How difficult is it to change the oil filter on oil tank on a 222. The motor is a OX66 250 hp Yamaha if it makes any difference. Thanks!
If you are referring to the secondary tank under the rear seat, it is not too bad.
You have to remove the 4 pin connector and then the oil output hose. To do that you have to snip the tie wrap.
There is a 10mm bolt on the forward side of the tank that holds down the bracket. That can be frozen some times so go carefully. Try turning back and forth if it doesn't come off easily.
Remove the top bracket and lift out the tank, straight up. It is heavy if full of oil.
The filter/screen is located on the back side at the bottom. You have to snip two small tie wraps and wiggle it off. Replace with new, making sure the arrow faces the correct way and retie.
Reassemble in reverse.
