I have gotten my oil changed at Tire Choice but suggesting Mobile Golf Cart Garage
Quote:
I recently had a problem with one of my carts and called Mobie Golf Cart Garage at 352-299-3270. They came to my house and repaired the cart in about 30 minutes (bad wiring connection). The guy is a certified Yamaha tech. Does the yearly maintenance (not just an oil change) for $80 plus has a host of other services like seat belts and lights. I'm going to use this guy for my maintenance when due. |

I change my own. Its easy, keeps me busy, and it cost less. The only hassle is hauling old oil to be recycled.

Oil Change and disposal
Looking for your advice and expertise. I’m looking at changing the oil in my own golf cart but have a question, where can you dispose of the old oil and what type of container does it need to go into when disposing of it? Thanks.

If Yamaha, it hold one quart.you drain it out and pour it back into I quart container (a or any container threat will not leak)(milk jug, oil oil can container, empty Landry soap container) and take that to any store that sells oil, preferably the one you brought the quart of oil from, it it don’t matter all will take the used oil by law and the sell the used oil to be refined.

Use it for bar oil on your chain saw.

Oil plug is not so easy on a Yamaha Quietec. There are items under the cart that must be removed in order to get access to the oil drain plug. I bought an oil sucker from Amazon for about twelve bucks, so I don't need to get to the plug at all. Instead of paying $70 for an oil change, I do it for less than $10.

On Quietech carts, more difficult to change oil due to fact they have a shield under the engine. Bought $15 hand pump and a quart of oil. Took me 10 minutes, job done and good for another year.
Make sure suction hose is very small as it does need to go down into oil level stick. I did need to reduce suction hose so that it fit into oil stick hole. $2.00 in parts from Ace. |

I learned something the other day, if you bring your cart to The Villages Golf Carts for an oil change they don’t drain your oil, they pump it out. I know this because I went there to by a new crush washer for the oil drain plug so I could change the oil in our cart. They didn’t have any in stock, which I found extremely odd? They explained that they didn’t need to carry the part since they pump the oil in the carts they service.

If you use Amsoil small engine oil, once per year should be perfectly adequate.
