l have two 2002 Honda jet skis.
AQUATRAX F-12x (ARX1200t3) with 27 hours
and AQUATRAX F-12. (ARX1200n3) with 16 hours

What type of oil is best for these jet skis. l know Honda wants me to buy theirs but l know there is better. The reason why is because the type of oil they want me to buy has old standards and l would like an up to date oil or a better version.

The oil Honda wants me to buy i......
(this is the standards) SG or higher, MA or MB

GN4 motorcycle SAE 10w-40 SJ. OR..
HP4 or HP4M motorcycle SAE10w-40 SJ

And what type of filter besides the stock filter can l get. if there is one. this is the stock # 15410-mfj-do1 or 15410-mcj-003.


You do not have to answer every thing just what you know will help me

thanks :)

l recommend u keep on buying OEM oil filter & OEM oil made for ur PWC's. That means keep using the oil Honda tells u to.

If ur PWC is r under warranty currently, do not use other oils or non OEM oil filters as this can void ur warranty.

l seriously doubt u will get better protection from buying another type of oil. In fact u might up causing more problems than solutions by buying a different type of oil.

There is only one oil my service shop will put recommend or even put in my Mercrusier engine, & that is Mercrury FC-W 25W-40 Engine oil.

In short, do what ur owner manual recommends u to buy. Do not try to experiment with different oils & risk ur engines. If in doubt, ask a service shop or PWC engine rebuilders that regularly deals with blown engines.
