How to replace gear oil in lower unit (outboard motor)

[@eg8475]

Lousy background noise, but one of the most perfect videos depicting an outbard gear-oil change i have ever seen. kudos!

[@lanetaylor3861]

Great walk through! Just curious, where can you get those screw seals?

[@miketylertampa]

you make this look relatively easy, thanks for the tips!

[@andrewfreeman88]

You do the top screw first and then setup a drip pan below...then change out the washers every time..if they crack no party is over..

[@jayroo10]

did u start your engine for 5 mins before you commenced draining the oil?

[@alexMkwoka]

Need to open top plug back up after tightening the bottom one and top off all the oil lost until it over flows again.

[@nickcaesar7650]

That creates air bubbles, the Yamaha owner’s manual does not say to do that for that reason.

[@markcannon6200]

good video and any oil is any 80w/90 gear oil or hypoid 90

[@thomasmckenzie4584]

"Once you screw in the top screw, it creates a vacuum so oil won't come out the bottom hole." Takes finger off bottom hole. Oil comes pouring out.

[@joerillarilla8524]

Well guys he makes it look easy cause it kinda is.the hardest part of this job is getting the screws loose..ps don't lose them lol..

[@aydenmcclara4145]

Is there a possible way I could do this without the specific tool

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Yes just get the proper screw driver and you can get the pump at Walmart just make sure you get a 32oz bottle of gear lube and the correct gear lube for your outboard it's easy to do👍😊

Oh my God...I just met a vvvv young ,,that boat guy"...how old r u fellow in the up footage? 18 years old... Good luck!!!

What is the frequency for changing this oil on a yamaha 2 stroke 9.9

[@Steel3423]

1 year or 200 hours

[@123jfk123jfk]

Honestly I’ve heard of people doing this every 100 hours to as little as every 70 hours

[@christianrousseau5066]

Is it normal that oil is coming out of that litle hole under your oil level screw?

[@andrewfreeman88]

no he didn't do it right..

[@williamhussey7273]

He did it correctly

[@robdouang2902]

I see you used a brand that is not yamalube. Has it ever caused damage to your lower unit or does it perform the same?

[@ThatBoatGuy]

you do not have to use yamaha lube any oil will do

[@ReinierS]

Do you get your sealing/gasket at your local dealership or online? I cant find a replacement for my plugseals ;(

[@YoloHansen]

Reinier Schippers what kind a motor do you hafe?

[@steveeastwood5967]

Ebay !

[@adishjagessar384]

Can you like fill vice versa

[@brianduia9746]

Hey thanks man really help alot

[@pearljett331]

Thank you

[@mendezjc77]

Why wouldnt you pump from top and have the screw in at the bottom?

[@mambizzle4606]

mendezjc77 so the oil doesn’t mix with air, if you pump it from the bottom the oil rises to the top oil level plug pushing the air out

[@bodiwatson8892]

mendezjc77 you should! D’oh!

[@neutralmind6047]

Bodi Watson no you shouldn’t doh

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Always pump from the bottom never the top

[@bluejuice7229]

Also because gear oil is a heavy oil, try pouring it in through a staw from the top hole(!) It will really suck... and you get lots of air bubbles trapped in the oil so.... much quicker and less bubbles bottom up.

[@luckyluke33]

engine is not level

[@adishjagessar384]

Can you fill it from the top

[@YoloHansen]

adish jagessar no

[@tomstarcevich1147]

No always pump from the bottom

[@sotheamam1244]

Why not fill from top..why you do you did

[@gibson8300]

With a pump you would have the system sealed and air would be forced into the bottle. Filling from bottom helps ensure most air is out

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Always fill from the bottom

[@andreykuzbas2085]

эмульсия?

[@Evil-Jesus]

Should be level

[@goodmanehs]

I have always fill from the top, never had a problem in 30 years......

[@rickpalmer965]

It seems like that would be the easiest way to do the job and not lose any oil

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Always pump from the bottom

[@nickcaesar7650]

That’s like saying “I’ve smoked for 30 years and haven’t got cancer” Yamaha says NOT to pump from top as it creates air bubbles. You always pump from the bottom...call your local Yamaha dealer and ask...

When you are already on the video, you eat your teeth beforehand, not brush your pigs out of your teeth, watch the video and you will hear how it feels. Without resentment, it is disgusting to the senses

[@garypugh1153]

O.k. i watched. I will do mine now..,,.....go get an ice cold corona now 🇺🇸

[@446983225]

Stop making those sounds..
