So back to the discussion of engine oil capacity. BRP has changed the dip stick from 2019 to 2020. The dipstick for the 2019 model is yellow, has a measured distance of 6&1/2 inches from the contact point above the o-ring to the full line; part number is 420856675. For the 2020 model the dip stick is orange, has a measured distance of 7&3/8 inches from the contact point above the o-ring to the full line; part number is; 720856664.
This indicates that they have decided less oil should be added at change. It would have been nice if they had notified the purchasers of 2019 models as they warn in the owners manual against overfilling due to the possibility of engine damage.

Here's a thought. Maybe the the oil filler tube is .875 longer or is not as far in? on the 2020 Ryker. The part # for the 2019 tube is 420656905. 2020 # ??

Part number for the 2020 model is also 420656905. It appears only the dip stick was changed.

Thank for for the clarification.
I suspect that there may have been some frothing issues with the 2019, so Can-Am reduced the fill amount by 1/2 quart and changed the dipstick accordingly.
On my first oil change at 1200 miles, switching to 10W50, I did not change the oil filter and 3 quarts was perfect.
On my second oil change at 5622 miles, I did change the oil filter.
Ended up adding a 1/4 quart to my initial 3 quart fill to reach full mark on dipstick.
Note the color of the 2020 dipstick in the CVT filter photo.
