[@michellecolgrove2104]

Thanks for the video. Can Am oil change is 3x's harder than my RZR oil change.

[@timsexton]

Lol, you got that right... Mine=2017 RZR XP Turbo = I completed service in 1 hour. My Brother=2019 Can Am Maverick X3 Turbo = Dunno, he was still working on it 2 hours after beginning service. *_TRUST !!_*

[@ApachesOffroad]

Thanks dude, i did my first oil change on my 2021 x3 👍

[@shanelewisracing]

ahhhh You should show WAY more rags. What was Can Am thinking? Thanks for the info !

[@BearTeam]

Why two drain screws ? Is it different reservoir?

Can you please post a video on how to change the oil on a can am maverick 1000R turbo 4 seater?

[@ziadajam5433]

It’s the same shit

[@juanorte3526]

Thanks for this video! Easy to understand.

Someone needs to make a dipstick tube extension & extended flexible dipstick to route it to a more accessible location.

[@kimberlyestevez7586]

Hello, i just saw this very helpful video. But how do I reset the Oil change light on the screen?

Buen Dia; favor el mantenimiento de Ambos cloches ( primario y secundario ) deve ser cadas cuantas horas de uso ( no tengo manual )

[@jatrevino11]

I over torqued the small drain plug and stripped the oilpan threads. Can I still use it or do I have to rethread it for the next size bolt/replace the oil pan? I don't plan on using it that way for long. I just need it for a 2 day trail ride (75 mi +-). Great video, but you should mention that over tightening the bolts could result in thread stripping.

[@rmatvmc]

You should be able to tap and use a helicoil insert to repair the threads.

[@heathwilliams1639]

buy a RZR

[@mjhmech4903]

Hi guys. I noticed you final oil level after starting was halfway ( Perfect for 1503/1630 Rotax in Sea-Doo) is this the case with the H/O turbo engine's in the Mav X3 also? Thanks

[@filiruiz8684]

What kind of oil does a 18 maverick x3 Max use

[@rmatvmc]

The Can-Am XPS oil is recommended but there are a few different options for that machine. I'll link all 3 below so you can check them all out: www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/can-am-xps-4-stroke-synthetic-oil-change-kit-p?v=15334 www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/can-am-oil-change-kit-p?v=15334 www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/can-am-xps-4-stroke-synthetic-blend-oil-change-kit-p?v=15334 Just be sure to enter your exact machine so you can be sure they will work. Hope that helps!

Buenos Dias gracias poor la informacion Del cambio de aceite y filtro

[@Bingoz277]

Thanks dude...awesome job.

[@TheBandit7613]

I have an X3. Most messy (stupid) oil change I've ever done. What's with the two drain plugs? Why no oil change trap door? Before changing oil make sure you have paper towels and kitty litter.

[@shanelewisracing]

trap door right !!!

[@brianmonger3452]

Agreed the damn plugs are directly over the cross section and the stupid flexible funnel they sell is about a half inch shy of catching any of it.

[@samueltorres9303]

Look at oil change for model 22&23 you have to turn on and do a drain mode on it by acc and leave power press for 5 seconds three times until fully drain

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

Is thier a reason why 2 bolts have to be removed to drain oil. Why cant it be just the Magnetic bolt . Just asking I'll still remove both, Just wondering

[@Yielar1]

Oil changes are faster and more effectively drained with 2 plugs

[@danieljones8173]

I would stick a rag in there sop up the old oil(inside the housing ) check the O ring on the old filter see if it comes out w the filter

[@gerardox3820]

Thank you very useful video

[@CABALLOS101]

I just got the 2018 maverick x3 900ho. I looked at the bottom side of the engine and it just has the 17 millimeter hex head. Not the 10 millimeter. So do i just drain the 17 millimeter one? Please help

[@stevengeary1563]

Good vid

[@fernandozavala388]

How would we take out some oil if it shows to high on the dip stick?

[@dustyfarmer]

Remove & quickly replace the drain plug or use a clean 200ML syringe with clean plastic hose down the filler/dipstick tube & suction the required amount out. Pay attention to the amount of engine oil recommended & the amount you pour in, the recommended amount should get you to a correct dipstick reading first off.

[@fernandozavala388]

[@blaze553]

I have a '17 X3 and somehow my first oil change went really well. It's about time to change it again... I really hope I can remember how I did it the first time. Lol.

[@rmatvmc]

Good luck! Need any help you know where to find us!

[@vitof2177]

Great video, thank you.

[@rmatvmc]

Glad you liked it!

[@markmem1234]

Why didn’t you Soak the new oil filter in oil. On my crf 450r or any vehicle it’s a must to keep from burning the oil pump up or running the motor dry of oil during initial start.

[@rmatvmc]

It can be a good idea to pre oil some spin on style filters but it's generally not required or recommended for cartridge style filters like these. Like always it's best to check the service manual for whatever machine you're working on but even for the newer CRF's, Honda doesn't say anything about pre soaking the oil filter in the service manual. Hope that helps!

Can you please post a no brake pad replacement no a maverick x3 xmr turbo r

[@MattHarris89]

Nice video, good job guys

[@chrishouk6938]

Why is there two oil drain plugs on the x3

[@Dieseldillon25]

Shouldn’t you take the oil filter loose first so it drains the filter housing so when you drain the oil it drains all of the oil?

[@FlatPlaneCranky]

Remove the drain plugs first and leaving them out, remove the oil filter and that is the least mess you’ll make, and thoroughly drain all oil. Then install the filter and cap then install both drain plugs. Way less mess and thorough drain.

[@Ramg66]

@@FlatPlaneCranky This is the Best comment on here, this is my 3rd oil change, and it made a big difference... Thank you, Sir!

[@Thedirtylittlesecret]

What weight of oil is used by factory?

[@AdamLoerts]

5w40 synthetic (4-stroke SAE)

[@kabbey30]

Is that Maveric X3 in the video lifted or over sized tires, maybe? Looked kind of tall to me.Thank you for the video. I pick mine up next week. Okay, it's probably on jack stands for service, I think.

[@pannett1]

Prolly so all of these machine have pretty large tires

[@ivan1215]

Please post one for the maverick 1000 turbo 4 seater

[@mrtosh]

ivan1215 same process.

[@ivan1215]

mrtosh how do I remove the seats? A video will help a lot

[@mrtosh]

ivan1215 Not sure why you would need to remove the seats for this but there are 4 volts per chair slider and they come out.

[@ivan1215]

mrtosh I just wish you could upload a video so I don't miss any of the specs (I.e. Amount of oil needed, etc)

[@mrtosh]

@ivan1215 the specs and procedure are the same. The engine take 3.7 quarts of oil.

[@PlayscBricks]

We've removed the skid plate for better viewing. Lol. You mean we removed it because it's almost impossible with it in?.

[@bodon87]

buen trabajo good job

[@sugarfrugis9771]

Deben especificar cada que kilómetros devén ser cambiado el aceite y el filtro gracias

[@rmatvmc]

El manual de servicio lo dice asi, por hora. Con esta maquina se recomenda que a cada 50-100 horas debe cambiar el aceite y filtro.

[@gpbodi]

Instructions are clear in the video but I will say that this oil change is not easy by any means. Can-Am makes an amazing vehicle, but I would suggest that future designs should consider making oil changes much easier to complete. Just my 2 cents..

[@danieljones8173]

They should used a SPIN ON filter with a relocation kit

[@johnwild757]

Thanks

[@GavinRedman]

Every video I've seen tells people to add 3.7 quarts. DO NOT DO THIS. Add maybe 3.4 at most and get your machine up to temp, shut it off and check level. Its easier to add more than take it out. Just saying. These machines read low when cold.

[@davidkron9091]

I’m not sure where you guys get the 3. 7 quarts from…? Any Can-Am Maverick X3 from 2017 to 2019 holds approximately 4 quarts “BRAND NEW” of oil. At first oil change and beyond, engine will take approximately 2 quarts of oil (read dipstick when filling). Please edit or remove this video it is very misleading thank you

[@AdamLoerts]

'22 X3 RR uses 3.7 US Quarts per the Operator's Guide procedures (page 123). Maybe it's for '20 and newer? That would be odd though since this video was released in 2017, lol.

sounds good. give it away to me please :)

[@dirtworxphotography245]

Idk this video is not how 98% of X3 oil changes go.

[@rmatvmc]

What steps were different?

[@dirtworxphotography245]

Well the skid plate and stuff you took off. You should do another video without taking anything off. Yes it is a helpful video but alot of us dont do it like that.

[@benji._.997]

What a pain in the ass if you don’t remove the skid plate so it won’t be so messy but doable if you don’t overfill the oil like me and had to do it all over again and spill oil all over the place 🙃🙃🙃🤦‍♂️😭

Such a mess dangit

[@ziadajam5433]

This is not the right way to do it. I’m sure it’s not that big of a deal but you’re gonna end up with old oil residue. Notice how when you removed the oil filter it was still full of oil… after you drain the oil, put your key in the ignition press the gas pedal all the way down and hold the starter button for 5 seconds This is called flood mode, it will let out another half a quart of oil. After oil stops draining do it again and do not exceed 5 seconds. This should completely drain your oil
