19 Sidewinder 500 mile service


Oil and filter change, only 3 qts needed?

Does anyone have the part # for the oil change kit?
Checked online (Yamaha U.S. website) and no listing for SW.

Owners manual is calling for 0w-30 semi synthetic.
Are you guys running the full synthetic 0w-40 instead?

Does the oil, oil filter and 2 o-rings have to be purchased separate for the winders?

Thanks for the help!
First turbo for me guys...

Arctic cat has a oil change kit, comes with oil, filter and o-rings.
 
I believe that Yamaha suggests the 0/40 oil now on the sidewinder. But lots of different guys running different oil

Which thread had the the oil test & gave ratings on the wear resistance?
 
Looks like the same jug, but in Canada they are one liter.

Yep 3 quarts, one oil filter, one o ring and one copper washer.
Have been using the semi syn since I first got my 2017 Winder, and had to buy all separate from dealer.

This year they had the oil change kit, but only in full syn 0/40. Was told that Yamaha now recommends the full syn 0/40, so that is what I bought. I do not think it makes much difference to someone like me who changes oil every season and only puts on 1500- 2000 miles per year.
Years ago it was said that you needed to break in motor before switching to full syn. Now many cars and trucks come with full syn from factory, so there goes that myth. But then again I have more time for riding now, so may need the longevity oil life of full syn.
 
I used this Arctic cat kit. Came with everything. Might try k&n filter next time with Mobil 1 or amsoil
