• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs.

Hello to all, I am just curious ,here in Canada it cost me $110 Canadian to do a oil change with the can am kit. What does it cost you in the lower 48 to do a oil change with what oil and filter. Thanks.
 
Depends...

Are we talking only the oil, filter/s O rings etc. Or are we talking supplies and labor..? What model, engine and transmission..?
For me...2012 RS sm5 using BRP blend kit bought online and doing it myself = $65.00 the se5 is like $80.00
Not familiar with the 1330 triple costs.. :thumbup:
 
5 quarts of castrol full syn. on amazon for 33 bucks....A kn filter from there as well 7 bucks. Total 40 bucks.Use the rings 3 times. I change at 6000 miles 2014ST. The 10 40 or the 5 40 are both 37 bucks per 6 pack shipped on amazon today. Most times its aprox. 50 bucks a 6 pack. This is a fine motorcycle oil......Much better than the BRP Blend.
 
Rotella T6 full synthetic 5 qt=28.70
filters (2) and washers and o rings from Baja Ron=25.95

2012 RTL with electric shift. O rings and washers do not need to be changed every time

:agree:... with Not changing the " O " rings , washers etc.... If it leaks I will re-place them.. …. Rotella " T 6 " full syn oil ( after rebate ) $ 23.75 .. K&N filter $5.75 ( no labor - I don't charge myself :roflblack: ) ….Total $ 29.50 …………… and the satisfaction I can do this myself at 72.....:clap: It is getting to be a bit difficult to lift the RT and hold it level while I do the change :roflblack::roflblack::ohyea:...…….. Mike :thumbup:
 
I'm also in Canada and it costs me about $75 CAD to do a change.
I took the seals from a BRP change kit to a seal shop and had them make me some kits up with higher quality seals than what is supplied. ($11 a kit)
Order my filters online from Fortnine ($9) and get my oil from Amsoil. ($55)
 
My container lists this info … T6 - 5W/40 - heavy duty Diesel -Synthetic Extreme Temperature..... I'm pretty sure my first container said the same thing …… Mike :ohyea:

Ok thanks Mike just the words heavy duty diesel scares me a bit in a gas engine. But it sounds like most are using it so I will give it a try. Thanks
 
I paid $ 169.10 at dealership that includes:
1 Gasket ring,
3 O rings,
1 Gasket,
1 filter oil,
5 quarts of Valvoline 4T Stroke Full Synthetic Oil( Superior Wet Clutch Protection) SAE 10W -40, ( I supply the oil)

Also, the above price includes Storage prep and summer ready, VSI, oil and filter change.

Do you balance the bike on one leg and one hand Mike? It might help a little bit. It still leaves a leg and a hand to do the work.
 
I've always done them myself, and I've paid $85 and I've paid $40....it all depends on what oil you buy. I haven't seen any advantage to buying the more expensive oils. It's Rotella T6 for me next time. I DO think it helps to spend a little more on a quality filter though.
