    10 hrs too early for initial oil change?

    Had boat since mid February. I'm thinking it hs around 10 hrs on it. I've always did my initial oil change a little earlier than manual says. Is 10 hrs too early?

    I asked my dealer the same question and they recommended at least having 15 hours, but don't go past 22 hours for the initial oil change.

    I have no idea. I would take it to a dealer and have them see how many hours are on it to make sure. The break in time is up to 10 hours. The initial oil change is supposed to be 20 hours.

    sounds like I'll put another 4-5 hrs on it, then change it!

    Some motors have oil designed specifically for break-in from the factory. Not too sure about Suzy.
