My Can-Am SPYDER F3 Oil Change....Don't Get Torquey With Me, TommyG! 😂

@Purple On Three Haha, well just in case the pre-oil change procedure to ride for 9 or 10 miles, and then idle for 9 or 10 minutes wasn't enough of a deterrent for us to change our own oil, some smart alec designer thought... hey, let's put a teensy tiny plastic tube behind the break reservoir to frustrate the heck out of the Do-It-Yourself oil changers, and maybe breakable drain bolts too !!! 😡😞🤣🤣

[@PSPTommyG]

[@PurpleOnThree]

Thank you so much, William! We love to make folks laugh!😂 How hard is it to change the oil on your bike? Even checking the oil is a process on the Spyder...drive it at least 9 miles, park it on a level surface and let it run for 10 min, turn off the engine and check the oil level within 2 minutes of turning off the engine. Oh...and did you notice the color of the dipstick? Kind of matched the clean oil...maybe white would have been a better option. Our garage door is heavy with all those stickers turned magnets on it. Do you have any logo stickers? I can send you some of ours or even some of our magnets for your garage if you like. Tommy is a collector of cool tin signs. Hope you have a great week!💜🤗

Jody, nice job. I see you bought the light @ Harbor Freight !, love that place. I bought the plastic push-pin removal tools from there and the motorcycle floor jack. When I do my oil changes, I bought off Amazon a product called "oil absorbent pads - aka oil diapers" to put under my drain pan and around the floor. When I jscked up my bike, I used my two ramps under the front tires and a single jack stand under the rear center of the frame (you have 2x6/2x4..so that works as well too :) ). Thanks for the video !

[@PurpleOnThree]

Oh, well, then, you come visit and you can go shopping with Tommy at Harbor Freight! 😂 Thank goodness ours are not large stores...Tommy has a floor jack for his HD but we don't have one for the Spyder...maybe I'll get one for my birthday!

[@PurpleOnThree]

Thank you, Doug! That is good to know and I am very happy that you don't have to deal with that ridiculous piece of tubing! So... Does the brake fluid reservoir still fit in the same kind of bracket? And guess what? Tommy says he watched an under 5 minute video today from Can-Am... They show how to change the oil without moving that reservoir... Can you please share your oil change experience 😁🤷‍♀️... Thank you!

[@douglasmontgomery6315]

@@PurpleOnThree Jody, yes the reservoir fits into the bracket, but there is a metal spring clip that holds it from popping out. No rubber bottom pieces to push out or that tube in the back anymore. Yes, I did my oil change as well without removing the reservoir. I put the oil filter in the lid first, that made it easier to angle back into the housing. I'll video my next one, just didn't video this one, since there were so many online at the time (as you pointed out, Moabman has a nice one and the newer Can Am video is there as well). I will be posting a video on my ArmyChief channel next month on oils and specifically for wet-clutch systems like ours.

[@stanweaver]

I recently used some car ramps (turned around backwards) behind the front tires to wash the road Salt from my trip up north. I may get another (pair) and have the back tire up on a ramp as well so it will be level as you suggest but still be high off the ground. The snapping off of the bolt is one of those things that make me want to let someone else do the work so they have to fix anything that breaks. The problem is, I don't trust anyone to do a great job these days. Thanks for a GREAT VIDEO!!!! It was very timely because I was just talking myself into doing my own oil change. My 2021 RT is a bit different but I am sure I will figure out out.

[@PurpleOnThree]

Well, that sounds very innovative! Thank you so much, Stan! Tommy said to tell you we're headed south in April and we can stop and help.

Hello, Rick! Good question. The 2018 F3 oil capacity is more than 5 quarts. The kits come with 5.5 quarts...so I start with 5 and go from there. We used a low profile jack on the frame of the Spyder near the floor boards to jack it up and then used the 2 x 4's. It's not necessary but does make the process easier. Hope this helps you @rickmoore9840 💜🤗

Oil changes are always an annual highlight for me because it tells me the riding season is about to start. As a rule of thumb, I change the oil every March regardless the mileage as towing adds additional strains to the engine and clutch. 🙌

Trick I learned for the drain plugs. If you remove the black ring before the green ring, the black ring won't fall into the green rings groove. Then install the green ring first and slip the black on over the green. Makes life easier.

[@PurpleOnThree]

I really appreciate you sharing this tip!! Thank you...anything to make life easier is much appreciated!! 💜🤗

[@JdubbVlogs]

It’s always good for a woman to know how to do a oil change

[@PurpleOnThree]

I totally agree! My dad told me today that when I was a little kid, I had my own set of coveralls and would crawl under the car with him while he worked.🥰

[@robertarton6141]

Do you have to use a torque wrench? Love ❤️ Your Channel.

[@PurpleOnThree]

Thank you so much...I really appreciate that! 💜🤗 Well, I don't know any other way to know how tight or not tight the plugs are (because the manual indicates the settings) and if you overtightened that could cause some serious damage...so I'm going to keep on torquing...just going to keep it out of that Tommy's hands! 😂

[@johnrita]

good job.. I'll be changing mine shortly

[@PurpleOnThree]

Thanks! Have you changed your oil before? I never had an interest in doing that until I got my Spyder!

[@johnrita]

@@PurpleOnThree not on Bleu II yet... I didn't have a place to work on the Spyder when we were in MA.. (lived in an apartment complex) now we have a garage .. wooohooo.. I got the kit when I had our 2013 Spyder but traded it in for the 2016 Spyder before i could change it.. I have to pick up a filter and will be good to go.. If you know anybody that needs the oil filters for a 2013 lmk

[@PurpleOnThree]

@@johnrita so wonderful you more have a garage to do that in!! I will keep that in mind about the filters. Are you on the lamonster spyder forum? I bet you could sell them on there. Guess what? Massachusetts is one of the states we will be riding in June when we do New England. 😁🤗💜

[@stveichman3329]

Are the sump cover and clutch cover drain bolts the same size?

[@PurpleOnThree]

I thought I remembered that they were the same, but my memory was wrong, lol. 1/2 inch on Trans/Clutch side and 11/16 on the other side. Both were purchased on Amazon and are Big Bike Parts Show Chrome. Hope that helps!

[@johndolan4811]

Hi, Any reason you can’t slip a cable tie around the brake reservoir, instead of your white coloured pin?

Thats the problem with the spyders, you spend more time removing body panels and random parts than you do the actually oil change. nice job on this video.

[@PurpleOnThree]

I guess it comes with the territory! Thank you, Ryan! Have a great day and be safe out there! 💜🤗

[@JohnLopez-gt6og]

You beautiful woman you, thanks for this, the dealer wanted an arm and a leg for the service, for less than what they wanted I can buy all the tools and the oil and then I'll have the tools for future oil changes, thank you from a fellow spider rider 👍

[@PurpleOnThree]

John! Thank you for your comment! First of all, I am happy to hear from a fellow Spyder Rider! How long have you had your Spyder? What model, color? Love to hear about others' rides! Yep, not hard at all to change the oil. You know, a few months ago, Amazon had a great deal on oil change kits...$30 off the usual price, so I stocked up, lol! Take care, keep riding and stay safe out there! 💜🤗

They should make ALL the design engineers work on what they think is a good idea. Ok mister smarty pants, you think a little tube stuffed back behind what it's holding is a good idea? You have 20 seconds to get it out or we cut your pay.🤔🤯😱🤪

[@janicekirby-l6w]

You almost have to do it yourself. $535.00 just to change oil and filter at dealer

[@PurpleOnThree]

Oh my gosh... that sounds like highway robbery... Have you shopped around for a different dealer? I drive 250 miles to my dealership and I have an appointment there in April to get my new tires put on. But here is what he charges for an oil change... The last oil change kit cost $144 plus labor and his labor is $100 per hour... That was in June of 2023 before we left for our Alaska trip because I wanted several other things done and figured I might as well get my oil changed because he is so reasonable. In Alaska I changed it myself as I had shipped an oil kit to our friend's house in North Pole.. Back in 2021 I paid $177 for an oil change and that included the labor. I realize prices have gone up in the past few years... In 2021 that oil kit cost $113.99.
