The boat is equipped with 1 Suzuki Digital SMIS gauge. two alarm tones sounded at startup at sea yesterday, " Change oil alarm" was displayed in text.
After silencing the alarm, a small rectangular symbol remained showing "P oil"
I would have guessed that that the letter "P" would have something to do with pressure, not a routine oil change.
2014 0 hrs boat delivered new
2014 20 hrs 20 hour service at dealer
2015 64 hrs oil changed by owner
2016 162 hrs oil changed by owner
2017 189 hrs "change oil alarm" displayed
It seems a bit strange that the alarm comes now, 33 months & 170 hrs after the motor was last connected to a computer.
According to the owners manual, the alarm will appear after 20hrs, 80 hrs, then every 100 hrs.
Does anything else trigger this alarm, such as oil pressure issues? or is this purely hours.
Does the "P oil" symbol indicate only oil change interval, or does it also have another meaning?
when cold, oil level is 90% full , between low and Hi. 10w-40 Yamaha synthetic.
