They charge $50, but with an oil change syphon I can quickly do the oil change for the price of the oil. There is no oil filter, so I don't see paying $50, unless doing it yourself voids the warranty.

Thoughts? Will doing it myself void the warranty or do I just need to document when I did it and show proof I bought the oil each time?

I owned a boat for years with no access to the drain and suctioned the oil out was never a problem.
Thats good to know, thanks. I've never used one, but it sounds like it's a good way to go on a golf cart.
