SkunkedAgain Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 My oil light went off two weeks ago, to tell me that I'd hit one of the milestones on my boat motor to change the oil. I was about to do a weeklong trip so I changed the oil prior to leaving so that I wouldn't have to see the oil light flashing the entire week.When I change my gear oil and do all of my winterization, should I still change my engine oil even though it was just changed?It's a 2009 Suzuki 90hp 4-stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 If it were my boat/motor, I would changed it again if it's gonna sit for a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spearchucker Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 It would be a waste of good oil to change it. Nothing wrong with leaving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I agree with not changing it as long as it looks ok on the dipstick-no moisture.I do change mine twice a year only because oil is cheap and it is good protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
