Boat Oil Change & Service in Colorado:Professional Boat Oil Change & Service Specialists

The Island Lake Marine Oil Change Experience

We've made the oil change process as quick and seamless as possible so you can get back to what you love most. Our Fort Collins, CO, service center is a central hub for boaters across Northern Colorado and the surrounding areas, including Loveland, Greeley, and beyond.

• Expert Care for All Engines: Whether you have a wakesurf boat with a powerful PCM inboard, a pontoon with a Mercury outboard, or a cruiser with a MerCruiser sterndrive, we have the expertise and the right products for your engine. We use only high-quality, marine-grade oils and filters that are specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a marine environment.
• More Than Just an Oil Change: We believe a routine oil change is a golden opportunity to give your boat a health check. Our service goes beyond simply draining and refilling. We perform a detailed inspection of key components, checking for potential issues before they become major problems.
• High-Altitude Optimization: The air is thinner here, and that can affect your boat's performance. Our technicians are trained to assess your engine's needs in our high-altitude environment, ensuring it's not just running, but running efficiently.
• Transparent & Efficient: We provide a clear, upfront estimate before we start any work. Our goal is to get you in and out of the shop as efficiently as possible, with no surprises.

Signs Your Boat Needs an Oil Change

Most boat manufacturers recommend an oil change every 50-100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first. However, it's important to watch for these signs that your boat needs a tune-up:

• Decreased Performance: Sluggish acceleration, reduced top speed, or difficulty getting on plane.
• Unusual Engine Noises: Knocking, grinding, or whining sounds coming from the engine.
• Discolored or Milky Oil: Oil that looks milky may indicate a water leak, a serious problem that needs immediate attention.
• Excessive Smoke from the Exhaust: This can be a sign of burning oil or other engine issues.

Our Comprehensive Boat Service Includes:

• Oil & Filter Change: We use the correct marine-grade oil and replace the filter to ensure optimal lubrication and protection.
• Fluid Level Checks: We inspect and top off all other vital fluids, including transmission, power steering, and coolant.
• Fuel System Inspection: We check your fuel filters and lines to ensure clean fuel is reaching the engine.
• Propeller & Outdrive Inspection: We'll check your propeller for any damage and inspect your outdrive for proper lubrication and function.
• General System Check: We'll look for any signs of wear and tear, including checking belts, hoses, and battery connections.
