How imperative is it to get 100% of the old oil out? Mine holds 10.5lt but I have only been able to pump out 7.5-8.

How much was put in at the last service? Can you be sure 10.5l was put in?

Just because it's low hours doesn't mean you shouldn't pay careful attention to the powerhead anodes on Suzuki's. When I bought my last one it had 235hrs on it and service receipts showing the powerhead anodes had been changes twice in those 235 hrs. Unfortunately there was nothing at all left of them even though they had been changed just engine running hours 35hrs before. The reason being it had taken the previous owner 4 years to do those 35hrs.

They also have a nickname of Alka Seltzer’s in this part of the world due to their ease of dissolving...
