21 CAN AM OUTLANDER XMR (1st service tips) Engine / gearbox / front and rear diff fluid change.

Follow along as I take you through the first service of my 21 CAN AM Outlander XMR 850 (4lok), providing tips and guidance as well as changing a key component that's due to fail in the upcoming years.

[@tedconroy5074]

I know that you made this video a while ago, but it is the best I've seen for step by step instructions. Thank you for your time and efforts!

[@Snarge22]

Thanks for the detailed video on the fluid changes. There's nothing better than watching someone else do it first before tackling it yourself.

Awesome video! I just bought the exact same machine from a dealer with only 650 miles on it, but the dealer did not do all of the maintenance like he said. Your videos are perfect for the DIYer! Thanks!

I just bought the 2022 650 XT. Because it’s so new to me I wasn’t familiar with the shifting in the dark so I used a Silver Sharpie I had and coloured the raised letters on the console, highly recommend..

[@mcmuskie2563]

Great job!!! I just got done changing all the fluids other than Brake Fluid & Antifreeze. No small task, over all it was 3hrs. Be prepared to spend some me time. Use jack stands for safety, don’t trust just the jack.

Thanks for the class im changing my oil tomorrow

[@wheelstandr]

I am personal friends with a Can am tech. Dont be alarmed by the gold in the pan. He just told me yesterday that the gear oil will be gold metallic. Thats how it looks when they put it in at the factory. Its break in lube.

[@mcmuskie2563]

I heard about the Shifting Bracket breaking. I bought from Amazon for 18.00 Canadian. I’ve already had to tweak the adjustments cause the original was difficult to shift, it still doesn’t always go into park easily, I often have to rock the machine as I force it into park. If you adjust so it goes into park, then it’s tough to go into Low, can’t seem to win, Ya get used to it.

How the frick do you get to the gearbox drain plug. I’ve been curing and sweating for an hour

[@patrickgoerdt6543]

Now I got a question. On your 23 renegade. Did you do your gear oils the same way? I assuming the front and rear diffs are the same on the 23 Outlander 1000 XMR. I heard these like to start leaking out of the seals if you use too much gear oil

[@HowsyourBin]

Hope this guy can reply to a guy with few questions about your quad I just traded my 2017 maverick 1000r for a bike the exact same… have a few questions.

[@viperxbr]

Great video! Just picked up a new 22' Outlander 650 XT last week. I'm located just north of your border (Ottawa, ON) and it's been in the -10C to -30C the last week so no riding yet. But I did want to mention that for those of us living in the cooler parts of the world, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, do not use a 15w weight engine oil in this machine! You're asking for trouble! Might be okay for the year round hot climates, but definitely not here. Follow the manual. For me, I will be going to a 0w-40 on my first oil change. It's full synthetic and great for the warm and cold months. I am interested in that aluminum shifter plate. How are you liking it?

[@rotaxrednex]

I use that in the summer time in Virginia very hot, in winter I use 5W thanks for the comment, Canada would not do well at all at such a heavy weight

[@viperxbr]

@@rotaxrednex I was thinking about the shifter plate replacement. The issue I see with going to aluminum is the plastic airbox behind it. So the question would be, if something happens and the shifter plate dosen't give, what's the next part in line with it that would...the plastic air box. Would that not be a more costly item to fix than that plate? It's the same idea with installing say stronger, beefier axles for example. You want the axles to give before the differential explodes. A lot cheaper to replace an axle. You can apply the same logic with this shift plate. I'll probably just have a spare on hand incase some happens, like I do a CVT belt, but would pass on the stronger aluminum part. Just a suggestion... Cheers!

[@rotaxrednex]

@@viperxbr we have been riding these rigs for a long time and we have even had one of our guys lock up his transmission where he was attempting to force the linkage into position and it never damaged the airbox, how ever we have had multiple plastic linkages break on the trai locking the transmission into one gear (nightmare), but not one issue since we went aluminum with airbox or linkage ... so u don't have to change it but I personally would recommend it.

[@viperxbr]

@@rotaxrednex Sounds good! I'll be ordering one to have as a spare on hand just incase. Cheers!

[@SeanDube97]

Great bike a friend of ours actually bought it we should get him on the channel and do a review two years later!

[@johnlefevere6071]

Hey! Awesome video, may I ask where you got that rubber winch stopper and the black winch clasp? I just purchased a synthetic winch rope to swap out the crappy cable.

[@mcmuskie2563]

I just changed mine. 4hrs on the machine. Used the winch twice for light duty work and the cable kinked and was hard to pull out after reeling it in, under its own weight. I bought from Amazon and the rope was from Hunter. Very happy, a bit of work changing it out. I took the winch partially out to make it easier.

[@jerrymote8273]

Thank you!!! My can-am dealer wants $500 for a full break in service. What u did in the video was that a full break in service???? If so. U just saved myself a lot of money:)

[@gregs8678]

No you need your valves adjusted also which is critical atleast have the delay do that or kiss your warranty goodbye

Hi,just changed the engine oil on my 570 outlander,after the oil change ( and filter) when i start the engine, i hear a knocking noise and if change the gear it shuts down.is it because i didnt change the gearbox oil?

[@rotaxrednex]

Could be a couple things might want to get it checked out.

It’s super simple what Atv is it?

[@tonyaponte9834]

Great video

[@HowsyourBin]

Did you use same oils for all gear boxes 75w-140?

[@rotaxrednex]

No sir 75w-140 for gear box and rear diff 75w-90 for front diff

[@murfdog3963]

Do the skid plates come stock on the 850 X mr or did you put them on?

[@dsmith2656]

It literally says 250ML on the side of the diff case, now his diff is way over filled and fluid will probably start blowing out the vent tube or axle seals.

[@pjfan173]

Was more than 250 ML added?

[@destinhook3826]

Yup rear diff calls for 1” below fill hole. Seen too many guys blow their seals out from that.

[@rotz357]

For the diffs isnt the oil level pose to be right before the fill plug instead of leaking out. Or doesnt it matter that much

[@rotaxrednex]

Not a huge deal from what we have seen.

[@gregs8678]

When the shift linkage that’s designed to break doesn’t what breaks in its place. Not every product is a good one because someone said so on KZbin.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Nothing else breaks, it's just a poor design

[@dashcam5398]

The only thing you should of done when changing your tranny gear box is clean the speed sensor beside the nylon fill plug , very simple and recommended in the manual.. one bolt and pull it straight clean it and reinstall.

[@mcmuskie2563]

Not needed that early on, next time for sure.

[@jakemay5253]

So is the 15w-40 rotella the move?

[@rotaxrednex]

That’s what we like to run but the 5W-40 never had a issue

[@rogeliogarza5975]

What type of oil do you use for the transmission?

[@rotaxrednex]

For the gear box 75W-140 as recommended by can-am.

[@summerlee5605]

Hello! We have a can am outlander storage box, and we are now looking for someone to test it for us. Are you interested?

[@mrflip0921]

I see you went with 15w40..... doesn't the manual call for 10w50 in hot temp......0w40 in cold temp?

[@FierceProtocol]

Front Diff - 500ML Rear Diff - 300ML Gearbox - 400ML DO NOT OVERFILL - YOU WILL BLOW YOUR SEALS At no time after filling with the recommended amounts did oil come out of ANY of the top of my fill holes.

[@chriswalker3080]

Just FYI you dont fill your rear diff until it comes out. It takes 250ml only (it's stamped right on the diff casting). If you overfill you will blow your seals. I torque every drain and fill bolt also.

[@TwoFeetDown92]

Lol you gotta overfill by ALOT to blow a diff seal but good advice none the less. I second a torque wrench for stuff

[@bytorprairiedog700]

Wait my Shop manual says 300 ML ???? Is that CORRECT on the Rear Diff 2020 outlander 1000R ???

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Incorrect bud. It won't blow seals, it's vented diff not sealed

[@alexlane964]

Where did you get that storage box on the back?

[@dylanwaldun8890]

5w40 vs 15w40?

[@thomaskinchsular8030]

That’s water in your tranny oil, not a tint from metal shavings. Also don’t fill your rear or front diff until it pours out. Will have trouble with your seals in the future. Good video though!

[@TwoFeetDown92]

You gotta over fill by A lot to mess up a diff seal they’re vented…. Lol

[@tfish031]

21 renegade xmr 1000r. I run 75-140 in both diffs and I fill them until the oil starts to come out of the fill hole. Still running great.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

You are incorrect on both points there bud. That's definitely metal not water, and you do fill until it starts to come out. Educate yourself kid

Why royal purple in the rear but Lucas in the front?

[@AlexTorres-hw6jf]

Idk if it's just me. But I haven't seen 75w-90 in royal purple. I've only seen it in the 140

[@tfish031]

At 26 minutes in remember to check your water pump purge line. You can see the ammont of coolant in the clear line. That much is normal after a good 100 mile ride. If that hose is extremely full after a short or even a good long ride you should get the pump seals checked out.

[@Mudslinger2011]

I was told by a reputable atv mechanic to never use anything but 4 cycle atv oil because car oil foams at high rpm. I use royal purple max cycle oil and their gear oil for the diffs.

[@mcmuskie2563]

I’m using/buying Amsoil. It’s a few bucks cheaper than the factory fluids and I’m sure it’s better.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Sorry to break it to you but that's not a very reputable mechanic. He needs to educate himself a bit more

[@shperax]

Rotella T6 oil is for Diesel engines. You will most definitely void any warranty using this engine oil. Be aware of this fact if you decide to use that oil yourself. I would recommend to stick with the gasoline oils 5w40 for normal climates and 0w40 for cold climate use.

[@rotaxrednex]

Will not void any warranty but thanks for your comment

[@shperax]

@@rotaxrednex "If your vehicle is damaged as a result, the repairs needed won't be covered by the manufacturer. If you're going to do your own oil changes, make sure to use the type of oil recommended by the car manufacturer. "Thats in the manual for your ATV.

Why did yiu use 15w 40 I was told and read to use 5w 40
