Commander 1000 oil change

I am going to do an oil change on my commander....how many quarts and what grade oil do you use? I was going to run AMS oil.



Any thoughts??

I had my first one done at the dealer.....

That's what my dealer told me T-bone,get the first one done at the dealer.

i think every dealer tells you to have them do the first one...but i never do...unless they offer the first as a freebie

Mine sure wasn't a freebie and I'm not even sure they done everything they were supposed to! I know some boy's out on Maple Fork road that I'm going to have my next service done by! (JBS)

yeah thats something else that concerns me...them not doing what they bill you for...i do it myself i know it was done

i heard just using any synthetic 40w oil will work for the rzr...i did the same thing though bought the polaris oil spent way to much money on...but ill know next time...and thanks for the compliment jetdriverx

The first one was done at the dealer. It's a requirement for can am. It's time for the second one.

I just found it. It's 5-40. I will go grab some AMS oil tomorrow

Well here is what you need to do the oil change. The oil came from World Class and the filter came from Can Am Winston Salem.

How many mile you got on your commander, Tbone

450

Tbone, any reason Amsoil?

This is what I have run in the FO-FIDDY since I have had it!!! I have filled the engine full of water once,and run the crap out of it trying to keep up with rayray and she keeps chugging along!! I am a firm believer in AMSOIL!! I run it in my Pickup,Suburban,and Rhino!!

The Can-am does not have a wet clutch in the motor. In all my Can-am's I run Mobil 1 0W-40. That's the good stuff -- German oil.

Amosoil 4 stroke Oil (or any Motorcycle 4-stroke Oil) does not have friction modifiers. That is important on a Honda, Arctic Cat, or Yamaha with a wet clutch but not on a Can-am. I want the friction modifiers in my oil for my Can-am -- the slicker the better!!

I had my 10 hour maint. done today an I was told that the AMSOil was better that the BPR oil buy the teck at the dealership

I too had my first service done at the dealer. I was wondering how difficult it would be to change it myself next time. Any input TBone?

Mobile 1 5w40 turbo diesel truck for me. Been siphoning it out of my jet skies, vehicles, boat, rzr for years. Makes it easier and cleaner therefore more inclined to do it in a timely fashion. On the rzr mud and dirt tends to pack in behind the filter. Clean behind the filter (water hose, screwdriver) before removing it. I'm sure dealers don't do this.

Oil change is easy, pull passenger side seat, then pull engine cover off.

Something like this for a siphon pump.

i was talked into using maxima semi synthetic several years back and have seen and had great results. we ran it in our utility quads and race quads and even our 2 stroke race bikes

i am certainly no expert and have no idea what you mean when you say modifiers, but we like maxima

It is dirt easy. You need 3 quarts of oil. I run the AMS oil. I highly recommend running the brp oil filter. I get it locally here in town.

Take the right side panel off and your good to go.

I have a post in here somewhere of my first oil change.

Here it is.........
