Seadoo oil change on a 2018 300GTX

[@evotech_built]

Somethings to add make sure to only run the ski 30-90 seconds because the carbon wear ring doesn’t get water when hose is hooked up and it will over heat. Also if you pull the oil pump tube out a little you can hold the throttle and hold the start button the ski will crank only and this will allow excess trapped oil in the passages to be flowed down to the bottom of the pan then tube pump again!

[@dominickdelduco2471]

Forgot to manually crank the engine ( depress throttle and start button) doing this allows engine oil to flow into oil filter compartment. Do this until ALL all oil is out.

[@Herooftheday64]

Good way to wreck your carbon seal. The manual says to never run it over 90 seconds even if it's on the hose, because the seal gets no cooling.

[@larky368]

5 minutes! That thing must have been red hot. All you have to do is spray through the intake grate to get some water to the carbon seal.

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

Yikes..Carbon seal..spendy fix..no need to run, eva..just turn it over, holding throttle down for count to 5-10 at start, and 2-3X during oil removal..should get 2-2.5 qts..and replace the star-nut O-ring on the Cap, also👍

[@craigaustin4779]

I got one of those last week, a similar pump failed after about 10 changes. Hopefully this one is more durable, but compared to dealer oil change prices ,you could buy a new pump for every oil change.

[@larky368]

Next time you have the deck off and you need to run the engine for a long time try pointing a hose through the intake grate towards the front to get water down the shaft to the carbon seal. You can reach down and feel the steel flange that spins on the carbon seal and see how much cooler it is.

[@MAX_max_2024]

Bob, very informative! Would be great to see the winterization & de-winterization procedures, or possibly have it explained to mechanic (similarly how you've done with stones damage on your sea doo).

[@bobsudeyko4088]

One thing. When warming up your Seadoo only run it for 1 to 1.5 minutes.

[@richardnagrabski9301]

Informative? Wrong information all around. Using used oil to lubricate the new ORings was the icing on the cake for epic fail. This guy is a hack..

[@rickmoohs9619]

​@@richardnagrabski9301Are you serious? Do you really think using a miniscule amount of used oil on a oring is going to affect anything 😂😂

[@shmontrostov]

Per Users Manual, you should not be running it more then 2 minutes - Drive line seal has no cooling when watercraft is out of water. Please correct me if I am wrong?

[@Ipera78]

That was the first thing that came to mine mind, 5min sounds like a lot,

[@DougsMessyGarage]

I’m going to have to that job twice in the not too distant future

[@jacksonvillejetriders6529]

Do oil changes after a ride. Already to a good temp for removal without stressing the carbon seal

[@jimmymusignac1831]

You warmed the Ski for 5-7 minutes, that is a no no in a SeaDoo. Then you used dirty oil to lubricate the O-rings, wow. Your next video should be how to replace the carbon ring.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Everyone needs a Nathan! Great video. Do you happen to have a link for the pump you used or the name maybe? Thank you!

[@bobsudeyko4088]

It’s stored away in the seadoo for the winter. I just searched on Amazon and found it there.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks for responding. I think I found it.

[@nike12000haha]

Maybe i missed it but should put it in drown mode and crank then Re suck the crank case

[@HugoAlmeidaJr]

Bob, really nice job. Own two of theses same 300 Limited skis and maybe now will attempt to do the next oil change myself!

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Fairly simple. Particularly after you have done it once. Just make sure at the end of it all that the dip stick measurement is right. Let it run for 3 to4 minutes to get an accurate reading. If to much suck a little out. At the dealership the cost is high but even more of an issue is that you might have to weight weeks without your machines.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Wait

[@szeldov]

@@bobsudeyko4088 From my 2019 GTX manual: NOTICE Never run engine longer than 2 minutes. Drive line seal has no cooling when watercraft is out of water.

You should be doing it yourself

[@curtisrice5100]

Well bob . Just wondering . Did it end up ever sinking ? Notice a lot of people were saying your carbon seal may be toast for running that long out of water !??

[@bobsudeyko4088]

No problem with the carbon seal. I probably only ran it for about three minutes. It is correct however that it really shouldn’t be run for much longer than that. I misspoke when I said 5 minutes.

[@richardnagrabski9301]

You misspoke during the entire video. Stick to what you do best..

[@azr2d1]

@@richardnagrabski9301 I agree. Let a pro (or backyard mechanic with at least a few oil changes under his belt) do the work. He also didn't change the small O ring. FAIL.

[@mogulpro]

Is that double LinQ platform aftermarket or did you make it ? PS- Nice video. We ride all the same places but never bumped into ya.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

It's aftermarket. You can find more about it here. facebook.com/BSDesigns4PWC It's kind of expensive for what it is. Not the companys fault. Mostly exchange and if you are unlucky at the border you may get hit with duty charges. Almost 600 Cdn for me. Built well and works well.

[@user-il6cy8mi9n]

Helpful thnx

[@bflinders7275]

Hey from Oz, I like your extra platform, did I miss the video on it? Which one is it and can you put two linQ items at once with the full seat on?

[@bobsudeyko4088]

facebook.com/BSDesigns4PWC Thats the link to the guys who make it in I think florida. It's expensive. Their price isn't to bad but then theres the exchange rate the shipping cost and if you luck out maybe a duty cost. For me the whole thing was almost 600 Cdn by the time I got it. Yes you can carry the top case the cooler and extra gas with the back seat on. I think it works pretty good and now I can bring everything with me if i want too. Tell the guys Yukon Bob referred you if you go for it.

[@bflinders7275]

Thanks Bob! I will look in to it. Thanks for your videos!@@bobsudeyko4088

[@Maliken1992]

Hello Bob, just curios why did you heat up the oil before changing it?

[@bobsudeyko4088]

It just allows it to be more viscous and then makes it easier to drain more of it. Should not run the engine more than about two minutes.

[@Maliken1992]

@@bobsudeyko4088 thanks, I bough the same pump on amazon it works great.

[@azr2d1]

@@bobsudeyko4088 Ideally you do this after a day at the lake. Drive it home and change the oil right away. It should be nice and warm still. Doing an oil change end of season (when it's colder) will suck, especially with the synth blend oil. Use full synth.

[@bobsudeyko4088]

Just so that it change the viscosity a little and allow it to flow a little more easily.

[@jrdaviskid]

Does the oil filter container secure flush? I’ve tried several times and there is a small gap every time

[@bobsudeyko4088]

It should just spin on to a little beyond hand tight. There is a rubber seal that also needs to be in place where the filter meets the engine. I have not noticed a gap once it’s tightened a little beyond snug.

[@jrdaviskid]

@@bobsudeyko4088 thanks Bob. I still see a small gap. Is there a rubber seal other than the o rings?

[@bobsudeyko4088]

@@jrdaviskid no there is just the one rubber ring. It’s not really an o ring as it is flat. The old ring that is already on there needs to be removed. Sometimes the rubber seal that is on there will stick on the engine mount and will not come off with the filter. Only one ring at a time is used.
