adamr Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is a dumb question but I have a 5 year old 9.9 mercury 4 stroke kicker do I have to change a filter and motor oil? what kinda oil thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPackerNut Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah, I would recommend doing that annually every spring. Your owners manual should specify the service intervals and type of oil recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeJ_Mn Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I used to have a Yamaha 8hp 4 stroke kicker. Changed the oil every fall before putting it away and at least once during the summer.It's cheap insurance to have trouble free fishing. Just make sure you buy the right oil - don't go with the cheap stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmitty Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey Jake, I have the same motor. I change the oil myself but have never changed the oil filter... if there is one. There is nothing in the owners manual about a oil filter. Any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
