Can-Am Commander 800R-XT or 1000: Oil Change: 2.1 Quarts Full Synthetic 5w-40, Oil Filter

[@HeRacesTheSun]

I over filled mine. Easy to do, as I've been around off road machines my whole life. While checking oil levels the manuals always say... "Check oil level after machine is warmed up, do not screw in dipstick" So Can Am makes it the opposite of all those ingrained habits on my Commander and my Outlander ATV by saying... "To check oil level make sure machine is COLD, and screw in the dipstick COMPLETELY" Now I have to go and check the oil level on the Outlander to see if that's overfilled too, and have to remember every time I check oil on Can Am's. 'The opposite of all other machines' I'd better make a note somehow near the dipstick to remind me.

Thanks for your insight and great information. Do understand where you're coming from as it's easy to forget the process when not done daily.

Great Job! Very Informative! and the thing that I like most, Your Camera was not moving all over the place making me Sick. I get real bad motion sickness and 1/2 the videos on You tube the Camera is moving all over the place. Your camera skills are awesome!!!! keep up the great work!

Great video man! This just made my life so much easier!!

[@bigthyemgaming8264]

Do you need the stabilizer for the oil

[@davidkehrli5621]

Not sure from his video where the entry hole is for putting oil back into the engine....

[@dakotakohler5955]

Wonderful video

[@dakotakohler5955]

I’d recommend changing the o-ring along with making sure you smear oil on the pieces closest to sealing.

Thank you for the comment, defiantly agree. CanAm Commander Oil Change.

[@chrisleggett685]

you made it look easy. I found Castro edge 5w40 on sale at napa for $5.29/qt. Rotella or mobil diesel would be my 2nd choice

[@atvdirt1]

Appreciate the comment Chris and we do try our best to put good info out there.

[@TheSgt93]

A crap load of work for an oil change. Fail by the engineers.

[@cesargarcia4517]

Great info! Just did mine

[@CarlosMunoz-ky6km]

Will this oil change process work on a maverick 1000r turbo?

[@poolhub89]

In your notes, I believe you mean "viscosity" not velocity. Great vid, thanx.

[@atvdirt1]

Thanks for the clarification and comment!

[@hectorrios138]

Can I use 10w-40

[@toddandangelbrowning2920]

Do ya have to use synthetic oil?

[@atvdirt1]

Todd Browning, I wouldn't chance not using it.

[@victorsoria448]

Is that diesel engine oil?

[@atvdirt1]

Most relate it to diesel engine oil, but it has many applications. For the cost we feel like it's the best option.

[@victorsoria448]

K thanks just making sure i got the right oil for my maverick

[@slammds15]

Why add Lucas when you are using great oil? Lucas has great marketing skills but in lab results it is wasted money.... unless you want to add it to "Bob's swamp water" oil.
