First Service on the KRX - Changing ALL the fluids!

[@FitnessFreak3_2]

I love how it has a sight glass for the oil, all other brands need to take notes on this

[@bpdavies68]

In addition to what Mark A Johnson said....puncture the oil filter at the bottom with a large nail to drain the oil before removing the filter from the engine and use the aluminum foil as a funnel.....this works great !! Awesome videos !!! I just ordered the dash plates for mine.....nice touch, gonna paint them silver as you did to match the white machines seats.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Awesome. Those will be shipping today.

[@thedudeify]

Thx man just reached my 200mi and I feel like I have already changed the fluids because of the style of filming!!! You guys rock 👍🤙

[@mainlyoctober]

Thank you all! Very informative and helpful as I’m nearing my first service on my machine. My dealer quoted $375 for my first maintenance. I’m like... that seems a little high to me. So I’ll do it myself lol

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Sounds good, thanks for watching! -Garrett

[@allanking508]

Might void warranty though.

[@alexpeterson9352]

I just punch a hole in the bottom corner of the oil filter with a long funnel under it, and let it drain for a while before I screw off the filter, it save alot of oil from spilling. But thats just how I do it.

[@yellowsuzuki06]

Really enjoy how engaged you guys are in other channels. Very detailed on the process.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

We like to keep up with everything and everyone we can! Thanks for watching -Garrett

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

Looks pretty simple and straight forward!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep very easy overall. -Garrett

[@ralphkeith501]

I've got major garage envy! My next house has to have a 4-car garage.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Shhhh. Don’t say that. Garrett’s head is already big enough. It’s definitely nice to have a space to do this stuff. -Dave

[@markajohnson4583]

Next time - make a funnel from aluminum foil (raid the wife's kitchen) for under the oil filter. You can form it to drain right into your drain pan! Great video!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Great point! -Garrett

[@dkheaton]

This video saved me a bunch of money. Thanks

[@chetripley659]

Well mine did not go as smooth. It turns out that the 13 foot lbs of torque from the factory on the oil filter was applied by big foot. After fighting to get it off and using 5 different pullers I was finally able to make a tool that worked by fashioning my own tool out of the two new ones I purchased and the old ones I had. 7 hours later I was able to change the oil on two machines. Do yourself a favor and buy a filter with a bolt pre attached to put it on and take it off. I used the K&N after this experience.

[@patd4u2]

I just purchased the oil filter socket that he used in the video. I cannot get my oil filter off either. Whoever put that on really tightened it down.

[@marvinevans8789]

Super easy! Very good video again guys. 👍👍😎

[@780Aleks-AB]

Sweet KRX. Love the way they look. Also gotta show some love for the 6.0 too. I own one nothing sounds like it. Mines bullet proofed so no issues with mine.🤟

[@DerangedOffRoad]

The 6.0 does sound nice especially with a 5” pipe. It’s been bulletproofed as well but I did have an injector go down a few weeks ago. That’s the only issue I’ve had with the truck since I bought it. -Dave

[@DUNEATV]

Deranged Off-Road I’ve got a mint 7.3...but your 6.0 sounds sweet!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I had a really nice 97 crew cab 4x4 7.3 for quite a while. It was a sweet truck. I did an inter cooler on it. Sold it with 257,000 miles on it. Not one spec of rust. -Dave

[@DUNEATV]

Deranged Off-Road Mine is a 1999 F350 Crew Cab 4x4 6 speed ZF6

[@jasonw4025]

Take screw drive and punch a hole in the oil filter it will allow the oil suction to be released and it will drain out more and you wont have to worry about it dripping when you remove the oil filter! Great video!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Thanks for the input. 👍 -Garrett

[@lookerfromaz]

Thank you for the info, I utilized your video for reference. This was my 1st time doing an oil change on my KRX. I too did my service at 170 miles (1st oil change).

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Awesome, glad it helped out! 👍 -Garrett

[@patd4u2]

Thanks for the links to the tools you used, I just ordered the oil filter wrench. Did my first service today and I cannot get that oil filter off. So I'll change that when the wrench comes in in a couple days.

@@DerangedOffRoad Does the front window with vents open keep the dust from swirling around in cab? or do you need to have the back window also?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I have a back window as well, but the vents are big and let in a good amount of air. So it should push it right out the back if you didn’t have a rear window. -Garrett

[@boblaws9851]

@@aldendonston4334 I have no back window, and it does a great job of keeping the dust from sucking into the cab. The vent doesn't even have to be fully open for it to be effective. It is well worth the money.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Dealers are crazy

[@1gr8oil]

Nice unit, and it looks pretty easy to service. Did you start it after changing the engine oil so the filter would "Fill up", and then check the level again?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yes we ran it for a few minutes then checked the oil level. -Garrett

[@dkheaton]

Thanks for all the great videos. I am learning a lot from you guys. Can you tell me anything about stopping all the dust coming in from the doors and such? When I am riding my left leg is completely covered in dust. What have you done about this?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I’m working on a solution to help cut it down and when I get it done, I’ll do a vid on it. 👍

[@dkheaton]

@@DerangedOffRoad Awesome and thanks for the reply. I see that Kawasaki sells one for $99 but it is out of stock.

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

Great video thanks for sharing, My only question is is why did you drive around the block to warm the oil up? why you did you warm the oil up to a 40 weight ? when a cold 10 weight drains much easier... no hate I truly need to know...Thanks

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Oil drains much easier when warm, but it was mainly for the gear oil. I have never heard any oil draining easier cold? Please explain.

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

@@DerangedOffRoad well you're using a multi viscosity oil 10w40... 10 being what it is at being cold 40 as 40 weight being when the engine is at the operation temp. A 10 would flow better then a 40w ?

[@kccarrtheoregonhillbillyhi4803]

@@DerangedOffRoad and then let me ask you this let's say you don't start it up and you let that oil drain out your not circulating everything that has settled in the bottom of that pan..... and I'm not trying to cause an argument or anything I'm truly trying to understand this

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Even in the Kawasaki KRX manual, it says to warm the engine throughly.

This will be invaluable IF the purchase happens

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Say what?

[@crustyz422]

Hey man quick question..im ready to do my first service and I was wondering about crush rings/o-rings needed? Do you know if they use the same drain plugs/crush rings etc as the Teryx4? This is got me held up🤦‍♂️ Thanks man

[@DerangedOffRoad]

If you order the oil change kit, it should come with o-rings and crush washers. Mine did but the crush washers were the wrong size. Couldn’t find the right size at the major auto part stores nearby so I reused the old ones. No leaks and torqued to spec. -Joe

[@crustyz422]

@@DerangedOffRoad hmm ok well I might just do the same for now. I found that the gear oil plug and the rear diff both use crush rings 12x22 and the front is a O-ring not sure the size but for what its worth thats what i found. Thanks again brotha and if you figure it out please share🤙

[@marcopolo8424]

Nice machine, by the way, did you guys try it in a deep mud/dirt with mud tires on? Are suspension points and U joints all greasable or non greasable ?

[@MG-jp5ij]

I just ordered a first time service kit for my new KRX and they sent me one bottle of gear oil and one bottle of Wet brake oil. Should I use it?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yeah gear oil up front and back, don’t use the wet in the back.

[@Bean-sz7sr]

I'm just a little curious why you left the oil fill cap off why you were removing the oil filter? I just think that's asking for something to fall in. Just my $0.02's...

[@scottmeuselbach5806]

Makes it drain out faster

[@aldendonston4334]

What's your opinion on using full synthetic or petroleum-based engine oil?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Honestly to me I’m not to picky because they all work. I run Kawasaki brand what it calls for in the manual and that’s it. I’ll probably go to full synthetic with higher miles. People really get into brands of oils and stuff but Kawasaki brand oil is cheap and works great. -Garrett

[@chuckieubanks]

can you guys do a brake pad change video?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I actually might be getting close to that. 👍 -Garrett

[@chuckieubanks]

@@DerangedOffRoad I just did the rear pads at 800 miles. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work. Thanks

[@ReneLaprevotte]

Why would you have the giant crankcase filler plug out when you're taking off the oil filter? All you're doing is inviting crap to fall into that yawning opening to your crankcase! Leave that plug in until you're ready to add oil. Also, how about how much lube went into the differentials and crankcase?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Oil drains faster. We keep our rugs clean so there's no crap to fall in. Fluid capacities are all listed in the manual.

[@parkerjennings3291]

Thanks much on this video now i know what tools i need and were the drains are! WHAT COOLANT DO YOU GUYS RUN FOR THE RADIATOR?

[@marshallmiller4169]

A little trick for the oil filter, steal some tin foil from the wife, and make a dam out of it straight into the oil catch pan.

[@peadookie]

Did you guys replace the o rings on the front or rear diff bolts? I'm doing my change tonight, not sure if I need to worry about this or not...

[@DerangedOffRoad]

No, if your careful when removing they should be good. I hardly ever change them out. -Garrett

[@peadookie]

@@DerangedOffRoad awesome and thanks for the quick response. My hunch was just to check them and make sure they weren't nicked or anything. Sounds like I'll be good to go!

[@davewhalen5981]

Appreciate the video, well done....but seriously, how do you get it so clean? No matter what I try there is always dirt somewhere

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Well Dave and Joe know that answer. I spend time pressure washing everything really well. I know I’m picky for sure. 👍-Garrett

[@robertdean6222]

Your video should be more specific like the tools needed, and the proper torque specifications. You will however, need a 6 and 8 mm Allen wrench along with a 27 and a 17 mm. six point socket and a 65 mm oil filter wrench . this will be necessary to change the oil and front and 12:20 rear diffs. Refer to owner manuals for proper torque specifications.

Garrett can correct me if I’m wrong but when I was looking through the book it had the valve check at 100 hrs I believe. Machines these days are definitely not like those from the 80s and 90s. They’re getting to be more like a car engine. When was the last time we had to worry about checking valves on a car? -Dave
