Suzuki DF250AP Maintenance

[seaboyblue]

Hello Everyone. My DF 250 is going into it's 3rd season this month. Wondering how simple it will be to do the Maintenance Kit Services. I'v previously had a Yamaha 250 four stroke and just wondering how simple a suzuki would be compared to the Yamaha. I would feel better if I have a service manual. Where would I find this manual? My only concern is muting the 100 hr alarm. Can this be done via the gauge or should a tech come in to "plug in" the laptop to my system?

Questions for you all:

• What oil should I use for main engine? I'm a Lucas Oil freak. Synthetic? Semi? Non Synthetic?
• Is it relatively simple to service compared to the Yamaha 250?
• Where can I find the Service Manual?

Thanks in advance

Still under warranty? If so then I’d use Suzuki marine oil. I can’t compare Yamaha to Suzuki since my only experience with Yamaha is ATV and a dirt bike back in the day. Service manuals you should be able to purchase on this site, see top of page “Buy Suzuki Outboard Parts”. I have a 2009 DF90A and all the maintenance parts that come with the maintenance kit are fairly easy to access. The impeller is a bit of work to get to but nothing too complicated. There is a procedure to reset the oil change reminder, mine is with the kill switch, your owners manual should explain that procedure along with the oil change directions.

Also there is a stick thread near the top with links to service manual part numbers, you can then use that to find it in the Buy Suzuki Parts section.
