Why spend hundreds of dollars and time having each oil change performed at the dealer? With a small upfront cost of purchasing the tools required to do the job yourself, you can save yourself hundreds (if not thousands) over the life of your boat!

15W-40 Oil rated for gasoline engines. NOTE: Rotella T-6 does not have the required SJ/CH4 gasoline API rating like Delo 400XLE (which has SN/CK-4, which is better than the required ratings). I prefer synthetics over conventional, but either are great if you change your oil every 25-50 hours. Delo 400XLE Synthetic Blend used in video:
Delo 400 XLE conventional (still SN/CK-4 rated) is available with this link:

Thanks for making this video, very helpful. Did you ever end up making one for the trans fluid change?

[@hooksBBQ]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I didn’t make one for the transmission, although I changed out my transmission fluid and filter this past spring. I used the same 15W-40 I did in the engine for the transmission per the MCX engine manual. Here’s the transmission manual, good info on page 27. Hardest part was finding a funnel that made it easy to put oil down the dipstick hole on the left of the transmission (seriously, I spilled a bit, but with a better funnel it would’ve been easy). Took out the filter assembly on the right, put the oil suction through the filter hole, put a new filter assembly back in, filled with oil, easy as that!

Yes I agree great video! Always helpful to watch someone that has already done an oil change on this type of motor! But same I was waiting for the trans filter that you mentioned in the beginning of the video. I was like … wait did I miss when he did it lol!
