I noticed that you added 5W40 oil to your machine. I was just looking at the BRP website and they are stating that the 5W40 is for 450CC or less Rotax engines. They list 10W50 for the Rotax V-twin engines 500CC or more. Is the 1330CC engine in the 2021 Can-Am RT Limited a V-twin? I want to attempt changing my own oil but I don't want to void my warranty by adding the wrong grade of oil.

I purchased three oil change kits directly for the dealer (MotoMember in VA.) when I purchased the RT. The Can Am site also shows 5W40 for the 1330 RT: can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/9779249-4t-5w-40-synthetic-blend-oil-change-kit-for-rotax-1330-engine.html

Waiting for part to be received so dealership can install. I also recently had my left hip replacement surgery about 3 weeks ago. First 2 weeks were hell. Burning leg pain; unable to get comfortable in bed; swelling and stiffness at the hip. Walking with rolling walker. Gaining strength in my leg. Exercises appear to be effective. My surgeon said I should be able to ride by late spring, early summer. I also had anterior. Take care

Excellent video as I'm now changing oil in my 22rtl. What none of the oil change videos talk about is the Clutch Cover drain plug. It's a T40 torx but the parking brake rod connector bolt/nut is in the way. I almost stripped the clutch cover plug and torx bit trying to get around the nut; I'm still stuck. I have all the rest of the work done but cannot get the clutch cover plug removed! What a pickle I have here. I am afraid to remove the nut because the rod has a loaded spring on the other end and I don't want to create that problem.
@learnwhileyoucan5947 Жыл бұрын
That didn’t create a big problem for me. The plug was not fully behind the parking brake rod and spring. I am planning to purchase the hex bolt plugs at some point. However, that could add some size that might make it harder to reach. I’m laid up right now, but plan to change my oil again soon. I have been changing the oil at anywhere from 2,800 miles (first oil change) to about 3,500 miles. I’ll be on my fourth oil change since purchasing the bike. The price of the oil change kits is getting ridiculous. I get a discount from MotoMember (where I bought the bike) so I purchased three more kits. With my discount and adding shipping I still save about $30 over purchasing local or from Amazon. Imagine the cost of you had a dealer do the change.
