1st oil change

[Yellowknife]

Okay, my dealer can't find an oil filter wrench for the Phazer's made by Yamaha.

Does anyone have a Yamaha Part Number?

Sears.com won't ship to Canada, and Sears.ca doesn't stock the craftsmen wrench, and will not get it from the U.S. for me.

Any help appreciated.

Contact Port Yamaha, they can get a after market wrench, that goes over the filter and uses a wrench or a ratchet, I think they are around $10 or $15, these filters are the same as on a Rapter if I am not mistaken.

I knew it was in that service manual, thanks for posting that, I was able to forward it to my dealer from work.

i get the kn147 for $10.00, the filter is great, comes with the 17mm nut welded to the top, real easy to take off

when removing the airbox, could someone give me some detail to what all is involved. Looks kinda complicated

We are hope to have our Phazer oil filter relocation kit finished up very soon. This will require removing nothing to change the oil filter!

Does it also work with the turbo wich has an oil filter/pipe adapter ?

i have 400 miles on mine and this is the last weekend before there wont be any snow, will it be ok for me to go to 600-650 without changing the oil and not running into future problems?

Surrrrrrrrre. Why not? If the filter clogs, pressure will drop and the motor will shut itself off. The oil's OK. Besides, all the break-in chunks and shavings should already be in the filter. Right?

I don't think that was been sarcastic, I think that it is up to you if you want to run your sled with break-in oil in it longer than you should! CHANGE YOUR OIL!! Do as your manual says 800 km!! Oil is cheap, Your engine is not!

its an hour drive to get an oil filter. i have 515 miles and the snow will be gone by tomorrow night...guess im done riding fr the season

You'll be fine. My goodness people, you'd think these things were made of silk and satin. Geez.

Yeah, I was half sarcastic. You'll be alright- maintenance schedules are pretty arbitrary anyway. Depends on how hard your engine is run. I would suggest being ahead of the game in the future, though. Ride, don't worry.
