I just took an oscillating tool and cut the part of the floor board that was blocking the filter and made this whole process much much easier. I don't have to take any thing apart.
Just changed my filter without taking ANYTHING apart. It’s easy , just pull the footboard plastic out (slightly) and everything comes out , and goes together again without any issues.
Did mine yesterday trhe same. 5 minute job. Just use an 8mm socket instead of the torx on filter housing bolts. The plastic is plenty flexible enough. I guess if doing it somewhere cold it may help to warm it up a little before bending though.
I have owned Can am for years and you only have to remove the plastic that is closest to the engine under the right front wheel well. This was a standard process on Can Am and Suzuki. The only difference between these two units is the Can Am is a paper filter and Suzuki a regular hard cased filter.
Do not remove panels or cut the plastic. Just pull it away and remove filter then pull away and insert new filter. I just did it on my 21 450 outlander
From the Outlander forum: 1 - Turn ignition ON but don't start the quad. 2 - You HAVE to be on the ODOMETER (total quad mileage) display. 3 - Put HIGH BEAMS ON. (You must start the procedure from HI BEAMS) 3 - Press and HOLD the SET button. 4 - Toggle HI - LOW three times WITHIN 2 SECONDS. 5 - Release SET button. 6 - Turn ignition OFF and wait until the dash goes dark. 7 - Turn ignition back ON, VOILA!

Check it closer.. Yes the manual says to remove floor board. Once removing panels you will see with little effort you can get the filter off and the floor board doesn't have to be removed. The floor board is an absolute pain! Each end has a torx screw and wedges into the floor board so don't break plastic in frustration. TY

Great Idea thanx
I was thinking the same thing when he started pulling it all apart.

I'll have to try that next time
Is there room to tighten all the bolts on the oil filter cover if I just pull it out?
@@xtegaming6957 absolutely, I had no issues.
Me too. I was wondering why he took the whole side of the machine off.

I love how manufacturers sell the complete oil change kits. They are super handy and make regular maintenance much easier.
I'm probably going to get one of these in the 6x6 version but all these can am maint vids are a sales campaign for Honda/Yamaha...LOL
Gid vid, thanks.
Pain in the butt!! I will go to the dealer once a year. Thanks!
It's definitely a process!
@@TrailPass I thought it was easier and cheaper! Im watching the video because Im curious!
Dealer wants $500 to change the oil here in Denver
Very thankful 🙏
Not really hard to do.

I cut the plastic out to access the oil filter cover.
How does it look?
In the 570 a person said remove the front wheel well cover and 5 push pins
Yes, shame this video wasn't on the 570. Because I'm having a headache putting it back.. These videos are really clear, so it would've been nice :)
My 570 has 6 push pins.
What’s the process of cleaning the air filter?
I’m waiting on my 22 850 dps
Nice if he said the year?
Dzięki wlasnie kupilem Polska 450 zarabista i mocna .pozdrawiam
Getting the footwells back on is the hardest part! Lol
When I was replacing the air filter it didn’t fit into the hole in the back, I tried trimming it and it still wouldn’t go in
Just bought one. Thanks for the tips.
How I erase the maintenance signs?
I didn’t find it for an 450

I didn't have to remove any plastic I use a smaller socket set to get the filter off
What size machine?
Whoever designed this plastic cover system should have to work on it. What a jerk.
Very helpful. Clearly identifies all fasteners.
on the left side of my 500 can am is a plastic bubble, what the heck is it. i took it off ,it was full of dirt and oil
Great video thank you.

Awesome 👌 👏
Personally I would have cut a u shaped dip over the filter 😂
Thanks for burying you filter can am!!
Completely unnecessary to take all that stuff off to change oil on the 450. pull out on the footplastic a bit .
Get a life, all you have to Do is pull on the plastic, 5 minutes job, I hope you don't charge 2 hours to Do this!
