Keep all receipts and record each maintenance job done in a little note book for extended warranty to have as proof. Dealers cry because they want to charge as ass load of money to do simple work.
Everyone I know or read about said they always have problems getting anything fixed with the extended warranty anyways its frustrating because I want to get one but am nervous......... I would hate to spend that extra cash and then not be covered
In order prevent the mess from the removing the filter, get in the car floor the gas pedal and hold the start button for 5 seconds. It won’t start but it’ll pump the rest of the oil out
I'm new here so I want to take the time to thank you for making this video. It is my first UTV I own, so your video was very helpful since I do not have a service manual for it.
Great video. You hit on everything for first oil change and general maintenance. A couple life hacks. I use a form-a-funnel for oil changes in my x3. No mess, I mold it like a ramp from plugs and let it drain to the side of car. Not a single drop of oil on my skid plate. Also get some pj1 contact cleaner. It’s like brake clean but not harsh on plastics, electrical or engine components. It’s awesome for degreasing and no water needed.
Ive taken my 2018 X3 XDS to the dealer at around 500 miles when i had electrical issues and asked about an oil change. I was told manufacturer recommends service at 2000 miles. Im currently at 900 miles without a service and was planing on getting it done at 1k. Only thing Ive replaced since has been the air filter.
@@MGaona82 Really, thats pretty crazy that it ran cooler..i use to put diesel oil delvac in my street bike..also made my shifting buttery smooth. whatever friction modifiers where in there the bike liked it.
I love Amsoil in my 4 vehicles and a couple family members. I send samples in for analysis at independent labs from time to time and they always come back with excellent results. With that being said, the oil they have is the 0w40. I was disappointed that they didn't have the 10w50. For my other vehicles it's pretty much the best oil you can get. If I were to use something else it would be Mobil 1. BobIsTheOilGuy is a site I learned a lot about oils at. Project Farm here on RUclips has some really great tests going too.
lmao ya bro we are fat!! we hit everywhere. I need those 32s asap. Thanks for the help ese!! Good tips to. Didn't realize how little I know about my X3 lol
Hey man I own an X3 xrs and I just did the first engine oil maintenance. I filled the oil level just above the max line, I took the car for a ride and in about 10 minutes it turned off while driving and it won’t start. If I let it sit for like 15 or 30 minutes it start but for like 5 seconds. You think that overfilled oil level can cause this ? And how can I solve it ?
What grease do you use? I clicked on the link and saw Sea Doo grease is thats what you use? I went to the dealer I bought it from and they said it was sealed and they don't grease them. I have a 2020 Mav R3 Max.
That is the correct suspension grease i use for suspension grease zerk fittings.. u can use any grease u like from your favorite brand for the suspension. The stickier the better.
Hey brother I love your videos, quick question when I replace the oil filter do I have to take all the oil out of that housing? Because when I put them back in there it was still filled with old oil.
Thank you for this video. Now do you think its worth the money for these machines having to do this much maintenance? I can't justify paying the asking prices for these and having to do so much maintenance on these things. It's makes 0 sense to me. This is also probably why so may are for sale so early on after purchase. Not trying to be negative, Looks like you enjoy this which is great.
Bought my 1st maverick in 2014 and then my x3 turbo R in 19. Got about 20 machines I ride on amd off with. Nobody's ever sold, except for when they are upgrading to a new machine
Hey Frank ! Idk if you’ll see this but can you lmk the measurements for when I fix tune the shocks on my 2021 can am xrs maverick turbo RR 4 seater ? Thanks bro thanks for the help always 👌🏻
@@GLifeUTV when adjusting the suspension on the can am idk what to go off of.. the shocks/springs are sagging a bit on my xrs & I wanna adjust the springs & do what’s called the “fox tune” at home Thanks Frankie !
good video. also wanted to add only add 3.5 liters of oil at first. i added the recommended 3.7 and it was a half inch past the max full line. also be very mindful of the crush washers they are a bitch to dig out of your skid plate if it falls off the nut 😅
I own a Can Am Mav Max 2022 and the drive belt gave up after 14 hours of use. Is this a normal thing to happen on this vehicles? The belt itself cost me almost 200 bucks. Do you guys have any advice on this, is it a normal thing to happen or did I push the vehicle to the max for the drive belt to give up. I will appreciate any comments or advice from any one here. Thank you.
I'd be interested if those thin oils like 0w-30/20 would do any good to those machine. My mechanic in my head says just use the 10w-30 because the thin stuff won't protect enough from such hard use. 🤷♂️ oh the great oil debate 🤣
Brp builds their engines with tighter tolerances compared to what engines use to be. For example gm LS family engines would normally run 5w30 oil. With the introduction of the LT motor family in the new trucks. They switch to a thinner 0w-20 oil because all of the bearing tolerances were tighter. The oil required is do to the design.
I like how people think they are helping the environment because they are using biodegradable degreasers. Just because what you use to clean off oil and grease is environmentally friendly it doesn’t make the oil and grease non hazardous. It’s still a good video I just think it’s important that people aren’t lead to believe that it’s okay to wash all the hazardous substances they want down the storm drain because a company claims their product is biodegradable.
I haven’t done my first oil change and I’m 635. Do you think that going to mess up my warranty if I take to a dealer for it? For some reason I thought it was 60 hours.
Quick question brother I have a 2021 Can am x3 I have like 500 miles on the engine my question is when I start giving it gas it starts with a jerky start and after 5 miles an hour it’s fine what do you think it could be a friend told me to change the belt because it could be a sign of needing replacement???? Thank you in advance👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My X3 RS RR is brand new and is jerky at 5mph. There is a lot of slip at 5-10 mph in High. Pretty sure the manual says that H is for 15 mph or higher. L is for low speed. Too bad these can't shift on the fly. ;). Also watch out for that reverse torque when letting off the gas. Better to let it off gentle if conditions allow for it. I'm still learning the feel of the pedal myself.
Whats up frankie this is todd from. The east coast riders where the mud and mountain climbs rule the ride great videos very entertaining. I want to come there and go riding you guys sometime I also got a x3!!! Xome out east to Ohio and check it also!!! Give me a whats up sometime on one of your videos!!!
Do you mean because of how oil spills when removing cap? If so its actually a good design feature in my opinion, prevents dry starts, oil is always in the oiling system and doesnt drain down. But yea does make a mess.. i think the oil drain wasn't well thought out and makes a mess if not carful
An oil change shouldnt be such a pain in the ass. Thanks BRP you screwed your customers again by engineering a complete nightmare to service. Just got a 2024 Can am and its the worst machine I have owned out of all the sxs's Ive had. Polaris was leaps and bounds easier to change the oil. The winner was the Kawi, changing the oil was so accessible and easy it was done in literally 8 minutes. FU Can Am! never again.

Very true, lil note book is a good idea💡...

@@trevorbraden5448 Im in the same boat ive got a machine coming in about 3 weeks still dont know if i wanna go with an extended warranty or not
My 22 has 200 miles on it. I was going to do the oil change on it, but I guess I should wait.
Great advice about keeping extra rags on hand at the ready when doing oil change. That came in handy. Thank you for this video
In order prevent the mess from the removing the filter, get in the car floor the gas pedal and hold the start button for 5 seconds. It won’t start but it’ll pump the rest of the oil out
Yup. Drown mode
I'm new here so I want to take the time to thank you for making this video. It is my first UTV I own, so your video was very helpful since I do not have a service manual for it.
Awesome to hear.. join some of the facebook groups. As they sometimes have the service manuals..
Put a small rare earth magnet inside your nitrile glove to catch metal things you dont want to drop, or to find dropped/lost bolts
Great tip
Hi.
you need a Curtis valve in your oil drain bolt location and use the CanAm drown mode. Look it up this is a game changer for oil change.
They make great products
What's the thread of the drain plug?
Great video. You hit on everything for first oil change and general maintenance. A couple life hacks. I use a form-a-funnel for oil changes in my x3.

Those work great. I have one at work. Thanks for the life hacks.. im definitely gonna try the pj1👍👍
There is an access hatch behind the seat to reach the back latch
You should use drown mode to keep from spilling when you pull the oil filter
Ive taken my 2018 X3 XDS to the dealer at around 500 miles when i had electrical issues and asked about an oil change. I was told manufacturer recommends service at 2000 miles. Im currently at 900 miles without a service and was planing on getting it done at 1k. Only thing Ive replaced since has been the air filter.
I remember saying a service manual that the first oil change is at 1k.. then every 2k after that
Yes, every 1k after the first 500 miles “break in period” then after the 500 miles 1k miles after that
Thank you for this detailed video
Love the content, I will one day have a can am!
🤟🤟
Amsoil is the only oil i run in all my vehicles. They are be far the best in the industry. Made all my bikes and clutches run 1000 times better.
Nice.. ill give them a try on my personal car
@@GLifeUTV when i had my YXZ1000R it made shifting almost unnoticeable. And the motor ran way cooler.
@@MGaona82 Really, thats pretty crazy that it ran cooler..i use to put diesel oil delvac in my street bike..also made my shifting buttery smooth. whatever friction modifiers where in there the bike liked it.

What's the purpose of removing the 10mm on the oil drain... wouldn't the 17mm be the only plug to worry about?
Not sure about the newer models but mine in the manual said the front and rear differential fluid needs changed after break in.
Great point. Would be a smart idea especially with the amount of break in ive seen on these
Just did my first oil change this weekend I went with Motul
They make good stuff👍
@@GLifeUTV Yesssirr !
Do you have a video how to reset the maintenance required
lmao ya bro we are fat!! we hit everywhere. I need those 32s asap. Thanks for the help ese!! Good tips to. Didn't realize how little I know about my X3 lol
👌👌
Good video man. It’s awesome the ways you splaying the parts how to do it everything
Thank you
Great video
Thanks!
Great video brotha 👍✌👌
Thanks
Im gonna do my first oil change at 60hrs. Im gonna use Motul 5w30 full synthetic
lets go. haha
Great video. But I am wondering what kind of riding you do that the stock tires are able to still be intact.
Not my machine.
From my understanding they reset valves if needed during your first service?
Good job
Not about the machines; but your house looks dope AF man.
Thanks bro🙏👍

Hey gee, I replaced the rear radius rods. Can you tell me if I should tighten them up with the car in the air or sitting at ride height? Thank you
Tightened what the jam nuts?
Top content Frank. Respect ✊🏼
🙏🤟
To G my maverick x3. The oil filter cap goes on only one way.
Yea the newer models changed slightly
I remember the first time doing a service and was mad because you couldn’t remove the skid plates 😤
Yea.. pretty dumb design.. rivets freaking are a pain to remove
Hey brother I love your videos, quick question when I replace the oil filter do I have to take all the oil out of that housing? Because when I put them back in there it was still filled with old oil.
I suppose u could. but its not all that necessary. you will never be able to remove all the old oil
I use a clean piece off a roll of paper kitchen towel to soak up & get out all that old oil down the bottom of the filter case.
I can always tell a Cali Brother by the way they wear their flat bill hat...lol
I bought that blue oil funnel from Amazon from your description. =)

These are performance machines. The level of shock the drivetrain receives from off-roading is not like your typical on road car.

Hey man. I used the XPs 0w-40 on my first oil change this weekend. You think I should change it ? I live in riverside.
I honestly think youd be fine but its not recommended. If we were in the middle of summer.. i would say it's to thin

Great info
👍👍
Axle and diff. Need changed at 500 hours
That looks like a PIA for the oil change.
Why is the tire pressure set so low if the tire is rated for like 45 PSI
45 is usually like a max rating.. that is way to high. And it will make it ride like crap. Between 12-18 is best
Guys lower the pressure especially for dune riding. You want to have low pressure to leave a bigger print.
good video. also wanted to add only add 3.5 liters of oil at first. i added the recommended 3.7 and it was a half inch past the max full line. also be very mindful of the crush washers they are a bitch to dig out of your skid plate if it falls off the nut 😅
👍👍👍 thanks for sharing Nick
Very well done
Thanks🙏👍
Great vid, should I try AMSOIL over XPS?
I hear great things from amsoil. Try it out
I own a Can Am Mav Max 2022 and the drive belt gave up after 14 hours of use. Is this a normal thing to happen on this vehicles? The belt itself cost me almost 200 bucks. Do you guys have any advice on this, is it a normal thing to happen or did I push the vehicle to the max for the drive belt to give up. I will appreciate any comments or advice from any one here. Thank you.
Id make sure there isnt anything that looks abnormal on the clutches.. thats low miles for the belt to give out
If u buy that oil kit on Amazon it comes with 4 bottles how many should I put
3.4 quarts
3.7

Agreed
I have a new oil kit 0w 40 from brp
But im in new mexico where it gets hot as hell. Manual says 0w 40 is for general purpose. Should
I get the 10w50
I would personally
Literally just saw you drive past in the rzr were on lot 170
lot 170??? wasnt me.lol
Please I have a question, does mine have 170 hours that oil should I buy?
