@@Watercraftshack thanks🙌🏽

[@LifeBeginsOnTheWater]

Great Job and illustration! I’m sure I wasn’t the only one waiting to hear how many quarts you pulled out. I still need to service my new girl. I think I’m at 13 hrs.

[@Watercraftshack]

Thanks for watching, I have a video on spark plugs next week

Love the content. Hard to find jet ski how to vids

[@fredpoulin5503]

Can you tell us what is the KW rating of this new engine ? Written on the sticker inside the hull. I know it’s around 200hp , but I want to know the exact number Yamaha advertise on the label . Thanks

[@Watercraftshack]

I will check today and let you know

Nice looking engine bay

You forgot to put oil around the Black O ring gasket on the new filter before you put it on. Thats gonna be fun to take off in the next 50 hours!

[@Watercraftshack]

I oiled the O-Ring when I prefilled the filter. I didn’t record it for the video but I probably should have 🤦🏼

[@sethg.4127]

@@Watercraftshack What do you mean you prefilled the filter? How much do you put in? How does it not spill out when you turn the filter on its side to install it? Do you subtract this amount of oil from the 3 quarts you put in at the end?

[@Watercraftshack]

@@sethg.4127 I fill it about half full of oil, some oil will likely spill I just clean it up after

[@kevinmosser5969]

The 1.9l engine has the same god awful oil pan as 1.8l But now requires one less quart of oil… know how???? A longer dipstick….. add that to the oil pan design and it’ll cause tons of engine issues. Yamaha needs to do better

[@Watercraftshack]

Agree I think they should increase oil capacity. Time will tell how good this engine will be

[@mhmetts3]

I'm pretty sure with a filter change, it requires like 4.5 quarts. When I went to the dealership to get the oil change kit, the 2024 FX 1900 is under the watercraft 4 category and I had to purchaser 1 extra qt separately

[@Watercraftshack]

@@mhmetts3 interesting, keep me updated on how much oil you extract I’m curious to know. I wonder if the dealer input something wrong. Everything I’ve seen has been 3-3.5 quarts is all anyone can get out.

[@mhmetts3]

@Watercraftshack just looked at the yamaha website and it shows total oil capacity as 4.3l which is 4.5qt

[@Watercraftshack]

@@mhmetts3 good info, keep me updated with how much you are able to get out. Thanks for the comment
