nice
Hey guys welcome back
my name is Josh
and today we’re going to be doing an oil change
on a 2017 Suzuki outboard
so the first thing we need to do
we need to take off the cowl
and we need to take off the rubber piece
the rubber seal that is on top
so the first thing that we’re going to do
we’re going to change the upper oil
and
we’re going to need to do three steps
one we’re going to take off this side panel
for easier access to drain the oil
step two is going to be draining the oil
and step three is changing the oil filter
the cowling is held on by six screws
three on this side
one
two
and three
and three on the other
one two and three
we’re going to be using our electric ratchet to undo all six screws
starting on this side
okay now that we’ve gotten our cowling off
we’re going to now drain the oil
to prepare for draining the oil we’re going to lay down some oil diapers
just in case we spill any on the floor
the next thing we’re going to need
is a ratchet and our Allen socket
and we’re going to use that to loosen the bolt here
and drain the oil
I’m going to undo it just a little bit
and then get our bucket positioned underneath
and we’re going to just loosen it
make sure not to lose the bolt in the oil
because that’d be pretty messy
and we’re just going to let it drain all the way out
so now that the oil is done draining
we’re going to wipe this off
so now we’re going to change the oil filter
we need to move this fuel filter out of the way
and now we have a few tubes in the way
we’re going to take them out
you don’t have to remove these tubes
but we find easier that way you don’t get oil on them
now that’s off you can pull this off
pull it down out of the way
and now we have access to the oil filter
Moving on
We're going to take off this panel right here
but first we're going to put this plastic board here
to help funnel the oil that’s left in there
back into our oil bucket
so we’re going to take this off
now we have access to the oil filter
so we’re going to use just a regular flat head screw driver
just to help pull out the filter
nice
as you can see here
our seal for the plate came off
so we’re going to take it off
and put it back on the plate
We're going to now put a new filter in
the filter has a hole
and we’re going to
install the filter with the hole facing the engine
the plate has an arrow on it
and that arrow is going to be directed downward
put the plate back on
now that we’ve got our plate back on
we’re going to put back out fuel filter and our tubes that we took off
the next thing we’re going to do
we’re going to refill the engine
we have our oil and our funnel
and we’re going to slowly fill it
take that off
and you should always check the owners manual
or the side of the engine
at how much you need to refill them
for this engine it is one liter
and then onto the lower end
we already covered how to change the lower end on a outboard
in our last video
so we’re not going to bore you with those details here
we’re going to leave a link to our other video
that will be somewhere over there
but just for reference
the two screws are going to be
right here
and right here
remember to fill from the bottom
*drops tool like a fool*
alright now that we’ve gone over everything with our oil change
we’re going to now put the side cowling back on
one thing to make sure
is that on the side cowling there are these little tabs
you want to make sure those line up
as well as this little indentation here
you want to make sure that the rubber is properly fed into it
and it fits on perfectly
before you start tightening everything down
making sure our last one goes in smooth
perfect
one thing to note with this one
I threaded this on first with my hands
so I did not cross thread
and then I went on to use the electric socket
so we’re going to put back on our seal
the last thing on
that about wraps up our oil change video
