I have the same model. I swapped out the factory foot boards for quad addiction steel boards. Makes servicing a little easier . Saves me about an hour . I really like the machine but removing the plastics is a pain.

👍

[@Canam_650XMR]

How often would you do this? Every 50 hours? And I assume a 650 xmr 2022 is the same outlander.

[@MaxsMotoShop]

I believe it’s every 3000 km recommended in the service manual but I would recommend every year if you ride hard and every two years if you only use your machine for late duties and if you’re doing really deep muddying, maybe twice a year

[@nsredneck]

I bought the oil change kit from the dealer and it came with the washer for the transmission plug and a 1 litre bottle of engine oil. I thought that was going in the transmission.

[@MaxsMotoShop]

The oil change kit is only for the engine oil

[@Recon98789]

Gear box oil change fill and drain plug is in the same place on a 19 570?

[@MaxsMotoShop]

Should be similar for all outlanders

[@Recon98789]

@@MaxsMotoShop Thanks for the reply! Ok I figure that. Got to change all my fluids now this weekend..

[@mannycalvar4254]

What tool do you use for gearbox fill plug? I stripped mine

[@MaxsMotoShop]

15 mm socket or wrench

[@gordy2286]

Will this work on the new 500/700. Or is that different?

[@MaxsMotoShop]

It should be very similar, but soon as I get a chance to do this job on the newer machine I will make a video

[@gordy2286]

Awesome thanks!!

[@mrhairy1221]

Where do I find one of those nifty little fill hoses?

[@MaxsMotoShop]

I believe it was a piece of 3/8 fuel hose

[@destinhook3826]

The rear diff is supposed to be around 1” lower than fill hole. I’ve seen guys blow seals constantly after overfilling them.

[@MaxsMotoShop]

Well, myself, and the manufacturer disagree having the proper amount of oil will not cause the seal to blow. If the seal fails it will leak just because you are running insufficient amount of oil does not mean your seal has not failed. It just means you no longer have enough fluid in your diff to see the leak.

[@noahhansell826]

@@MaxsMotoShop actually unless Can Am fixed the issue, the service manual says 1" below and it's true many people blow the seals due to not following the correct procedure.

[@MaxsMotoShop]

@@noahhansell826 if your diffs are leaking, it is because you are allowing dirt to build and force their way past the seal or you are using a pressure washer to blow that dirt through the seal. The exact words in the owners and service manual state the oil level should be level with the bottom of the threats. If you had any experience working on this machine, you would know it is nearly impossible to measure the oil level on the inside of a differential. The fact that you think myself, Can-Am mechanic reading the service manual from the manufacturer is wrong means you are definitely delusional.

[@MaxsMotoShop]

@@noahhansell826 leaking diff is not a common problem on Can-Am and is most the time user error

[@Ashton_Lackey]

you are right. you fill the front to the full hole, the rear is 1” below. i’ve done it wrong once and grenaded a diff. DO NOT FILL REAR DIFF TO FILL HOLE

[@shadowrider2918]

How do I know when to change the diff oil?

[@MaxsMotoShop]

Service manual says every 3000 km but it usually looks absolutely terrible at that point. I recommend once a season or every two years depending on how hard you ride.

[@shadowrider2918]

@@MaxsMotoShop thank you for the response, I’m trying to learn to work on my own 2017 can am outlander 570 max xt without having to take it somewhere

5mm, not "5 mil". Yes, there's a difference.
