Hi. I'm curious. I changed my own oil in my cars and motorcycles and used synthetic oil, so I'm kind of familiar with oil changes. I changed the oil in my 2017 Yamaha cart. I believe the manual says don't use synthetic oil because of some "splash" process whatever that is. I'd prefer to use synthetic. Any advice?
Also, my first oil change on the Yamaha was done by the dealer (at my home). He used a pump to extract the oil. Afterwards I checked the oil and the color was not what you would expect from an oil change. The next time I did it myself and took all the oil out from the bottom. Later when I checked the oil it looked perfectly new. If I was going to get someone else to change it in the future I'd avoid the pump method. However, if you change your oil every year I guess it probably wouldn't really matter which method was employed. I guess I'm kind of a stickler. I like to know that I'm replacing as much of the old with as much as the new as possible.
