I just called a CanAm dealer to have the oil and filter changed in my 2015 F3 and was given a price of $199.99. I usually do all my own oil changes including on a Harley Davidson. But $199.99?? How difficult is it to change out the filter? I watched a YouTube video and it seems a bit complicated and difficult to get at Any info and/or video will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance
But from the info here many are doing the oil changes with filter on the 1330 motors with no problem. The tough one is the transmission filter on the semi automatic models but that needs to be changed only after 28,000 miles. Follow the manual or get the shop manual and you will have no problems....:thumbup:
Although I have an RT, not an F3 the process is the same. A 36 mm 1/2" drive socket is the best tool to remove the oil filter cap. Use a Torx T45 for the oil plug and a 6 mm Allen for the transmission, a.k.a. clutch cover, plug. Follow the instructions on pg. 103 of your user's guide. Some folks are replacing the OEM plugs with Dimple or Gold Plug plugs because the 15 mm hex head is easier to work with.
Actually, the dealer quoted a pretty good price. Normal oil change service is $300 - $350.
Much better to do it yourself if you are mechanically able. :yes:
And...:welcome: and :congrats: on your new F3.
