You actually want the oil to come out more forcefully, to help “pull” any contaminants from the bottom of the oil pan. You can take a paper towel and wipe the little bit of oil off the crossmember, it won’t permanently taint it.
This tip applies to many more vehicles, particularly to a number of newer SUVs and trucks with large oil capacity and even smaller ATVs/UTVs, where the oil drain plug is horizontal (to protect it), which shoots oil sideways when draining.
Wouldn’t mind if you kept your series ongoing into maintenance when you hit all the fluid changes. Got an x900 here. About to replace a stretched throttle cable and then adjust the linkages after seeing your video series
I think its on the maintenance side that people have the most problems. Dealing with water, rocks, long grass that spins around axels and such. People do clean that all off and maintain it.

That makes good sense!

Very true!
Please tell me where you placed the car hoist lifting pads on the frame of your rtv 1140. Thanks.

Will do!
I'll start making some maintenance vids
Get the proper drain pan that extends up and you won't have that problem...
Agreed
Off-road vehicles are trash in any brand. Stay away unless you have more money than brains. Which is usually the case.
