Oil Change 09 Nytro ?

[PzeroGt]

Did some searching and not finding much. When draining oil do you drain both the oil can and the crank case drain? Also is it the same oil. I’ve searched trying to buy “crankcase oil” and have had no luck. My Skidoos were always separate oil. Thanks

yes same oil and yes drain both and put the required amount of engine oil back into the sled at the tank.

X2 same oil for both. Also drain both. What I do is I pour 3 qts. in the oil tank, start the sled and let it run for a minute or 2 and the oil light will come on. At that point shut the sled off and add oil until its between the marks and you are good to go.

if you buy the oil change kit from Yamaha they will have everything you need in the box along with instructions

There's a plug on the bottom of the oil pan with a little triangle by it. If you look closely you'll see the copper crush washer on it. Also remove the plug in the bottom of the oil tank. Once the oils all out I'll tip the sled on its side for a bit both ways and I can always drain a little more out. New filter plugs installed and fill with 3 litres. Run it and top up as needed. Mine will usually hold 3.4 litres. I run Yamaha filter and yamalube 0W40 in mine. It is more expensive but being I only change it once a year I don't feel to bad about it. Dealer usually cuts me a break on it as I buy it by the case usually.

There are some good threads on this in detail too that are helpful, my Frontend + thread shows the process and pics somewhere in the middle of what was supposed to be a simple front end update! lol. Not.
