Purchased a new sportsman 850 premium 2 months ago and just did the 1st oil change. Took 10 minutes. So far I love this machine and this video makes me glad I went with a sportsman. I know you have had them because I'm a subscriber and have watched your previous videos. Great videos! I enjoyed watching them!
Congratulations on your new machine it’s a good one. Boy I miss those Polaris oil change...woo wee they were quick 🙂
I do my own and the only plastic you need to take off to gain access to the filter is the one under the wheel arch looks like your doing it the hard way
Ken in know this, but Can Am wants you to change the transmission fluid at 25 hours and that requires removal of the panels and foot well. I really like the videos removing the inner fender to change the oil filter...i agree that is much easier for just changing the crank case oil. Stay healthy.
Transition go from the back when you take of the plastic skid plate 5. Min top
What this guy said
@@maraudermitchellino it don’t go threw the back to get the bottom one out
This was a great video! My friend and I just did the oil change in his outlander 570 today and to say it was a PITA is an understatement! There was plenty of profanity involved during plastic removal! I do not own one of these machines. They seem very solid, well put together and of high quality. However, if routine maintenance is this difficult, it's a deal killer for me.
They are an amazing machine...maintenance is disappointing no doubt. Your friends engine is awesome. Drive them before you judge them. Thank you for commenting.
@@maraudermitchelli Oh, I have driven it and I agree. Compared to my 2 Polaris 570's..........Well, there is no comparison.
The reliability of can-am outlander is second to none, high maintenance but worth it in the long run, my cousin and older brother had Polaris and they didn’t last one summer season, I put 35,000 kilometres on my outlander before I sold it, quads are like the family car in the north
These are the best quads the technology that goes into the motor and the chassis and the ride is number 1, I put 35.000 kilometres
On mine, but I had to do the maintenance on it, it’s worth it, like he said the torque is well worth putting up with maintenance, if you have a dealer near by get them to teach you how to do the maintenance the first time, you won’t regret it
I was able to change all fluid and the oil filter with only removing the side plastic and front wheel well plastic. You need to use a pump or hose to fill the transmission fluid without taking off extra plastics, but saves so much time. An oil and filter change really only takes about 30 minutes and the diff fluids are the same since nothing needs to be removed to access. Especially on the 570, which is what I work on.
Nice video, Pete! "Design for service" is a big concern for guys that like to do their own maintenance. I love my BRP Ski-Doo's, but tasks that you think would be simple turn out to be very difficult. I could change 2 spark plugs on my 2005 Ski-Doo Renegade 800 P-tek in less than 15 minutes. On my 2012 Ski-Doo Renegade 800 e-tec, that same job takes about 3 hours. These machines have become so compact - every inch is used and you can't easily get your hands and tools in the proper position. And if you drop a nut, bolt or socket, you'll spend 30 minutes finding and retrieving it. My best friend is an extendable magnet when I'm working on my sleds. These machines are great fun though!
I agree with you 100%. The first time i changed the oil on my Outlander 1 up i did the same thing searching for dropped parts in the frame...even tools. My best friend was a magnet on a stick...agreed, that just slows down the job. It's the price you pay for a great machine and engine....that's what i tell myself. Thank you excellent comment.
I feel your pain my 2019 outlander 650 I just did all the same things to it it's kind of a pain in the ass working on, Can-Ams, but it's worth it the machines are so awesome. I come from a grizzly background.. thanks for the videos they're very helpful I appreciate it.
You made my day...so many asked for this video and are not commenting, i hope it helps you and others. Please stay healthy.
The "gunk" on the drain plug is metal shavings from the transmission gears, sticking to the built-in magnet.
Agreed thank you be safe
I love your videos....keep them up Pete!
Thank you Mark...thank you
You can change the oil filter without pulling the side panel. 1/4in ratchet with 6” Extention. T20 is the size of the Torx bit you need.
Others have said the same. Ugh the first time I filmed this I didn't use the video it turned into a wrestling match with panels and fenders during a hot summer night. You're probably better at this service than I. Take care Be safe
Spot on it's how I do it, in the past I did used to pull half the shit off but it turned a simple or what should be a simple job into a major day and a total fucking nightmare they are shit to work on.
I just did service on my 850 Outlander. Only panel I took off was the inside right fender to change the filter. Wasn’t that bad. I also did all the grease fittings except the 2 on the drive shaft. Couldn’t get to them . I have a full metal under carriage protection plates. Didn’t even try and do the spark plugs because the front one is impossible! Can Am engineers did not design a machine that is friendly to do it yourself owners. Great ATV’s but I won’t buy another one just for the maintenance issues.
Bill not sure how you changed the trani oil with out removing the fender...but good for you. I hate to say I agree with you...but i do. That just isn't right. Thank you enjoy machine.
Great video. Thanks for all the tips on screw locations, because I have broke panels in the past with wrestling hidden screws. Also Beautiful garage, one tip I have is before you do the oil changes, next time I recommend putting down a cheap HF tarp and moving blanket(absorbs the spillage) on top of that under the machine before you start. Makes for a nice clean floor and something more comfortable then hard cold concrete to work on, as we are only getting older. Lol
Excellent tip thank you. I have to buy some moving blankets. Thank you stay healthy.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Alfonso Baker instablaster ;)
@Pedro Leighton thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Pedro Leighton It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account!
Good job cleaning it up just remember they’re all good when they run good but when something goes wrong you will know
Service/Repairs are never as easy as they should be... If they were, everyone could do it... Lol..
Great tutorial... 👍👍👍
spot on...spot on. I've never seen a complete oil change video for an Outlander...the closest was a guy called Rob Farol i think and he cut up his foot well. Thanks Doc keep them coming. stay safe.
FYI I drilled out a side hole to get the my oil filter screw that a could not use my ratchet on .....made the oil change much easier on my 450.
I've heard people do that...tranni fluid is a tuff change. Good thinking enjoy your ate in peace.
Great video. I found another video where you take off the wheel and remove plastic from the wheel well. Instinct access.
Thanks Chris but that doesn't work with the transmission fluid change. Stay warm
Did my first service today and with a fleet head 1/4 drive ratchet and a shallow socket I got to the filter bolts without pulling any plastics but the one right on the side of the engine
How did you drain the transmission fluid and fill?
@@maraudermitchelli I haven't yet I am waiting on a package from Amsoil - however I will get back to you if I have a better option.
Check your email I sent you a video on how I did it. Pulled the seat and one side plastic.
Ya it’s not bad with the proper tools
Its splattering out of the drain due to the fill plug still being in. The crank case is gulping air while it drains slightly and it sloshes all over when it drains. If you let it breath with the fill plug out itll drain much better
Flyn that's good advice thank you and be safe. It's nice you took the time to help me.
Which ATV have the easier maintenance (oil change and air filters...) ? I have a 570max xt, with snow plow, and to get to the oil filter is a pain! Why can't the oil filter be placed under a removable panel or seat?
All the Polaris ATV's and SXS's are easier to service than Can Am ATV's and SXS's. I've been there buddy those Can Ams are brutal hours to do crankcase and tranny fluid. Polaris is about an hour to change crankcase oil. Thank you for watching
Engineers don’t service anything they design and the thought doesn’t even cross their mind. If it does it’s under optimal conditions . The main concerns of the companies are horse power and gadgets to beat the competition .
Sad isn't Lloyd...but your probably right with some engineers. Be safe
Leave the dip stick in and it will drain slower it should help with it going everywhere
You know Bob...that's good advice thank you. Be safe
After watching this video. I can’t help but think that Can Am engineers are somewhat sadistic.
lol...right isn't something. This is why no one post real world video's of changing the oil on a Can Am. Great comment stay healthy.
Or just plain stupid, I'll go with stupidity
I would put a piece of plastic pipe through the skid plate hole to direct the oil straight out
Good idea...there may be an adapter. What a mess.
Yap. What a pain. I have a Can Am 570 Outlander. When I have all that apart I grease the U joint coming out of the gear box. I find easier to get to.
Omg but what a great machine 🙂 stay healthy
I'd like to ask how you got the ATV on and off the steel jack with the 4x4 ? Thanks
David I have a motorcycle jack which lift very high...higher than a car jack. I probably lift the front and rear separate then installed stands. I hope this helps.
Super vidéo 👍👍👍 Éric France 🇫🇷
Thanks Eric I hope it helps you, enjoy your Outlander be safe
Do you have a video on how to lubricate the throttle cable? The manual says to do it every year but I don't hear people talk about it.
No I don't...that may be as simple as WD40 at the exposed cable ends...but the throttle on my machines is fly by wire i have not cables. If yours is the same i guess we solved that issue. Stay safe.
I have a 2017, so still cable. I'll try the WD and go from there. Thanks man and keep up the great videos.
But I still love can what a ride!
Agreed, stay healthy
I recommend not changing your oil while the machine is warm. It's best practice with all engines to wait until the oil is cooled down to change it. It's 100% the reason you're having it splash around everywhere and can actually be very dangerous since oil reacts different when hot and will splash everywhere and potentially melt or catch on fire.
Always drain oil cold. You can start the machine and run it to move it or whatever, but do not let the engine heat up.
Also, you can access the oil filter by removing only the side plastic and front wheel well and do not need to remove the footwell. Can save you so much time. You can still access the transmission plugs, but will need a pump or hose to fill it. I find that much faster and better than removing all of the plastics every maintenance.
Interesting tip thank for caring and share. Be safe thank you 😊
I have a 2021 Outlander Max 1000 Limited and and a 2021 Outlander Max 650 XT and you don’t have to do any of that lol. You just remove 1 panel in the wheel well to do the oil and then particularly remove the skid plate to do the trans. Maybe the Max is different cause it’s a little longer but damn
Oh boy you're better than I. Glad you like your machines.
can the skid plate be took off that way the oil would flow freely ?
There wasn't a problem with the skid plate...it's everything that has to be removed to get at drains and fillers. Be safe
Having the machine level helps with the draining ..
Agreed.
have a 2007 Polaris xp , not as much trouble to change the oil. but i think the can am is a better machine. looking for a defender pro limited but no one seems to have one.
I agree with I wouldn’t want to live on the difference. Limited are in demand and production is slow. Who would’ve thought buying a $25k machine would be hard? What an industry I hope you find your machine. Btw the loaded Polaris North Star comes with big tires. Stay safe!🙂
I have a 2021 650 XT , I cannot find the crank case drain plug to save my life. My manual is useless and good old Google is full of RUclips segments like this one but NON of them show you clearly enough the drain plug location, wonder if anyone maybe has a detailed scetch that they would be willing to send to me through FB messenger, would appreciate that very much. Great segment👍
My 2020 XMR 1000 I Drop it off at the dealership. Best $150 spent. I go enjoy my day and pick it up later that afternoon.
You’re smart nothing wrong with that option. I still like to turn a wrench it’s healthy for me. Stay safe.
@@maraudermitchelli thanks. Just discovered your channel about an hour ago. Just ordered a 2022 Defender Limited Max. I was watching your forward A arm video. Im gonna try to sneak 32 Carnivores on without any mods. Fingers crossed.
@@Backwoodsrider Awesome good luck. 32" tires look great on the machine. Contact me if you need help.
I have a 2017, and the oil filter cover is almost completely exposed. I have half a thought to cut out the foot well. @ more inches and you wouldn't have to remove any plastic at all....AHHHHH
I've seen guys do that, good for you. Stay healthy.
I just changed the oil in my 2011 and it was very easy. I only had to remove the panel between the front right wheel panel and remove the bolts between the front right fender and foot rest panel so i could move it while working. I have a plow frame under mine so the oil plug access is super easy. I only fought the heat from the engine because i warmed it up too much. The only real beef i have with mine is the air filter access is a pita.
Oh boy John that's still a lot of work. Good job by you, sounds like you enjoy your machine the engines are great. Thank you
Nothing is ever easy especially oil changes
Not on an Outlander. Thank you for watching, the more we turn a wrench the better we become. Stay healthy
Nice Milwaukee tools and lights. Try a rocket light.
I love my Milwaukee tools...you're the first to comment on them. This rockets lights are nice, very nice. I'll try to buy one. Stay safe...healthy. thank you for commenting.
Maintenance on Polaris Sportsman isn’t easy either 😁
Probably not on some like the 570, but my 1000 Sportsman was much easier. Thank you and stay safe
How many hours between your change?
Around 140 hours...that video was done almost a year ago🙂stay strong
That looks like a Nightmare . My Sportsman XP 1000 or Grizzy only takes about 2 minutes and both have a spin-on oil filter so much cleaner and that oil filter in side is for the stone age and there is no way fill it with oil like a spin-on filter so the engine starves for oil till it fills up the oil filter housing.
I agree with you, it needs to be simplified. The engine is awesome though...it's a powerhouse.
If you have to tear a machine half apart to just change the oil, it's a nightmare and a time consumer. Yamaha and Kawasaki make it easy and time efficient, with spin-on oil filters, and little or no removal of plastic.
I agree it’s way too difficult. Those are two good machines 🙂
Now add a aluminum skid plate from the factory and it's another thing you have to remove, they weren't even smart enough to leave you a hole to access the front diff. drain plug. Good atv just brutal to service it . I'll be looking elsewhere for my next bike. Getting up in age and I don't need this shit!
DC...I'm with you, that's the same thing I'm doing. Really is a great machine especially the engine. Ride in peace...btw Polaris is so much easier to service.
Love the videos. What is your preference between the max and the single Outlander
I traded the single which was older than the max...i prefer the longer wheel base for hills and ride. The one up is definately quicker but i ride slow. Stay healthy thank you.
I Love the longer wheelbase so much so that I added 4" to wheelbase of my Sportsman XP 1000 to make it the same as a 2 up model and only had to buy the rear drive shaft for a 2 up model to make it work.
@@crazyflyboy30 OMG that's impressive...good for you. Can you email maraudermitchelli@gmail.com please pretty to cool. stay healthy
@@maraudermitchelli Thanks, I think I have the only 58" wheelbase with the new body style 2018 Sportsman XP 1000 and the is 1" longer than a regular Polaris 2 up version(57") but still 1" sort of a can am (59") max .
@@crazyflyboy30 very neat.
You just remove the front panel in front of the filter and thats it. You can do it all right there
Yes but you can’t change the transmission oil…more panel need to be removed. I’ve watched people change the oil that way. Thank you 😊
@@maraudermitchelli this procedure to take off all those panels and foot well is a fruad so that people go pay a tech bc they are too scared. It takes 20 minutes max to change the oil. This is Fake
@@stewbuntu I can assure you I'm not a fraud. I followed the manual...not the best illustrations. I heard there are remote oil filter kits for this engine. I don't know why Can Am does not offer that on all their engines. That would end this debate. Post my video I've watched videos where the filter access is from the inner fender which works well...but does not help with the tranni oil change. All good my video just shows how I changed the oil following the instructions. I do love that Rotax engine. Stay safe.
@@maraudermitchelli Its a fruad by Can Am to scare owners from doing a 20 minute oil change via the front cover/5 snaps, and you are perpetuating the lie, as if its something difficult.
As much as I like the Can Am 650 Max XT, it’s very difficult to work on. It’s like they purposely made it that way, so most would take it in for Service. Regardless of what you want to do, it’s a pain in the ass.
Absolutely, I think it's because the engines are made outside their company and they just put them in so many different machines. Maybe I'll go back to Can Am...maybe. Be safe
The real question is, how many cuss words were said during this oil change??
I'm still cussing...too funny. OMG what a job! thank you stay warm.
I can’t get mine back on!
Take your time you can get it on...not sure what part but keep trying you'll get it. So so frustrating. Be safe
@@maraudermitchelli The key was removing the gas cap and the plastic clip right next to it.
You can do an oil change without taking any panels off I could maybe make a video next time I do mine 2021 850 max xt
i believe to drain and change the transmission fluid the panels need to be removed. Let me know please or forward a video. A viewer mentioned a video where the front inner fender was removed to access the engine oil filter...but not the transmission. Stay healthy.
the oil filter being so hard to get to is pretty annoying honestly its the same on my 21 xmr
I agree
Wow! It's the most ridiculous thing I ever seen. I just ordered one. Supposed to get in April.
It's worth it for that engine...it is ridiculous though. I hope this video helps you. thank you for commenting
@@maraudermitchelli your right about that engine. Wicked. Thanks.
@@dirtshredder8737 great engine 🙂
There’s easier ways, don’t take the hole machine apart.
Nice well now i need to come over so you can do mine!!!
Too funny...it's a battle but the more you do the better you get...what a mess stay healthy.
Oil change is ridiculously complicated. Wish CanAm would just make a removable door in the engine cover plastics to remove the filter. The effort and time it takes to replace the oil and filter is unacceptable.
Dillion I agree some have suggest a remote filter. Merry Christmas
No need to pull all that stuff just the three front inner fender clips and taadaa
Yes Ron but you can't change the tranny fluid from the front fender...but boy I boy if you figure out an easier way to change the tranny fluid let me know. Be safe.
Greg from northern Michigan again. The link below mirrors your recent oil change frustrations. See ruclips.net/video/cVpXijY2N-U/видео.html. It mentions drilling an access hole thru the plastic side panel to reach a plug. Might make things a little easier for you. What year is your BRP 1000R ATV ?
Thank you for the link. My one up was a 2019 and the 2 max is a 2020. Thank you for trying to help me, very nice of you. Stay healthy
Oh my god, I would lose my mind doing this for basic service. I was just about to buy one of these tomorrow. Great job but this just turned me off canam.
I'm sorry that was not my intention...but it is a process. The ATV is fantastic, the engine is awesome.
@@maraudermitchelli oh not your fault. This saved me a great deal of swearing had I bought it. I'm used to my 2020 Kingquad 750.. done all in 20 mins. I really wanted a 2 up atv to take the wife who won't ride her own was all. I'm so happy to have seen your video just in time.
@@suzukibender1090 recommend you test drive the machine with your wife, you may change your mind as they are awesome. Stay warm
Bet you wish it was as easy as the Polaris about right now huh??
still cussing...absolutely!
Hey I don’t think I would like the oil filter cartridge I would like to see them put a regular oil filter on there that looks like abortion to take a part but good job after I did the work I would give it a pressure wash down but other than that awesome job all my stuff is very clean that’s just the way I am
I agree with you. I did wash the area but it was so dirty it doesn't show. Next time i'll pressure wash. Thank you.
@@maraudermitchelli No problem have a wonderful day
good grief, that's a lot of trouble. not much good engineering went into building this thing. just saying. you did a good job on a bad situation .
Right! Same exact engine used in multiple machines. They need to make this easier as it's a great engine. Stay healthy
The brp engineers/designers should be forced to change the oil on every Can-am machine sold as penance for their evil ways!
It’s their philosophy, great engine but I don’t think they will change. If the could just add some access panels on their body panels and a casting here it there…I don’t get it either. I heard the Spiders oil change has to be done by the dealer… Stay healthy 🙂
Welcome to the wonderful world of Can-am footwells. They absolutely suck! Oh I was so hoping you did a reinstall! You did but, Satan erased it so there will be years of thousands of people struggling cussing.
I should've showed it...I may have done 2 videos on this service i hope you find my reinstall. Be safe.
For the love of mother Mary and God's disciples! 🙄😳. My video would have been banned 10 minutes into it due to my language would have went way....south....for ..You Tube! 🤬...I was waiting for you to break out the AXE and Cutting torch! If you see me on the trails riding my new Can Am Max half stripped down without the plastics on the right side of it..... It just means I threw the pieces in the trash and cut 4 hours off my next oil change! So does Can Am award you with some kind of ribbon or trophy if you make it threw a oil change on one of their machines or offer anger management classes after that!🤣😅😆👍
I've heard this before, the first time i filmed this it was a disaster...kind of just like you described. Love your comment stay safe and healthy please
Can Am should be ashamed. I regret buying this Brand. I will Never buy another Can Am.
I must tell you Honda is looking better and better to me...I wish their sxs's had cabs. Can Am needs remote filters I think. Thank you for commenting be safe
Thanks man. Never buy brp
Expecting another Polaris in the garage 🙂 bro engines are nice though
Yamahas are so much better to do!
Michael Yamaha's are great machines...thank you
