YAMAHA 4-Stroke Outboard Oil Change (25HP)

In this video, Chris will be doing an oil change for the upper and lower end of a 2015 25HP Four Stroke Yamaha Outboard. Oil changes are a simple service that is required for your outboard to ensure its longevity. Chris walks us through step by step while explaining the reason we do it the way we do. Don't forget to leave any questions you may have in the comment section down below!
Here at the college quarterdeck, we aim to make videos that are easy to follow and cut out the unnecessary footage that is often found during these types of videos. Hopefully, you find our videos straight to the point and refreshing!

    Excellent instruction video, only lacking; starting the engine to fill the oil filter and rechecking oil level. Also, while on the lower end, remove the prop and check for fish line on the prop shaft that can damage the oil seal. Very well done.

    It is a privilege to watch talented young people share the valuable skills they have learned and pass on the knowledge they have. Very cool, and thank you for a great video! Here are two "tips" I recently picked up regarding this particular job. Evaluate them yourself and see if they are worth including in your own skill set. First tip is to prefill the oil filter before you place it on the engine. Inside the oil filter is specially treated filtration paper. When you prefill the oil filter that filtering material soaks up the oil; you can actually pour a surprisingly amount of oil into the filter then install the filter without have any of the oil you put into the filter leak out. The advantage in doing this step is that lubricating oil gets to your engine's critical surfaces faster following the oil change because the oil doesn't have to first fill up the filter, then soak through the filtering material before passing on through the filter to the internal critical surfaces. The second tip is to put some (heavier duty) tape on the skeg below the lower oil drain/fill hanging off the skeg straight down. Then when the oil drains instead of running all the way down the skeg it starts down the skeg and then transitions to the tape and drips off the tape into whatever you are using to collect the old gear case oil. - Respectfully

    Great question! We got it from our local parts/outboard dealer here in Newport Beach. You can buy the pump online and should be listed as a "Yamaha Outboard Lower Oil Pump". You want to look for the same pump size for your container. We use this lower gear case oil/pump for different types of outboards so the threads don't always match, so you may want to check your thread size as well. Hope this helps!
