Brandi changes the oil in the Can Am - gets a little messy... Busybody by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommon...) Artist: audionautix.com
Little tip from the kitchen / I use aluminum foil under the drain funnel / I tear a good size square and roll up the sides as to make a small cookie sheet, place it over the center drain hole then use your funnel punch a through it. This way if there is any splash out or over fill of the funnel the aluminum foil pan will catch it and still drain into the bucket. I also use a premarked oil can filler to help with refilling the X3 with oil. Not at all trying to bash, just help. I think you were a great help with your video.
Very nice hack for the draining portion, thanks alot! Doin my first oil change on my 4 seater, gotta get that break in oil out, glad i watched your video first. SxS Blog couldnt even do that for me.. hahaha.. good job Dandi!
Very helpful video. In process of my first x3 oil change. I noticed you said nothing about torquing the drain plugs to their specified numbers. Maybe you did torque without mentioning? Or did you just tighten it naturally by instinct. Would like to avoid borrowing a specific torque wrench if i can get away with it.
We didn't mention, just trying to be careful not to miss quote and be responsible for someone damaging their ride. But you can definitely find the torque specs online.
She actually did say they were Brandy tightened...lol, & then she brought the Big Boyz in to tighten again & she said to always torque it to factory specs...Good job 😎
These are the two I would use today www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/performance-tool/tools---equipment/oil---lube-tools/funnels/9227a0a2bf37/performance-tool-silver-metal-funnel/pfm0/w219?pos=16 raptoroffroad.com/products/can-am-x3-oil-drain-funnel-v2
That was painful watching her pour the oil. Always start with an empty gallon jug, fill it up easily, then pour into your motor. I am sure the husband was laughing inside watching her struggle. My wife said she liked the finger nail polish, and promptly told me not to expect her to change the oil any time soon!
HEY! Lol. It was also painful to pour it... I'm learning, I'm learning! Just wait until the next oil change video - you're going to be so impressed with me! ;)
Why rotella not can am oil? Been a mechanic for years. Its been engrained in my brain that all oils are not equal... 34k machine im not skimping in the oil, filter, crush washers, etc..
@@DandiOffroad Great Video and you did a Great job ...but Rotella is for Diesels and it's great for Diesels but i would use either Can am syn or Mobile 1 , Diesel oils have more Additives because Diesel is not as refined as Gas which can make it more expensive than the gas version.....

Thanks for the info, and thanks for commenting. We'll definitely have to try that out

What about just enlarging the hole in the factory skid plate? Had to do that on my OG.
We did actually end up doing that. Thanks for commenting.
@@DandiOffroad Great Vid. Will save us X3 folks a bunch of time and a huge mess. 10-21-2019. Subbed!
Can you post a link to the two funnels that you use on here? I cannot find them on Rocky Mountain or Amazon.

Hahahaha its a girl thing they spill everything everywhere!!!
2mchvnm HEY! Just kidding, I can't even argue. I DO spill s#@! all the time! Oh well, oil got changed so I'm counting this as a win! 😉👍
Dandi Offroad a win for suuuuurrreeeee!!!!!! Shit my wife would never!!!! She hasn’t even ridden in mine except down street and back!
Don't worry, I made my skid plate all shiny from my oil change.
How did that rotella t6 worked i use that on my vw buggy and trucks n cars but haven't tried it on the can am
Well we have 3,000 miles on the car now and so far so good.
@@DandiOffroad is it still going with rotella?
3600 miles, the last change was Can-Am oil
I am a man that learned how to change the oil on a X3 from a woman. Does that make me gay?? :-(
+Beto Beto Hahaha! I'm not your typical woman though so you're good 😉
Beto Beto yes
That’s a bizarre question.
I think all mechanical instructional videos should be done by women. They are much easier to watch.
Beto Beto not at all man.
Nice video where they working on something?
ha

I may be misinformed but I was always told that Rotella was a good quality oil. I could be mistaken I'm not a mechanic for sure.
rotella T6 is awesome for just about anything
mechanic for years??? and your dont know about the different rattings of oils. any SJ, SN, SM 5-40 synthetic oil is usable, per the owners manual
@@stang1970 Rotella is for Diesels it starts with ck cj c= compression ignition

Lucky man...
Right ?
Ive got the answer to make all your oil changes clean. If you are interested let me know.
Ummmmmm, of COURSE we're interested! Do tell...
I'll be making a video of it in action this weekend
Awesome! That looks like a great idea - we'll definitely be waiting for that video to go up! Just subscribed to ya!
