Transmission Filter and "O" ring
Good Morning:
Does anyone have a source for the NEW style transmission filter for a 2012 RT SE5? My dealership is smoking crack. They want almost $25.00 for the filter and "O" ring.
I spoke with Baja Ron. He does not carry them and BRP was no help either.
Thanks for you help.
Ed

Amazon, Powersport Superstore, or OEMcycle.com. I use the Hi-Flo brand.

Hi-Flo only makes the regular oil filter (That is the brand BajaRon sells). They do not make the transmission filter, which is what the OP is looking for.

Teddy did some dig'n & found what you need

Not all dealers work with Shopatron, Dave... I always have to get my parts ordered thru this system shipped to Memphis, and there are 3 BRP dealers in the metro area alone. Just FYI...

Bought one today at my dealer in Winston Salem and with a 10% discount it came to $7.19 incl NC tax. Find you another dealer or order several from one of the on-line dealers who price them reasonably. As to O rings, I think I changed mine once some time ago. If they aren't damaged I can see no reason to change them often. This practice is based on many years with diff bikes. I've never had a leak.

I missed him wanting the longer filter. HiFlo does have the original transmission filter available, HF559. And that is still what I use, with the short cover. Works fine, the oil will be toast before the filter is loaded with dirt.

Curiousity piqued, I went to the dealer today and looked into the kit. New deeper cover, o-ring, and longer filter, 8.99 . I got my 10% good customer discount, so it was less than 9.00 even with tax.

Why not every other oil change?
Would be nice if BRP would allow going two oil changes on the Xmsn filter like they once did. Back then, the shorter filter apparently had some issues, like collapsing, and that may be why they went to replacement at every oil change. Later they came out with the extended cap and filter wire covered outside and inside to prevent collapsing. Seems to me this one should be good for 2 oil changes. But then there's the old "warranty bug-a-boo".............
Top quality car filters are good for 15K and more. My Accord calls for filter change every other time and some of these car filters are really tiny!

I don't think you need to worry about warranty if you go an additional oil change between filters. The engine probably won't fail until it's out of warranty. What I don't understand is why anyone would put clean oil on top of a dirty filter

Could be cheap insurance for as cheap as they are, just my .02

Lot of folks have the extened warranty and do worry about these things. I'm really only concerned about my clutch and thats covered anyway.
Unless you do some sort of flush your motor and transmission will always have some "dirty" oil left in after a drain and I doubt if the two filters combined hold more than a tablespoon or so.

I seems silly to me to buy a $25,000 plus machine then quibble over stretching the life of a $10 filter. JMHO

Didn't realize I was "quibbling", but if you see it that way, so be it.

I've never been a proponent of extended oil changes; I've done too many lab reports that prove otherwise, and do mine every 4K unless a lab test calls for one earlier.
It's not that messy when you have the right technique. Take a rag and stuff the edge of it between the cooling fins with a screwdriver just below the filter housing. The oil that runs out is caught by the rag. Almost nothing to clean up.

Thanks Billy.....I'll give it a another try; got a change coming up shortly. When I did try, the rag it fell out so I never bothered again. You'd think I'd have it down pat by now inasmuch as I do mine and a couple others as well.

Anyone know where I can get a transmission filter for a 2012 Rss SE5. I was using KN 559. Seems to be discontinued by kn. And hiflo 559 matches up with the old smaller cover that Can Am changed to but I have the updated cover which is bigger
