I have two identical jet skis, on both I changed the oil and oil filter about a month ago, adding 4 quarts of oil. the manual says 4.3-4.7 quarts if you change both all of the oil and the filter, so I wanted to top off the rest when I had a chance to run the skis. I ran one, everything worked fine, the oil level was perfect when I checked it. On the other jet ski, I ran it and it sounded even smoother than the first, but the oil level was a tad low, but still on the dip stick, so i topped it off a little.
Then I checked the air filters, and the first jet ski had a perfectly dry filter and filter box, while the second jet ski that was a little low on oil, had its air filter and air filter box soaked with motor oil!
I cleaned up the oil as much as I could, as my arm can fully reach into the air box. I have ordered new filters, but do I need to worry about something else?
I do not believe the jet ski was flipped over incorrectly ever, and not the last time I took it out....and the oil didn't seem like real dirty oil so it seems like it may have been the new oil we put in.
