![]() I just don't believe that this would be detrimental to the oil system or the engine components. There is still oil in the crankcase and the oil tank and the rest of the system. Removing the filter and dumping it still leaves some oil in the filter. I would have to believe that the engineers that design these oiling system have figured out a way to protect the engine on startup. When doing an oil change the new filter is installed dry as it is on most car engines with the same horizontal type filter. This should allow almost instant lubrication when the pump builds pressure in the system. On an oil drain there is still 1 qt of oil left in the engine and I suspect it is in the oil chamber. The pump is always in oil even when doing an oil change. The filter does sit horizontal on this engine and the oil is picked up by the pump in the pumps own chamber. They may do it on a brand new engine but I don't see it mentioned when doing an oil change. No where can I find where Yamaha recommends preoiling the filter. Works for me, try it, its cheap and it may work for you too. Get 10 feet of line (I use to buy it in multiple sizes by the 100ft spool for my dealership) or so, cut it long enough to be able to thread in into the tank as you either suck on the end of the hose lightly (my method) till you feel the oil resisting the air flow thru the tube or hook it onto the syringe and pull a vacuum in the tube as you feed the line in, when you get resistance just start pulling on the plunger until you get the amount out you need. Get the big ones that take the big needles so you can use small clear fuel line (usually available at the same ag store but if not, check your local small engine shop) slid over the nipple that the needle screws onto. I have used them for cleaning carbs thru the drains a lot but use to use them a lot for setting fork oil on my dirt bikes back when I was racing and have also used them for doing exactly what you are talking about, overfill and/or topping off to perfecting everything from crankcase oil to tranny/rear end fluids (takes a lot of time with 90w), radiators and hydraulics too. Go to 5:10 and start there in this vid to see the horse/ag syringe that I would deploy to do the job Lawman. ![]() Maybe a turkey baster would work.Īnyone ever had this situation and found a fix? My wife suggested using a spray bottle top but I think the oil might be too thick to pump out that way. I live in the desert and am using yamalube 20-50 to help with heat. Any suggestions on how to remove some oil out of the tank? I overfilled it just a bit after finding it very low when the dealer changed out my break-in oil. ![]()
