Default Changing oil

How often do you change your cart's oil? Every "X" hours, once a year, etc.? Do you DIY or take it somewhere?

Default Re: Changing oil

I suggest twice a year if you use it regularly, maybe more if you use it a whole bunch, like several hours a day for work.

I do my own, and everyone else's, I work at a yamaha dealer.

Default Re: Changing oil

after the first 100 hours, every 200 hours or once a year has been what I have stood by for years. There are always harsh use conditions, so use your best judgement.

A service on a golf car is more than just an oil change. Every golf car has problem areas, knowing those areas and addressing them can save you hundreds of dollars in future repairs. DIYers, make me a lot of money, as they don't know the problem areas and then those parts go to failure and they have to call in a professional. Most shops don't hire golf car techs anyway, so you get some guy that just needs a job for awhile. Use your best judgement.

What model? Its very easy to change. Im getting better on oil change schedule. Before it was 2.5 years. Use full synthetic oil here. Now its going to be once a year. Use cart about every day and year round. Even in the winter.
