• YAMAHA 4-Stroke Outboa...
In this video, Josh will be doing an oil change for the upper end of a 2017 15HP Four Stroke Suzuki Outboard. This oil change is easy to do, it just takes some more time to take off the side cowling and replace the oil filter. We also forgot to include that you can run and warm up the outboard so that the oil will flow better while draining it. Make sure to change the seal around the screw when you change the oil. Of course, you don't have to, but that's what the owner manual recommends. This is also an excerpt from the owner's manual about how often to change the oil filter on this type of outboard: "The Engine oil filter must be changed by an authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer periodically. Replace engine oil filter with a new one at initial 20 hours (1 month). Replace engine oil filter with a new one at every 200 hours (12 months)."

I wouldn't recommend buying the oil filter from Amazon but I included the link just in case some of the other websites close or something happens. The other links are way cheaper for buying the filter and I once again recommend that you search around on the internet to look for the company/website/price you wish to buy the filter at. Thank you!

Josh, does the motor have to be warmed up prior to draining the oil?
So warm oil does flow better. So running the outboard for a few minutes can be beneficial. You would want to make sure the oil is warm and not too hot.
@@thecollegequarterdeck hi can you do a video on changing the thermostat on a Suzuki outboard please
@@thecollegequarterdeck hi, i have a question what are the probable causes of a Suzuky 15hp four stroke pump burning out? and what would be the solutions?
Thanks CQ. Your video was very helpful today to do the 200hr service. Could not have found the filter housing without your help. 👍
Happy to help! :)
Left my owners manual at the parts store while getting the proper lubes (oops!). Thanks for the tutorial, wasn't sure if the drain location for crank oil or if that big yellow twisty boi was in fact the fill. Thank you very much!
Glad we were able to help! 😎😁
Great job guys! Just bought a 16' aluminum with the DF 20 on it. I am doing the lube and oil changes, after watching your video, changing the fuel filter and also installing a fuel water separator as you have on your whaler. Was hoping you could do a impeller replacement video in the future with special attention to the shift linkage. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
We will be sure to add that to the list of videos that people are looking for! We only film what we are currently working on since we film at our job. An impeller would be a great video and we will be sure to let you know if/when we make one!
That oil was super clean
Yeah! 😂 We recently changed most of our suzuki's oil so we just used this one as a demonstration. We ended up leaving the filter as well since it we just changed it. 🤫
God i wish i was that Suzuki outboard
O.o
Thank you for this video. I just took delivery of a 2020 Suzuki DF20A outboard. I'm going to get it broken in, and then do the oil change on it at 20hrs as recommended by Suzuki.
You got yourself a great motor.....
Good to hear! Glad we were able to help! ☺️
@@thecollegequarterdeck A real nice feature is the motor will keep track of the hours and let you know (the red light on the front will blink) when its time to change the oil.
I have this same engine this is the video I needed to see thank you
It's a great outboard! 😊
Thankyou for this very helpful video.
You're welcome! ☺️
Great dude! Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
You're welcome! 😄 -Chris
Is suzuki ever going to design an oil change system that doesn't require taking the whole cowling apart? It seems Yamaha and Honda have been successful at this.
Good question. I do have to admit though, so far, it's a lot easier to clean the fuel system in a 20HP Suzuki than a 25HP Yamaha 😅 So we do appreciate how everything seems more accessible in the suzuki.
Thanks for the video. Helpful and well done.
.
Great video, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks for nice video. Can you show where are anodes on block of the motor? it seems there should be 2 of them
.
You're supposed to change both O-rings the one on the cap and the one behind the filter
Thats probably a good idea. :P
Can you please upload a video about building that motor stand? Thanks?
I wish! We should have filmed it when we put it together :P
Good video to watch before your first encounter with a suzuki outboard. Just bought a used df9.9a myself and the engine itself is identical. Maybe you would know the difference between the A and B models? I tried to find info about this on the net but no one seems to know...
hmmmm. I am not too familar with the difference between A and B models.
Nicely done! Thanks for doing these videos! Can you offer a suggestion where I can buy Suzuki oil filters & replacement drain plugs (including lower unit) for my 20 hp Suzuki . . . on-line?
We go to our local dealer and any parts that we may need. I'm not quiet sure where to recommend online.
Hi What program or school or place is this workshop? Are you part of a learning program or school? I'm interested. Thanks for awesome videos!!
This is located in Newport Beach at a Boy Scout Facility where we offer classes and merit badges. They are open to youth who are not in scouting as well.
I have an oil-alarm that beeps when I start the engine. Do you know how i can remove/reset the alarm after an oil change?
(1) Start the motor. Make sure that the motor is in Neutral and the throttle grip is fully closed.
Note: The engine stops when the engine stop button is pushed for more than 0.5 seconds.
(2) Push the engine stop button briefly three times within three seconds so that the engine does not stall.
The red OIL lamp is no longer lit when the reminder cancellation is successful.
very helpful and entertaining
We aim to make the content less dry 😄
I have a 2015 Suzuki 20 hp I do not know what gear oil it uses can you help me
.
I drained the oil from the Suzuki DF15 after about 10 hours. I left it in the bottle and after a few days a white precipitate formed from the oil at the bottom, a lot of it. What could it be and what cause could it be? New engine, only 10 hours old
I also see that at high speeds, white smoke comes out of this nozzle near the cooling water nozzle
I would recommend contacting a certified dealer and share your observations with them.
you should say the sizes of the tools you use
?
I believe there are two gaskets that should be replaced with the oil filter?
.
@@thecollegequarterdeck ?
@@bryand618 I am currently unable to check since I no longer work with these outboards at this facility, sorry!
I have the 9.9 and ready for the first oil change. How is the fuel filter fastened? Did you just pull it out of the way? Couldn't really tell when you did that part.
So the filter just sits there. Once you take the screws off to remove the plate, the filter should just come off. Did that answer your question?
@@thecollegequarterdeck I was referring to the fuel filter, but I figured it out. Also, I didn't realize that I couldn't take off just one plastic side panel....both need to be removed. Thanks for getting back to me.
How do I tell when I get to the 20 hour mark and it’s time for an oil change? Does it flash or alarm me? I have the same engine. Thanks for a very helpful video!
We recommend looking at the manual to confirm what yours says. From what we found on page 25 it says the following about the tiller hand model:
The Oil Change Reminder System Informs the operator of the time for replacing engine oil on the basis of the maintenance schedule.
The system is designed to register the total operating hours of the outboard motor and function its operation when the preprogrammed hours have been reached (Refer to the INSPECTION AND MAINTENACE section and the last page.)
When the total operating hours have reached the preprogrammed hours, the caution lamp will repeat until you cancel the system activation."
Hope that helps! On pages 24-25, it tells you how to reset the reminder system. The manual can also be found on Suzuki's website!

@@thecollegequarterdeck Thank y’all!
I changed my oil out and found a copper washer in the bottom of the waste oil, it does not appear to be leaking right now, do you think it will last 2 or 3 days and then I'm going to change the oil again, thoughts?
Definitely going to want to get a new washer and put it on.
@@thecollegequarterdeck I have the new washer, it fell into the waste oil, I'm just saying that I don't see it leaking anywhere and I think that it will last two days until i change it again
Where did you get that red plastic thing?
Unsure, we just found it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
its like a dr350 filter element - does the 2020 model have a screw on filter? - also great video.
We're glad you enjoyed it! We are not sure if the 2020 model has a screw on filter, but our 2016-2017 models do not. 😄
Hello. İ have 9.9 suzuki efi model. İ want to upgrade my motor to 20hp. How can i do it? İs it difficult to upgrade?
Thats a good question, but sadly we havent done that before so we can't really provide any advice on what it would require.
well you need to get the 20hp flash suppressor / restrictor plate. pop that in place of your old restrictor plate . and you need the 20 hp computer.
you can go from 9.9 to 15 by just drilling out the 9.9 restrictor plate no computer
you also may need to consider a new prop pitch
Can you make a video on how change of the engine brain on that engine type?
x tryhardParty x engine brain?
The computer inside the outboard?
I never saw the link to the lower end oil change...
Here's the link to the video:

Where did you order the oil filter from? And would it be detrimental to not change it ?
So we wanted to link on in the description, but we couldnt find one on Amazon. I will take a look. What I recommend doing is going to a local parts dealer for suzuki and contacting them about the filters.
I just copied and pasted this from the Owners Manual: "The Engine oil filter must be change by an authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer periodically. Replace engine oil filter with a new one at initial 20 hours (1 month). Replace engine oil filter with a new one at every 200 hours (12 months)." (Also I found some websites to buy filters. I just want to confirm the product number and we will be adding it to the description tomorrow!
Can I have the link to the video for the lower unit oil change?
Sure! Just skip to the 5 min. mark!

Were the bolts which holds on the oil filter cap exceptionally tight on your engine? Mine sure are.
Well we had someone strip the screws on one of the outboards so yes. Maybe if you sent the outboard in to get serviced, they may have over tightened the screws?
The College Quarterdeck It is brand new. First oil change. I got them out. No worries.
@@Moondog9322 Awesome! I'm glad it worked out!
Thank you very much for making this video. I just got the df9.9b and need to change at 20 hours. Do you have the torque value of the screws?
is the filter suposed to slide on to the metal tube inside or just butt up against it
.
What grade oil for 2015 suzuki 25hp outboard
We recommend checking the owners manual as it will have all that information regarding your specific outboard. We aren't 100% sure since we dont have that Owners Manual. For this 20HP Suzuki we used SAE 10-30 Yamalube.
What is the torque spec for those bolts on the oil filter cover? Thanks
.
Is there a way to check total engine hours on these?
Not that I'm aware unless you purchase a Suzuki Hour Meter and connect it to the outboard before you begin using it. We bought some for our Suzuki 20HP Wheel Drives. -Chris

Yes there is but is avaliable through the suzuki computer system. To get the exact hours you need to take it to the dealer and they can tell you the time that the motor has at different RPM ranges.
With a SMIS interface you can. I have mine hooked up to my Lowrance sounder and it shows all engine data on the fly.
fill from the bottom? why?
When you fill from the top, air bubbles can form so it may look like the lower end has been filed, but there is still air in the lower end. If you fill from the bottom and take out the upper screw, then the air can escape and you know with confidence that the lower end is completely filed! Hopes this helps!
You said the oil capacity was one liter. I've got the same engine, its one QUART
Oh that's odd. Our manual says 1 liter. Thankfully 1 quart is about .94 liters, so it's not far off.
@@thecollegequarterdeck I stand corrected sir. I purchased a new DF15A a week ago. The service mgr also sold me an oil filter and a quart of oil. Told me to use the entire quart, no more no less. Checked the owners manual and like you said, OIL CAPACITY: 1.0 L (1.1 US QT)
Great video Josh 👍
@@steves219 All good! I had to check my manual as well just to be sure. XD
Hello, I have a suzuki df15 but I think it has a limiter because I think it does not run with it, it should be how that limiter is removed
.
Gut das der so schlau ist und wir sind so dumm . 🤮
.
Bisa bahasa indonesia
Hello
No enciende y está nuevo
There could be a lot of reason for this. I would need more information.
Almost all of that was unnecessary and time consuming
So you can do it better?? Where's your maintenance video for this motor??? D BAG!!!
@BenReid Sureeeeee :3
