hey guys, i recently purchased a 2006 challenger 180 and i want to change the engine oil just so i know it's done. it has the supercharged motor which i assume is the same as the pwc. i found a old post here on the boards that was very detailed on doing a oil change, but i wanted to make sure it applies to my boat as well. could you guys please give me a basic run down on changing my oil. i have some general knowledge on maint just from servicing my cars and Harley etc, but every engine seems to have it's own little tricks and i know some of you guys are very sharp when it come's to these seadoo's. so i would really appreciate some advice on the entire oil change process including your thoughts on which oil & filter to use.

thanks, Earle

Welcome aboard Fresno! I am no expert being new to boats myself, but the shop manuals are available from this site, and they do detail out the procedure. Where do you boat? We have a new link called Locations where you can add and see if there is anyone else in your area.

thanks Keith for the reply. we boat at Millerton lake, Pine flat lake, and now with the seadoo boat the Kings river. we have a big cat that we take to the lake, but we always try to have a jet boat or pwc for the river near the house, so this year we will enjoy the challenger on the river. i took the seadoo out today for a basic test run at the lake to make sure everything worked before i put it in the river with a current, the seadoo boat worked flawless! here is a quick pic of my cat and the seadoo, if anyone from this area see's either boat pull up and say hello. i still need some opinion's on which oil and filter to run in the seadoo, as well as helpful tips on the oil change precedure
