Metal shavings in your oil? Upgrade the turbo... clearly the answer

9k subs man congrats you will hit 10k in no time.. really like the maintenance videos as well as the ride videos keep up the good work guys

this was pretty entertaining lol. i'm glad i wasn't the only one who noticed sous lol. anyways keep up the good content.. thank you!

I saw a Sous. lol Yes I stayed til the end ;)

Great video.. funny and yet helpful. I am new owner of the X3 turbo looking to educate myself as much as possible. I am near Detroit and my X3 is a covid gift to myself. Hope to meet you at silverlake. Bob

The oil on my gear box came out silvery kind, very few shavings thought normal, keep those videos going, funny!!

😎👍 best video by far !! Love the beer meter

Good job Cowboys :) Always enjoy UR videos!

Our front was the same as yours... very metallic due to the clutch plates

Lifetime speed avg veru dependant on where you ride of course. I'm out in Socal deserts and my avg is 24.6. (4924 miles at 200hrs)

Very entertaining vid haha, love the personalities

Nice oil change piece good maintenance what about grease for wheel bearing that’ll be one to do all four keep them coming Aaren

Great video guys. If that is your first time changing the diff oil i would expect that much color in there. You are supposed to change it much more often than that LOL but whatever. keep up the good work.

First off your drinking level per job is coming along nicely! Second I would not be too worried about gear oil looking silver. You guys run them hard seems normal to me. For whatever that’s worth. Nice video. Sorry you lost your ending.

Another great video 🤘🏻

I'm reporting back. We have 3 X-3's in our family, Wife has one, I have one and my kids has one. (we don't like passengers) Wifes was clean. Mine was... filthy like yours! My Kid's was the same, filthy and metallic. My wife doesn't drive as hard and doesn't use 4x4 as much. So I guess there is nothing wrong with yours or ours. I am going to change the front diff more often though. And thanks for your videos. Before I do any maintenence, I watch as see how you do it! I appreciate it! Yes, I'm subscribed.

Instead of using loktite use silicone and it works the same but will allow you to take the bolts out and still not vibrate out.

Don’t forget about time hanging out idling and warming up. Haha, don’t feel bad, even mostly throttle Offroad is still fun to watch.

How do you guys keep your full windsheild from getting super dusty at glamis and on sand trails. Mine get so bad i can barely see through them sometimes

Awesome video!!!! Metal shavings is normal it’s just wear large pieces is not good maybe change more often!!!! Maintenance is key

Subliminal Sous?

Nice. Mine XRC is in the workshop now, its only 113 hours, but after I watched the vid I decided to change oil on gearbox too. Also I did all settings as Fox Racing recommend and I am happy, I could not recognize my machine. Thank you again.

greets from good old Germany ... cool maintenance tips and will repeat on my X3 .... I think we need a leaderboard for the average speed... averaging 19,4 :). Germany doesn't believe in speed limits...

Do you have to use the XPS oil? It’s all I see people using. I just wonder if another oil will work just as good and half the price.

Anyone know how to get fix a light that says STOP engine on a can am 2020 rock climber edition husband Changed the oil and the rear end oil also and the light comes on at the bottom of the screen stating stop engine

Throw it into neutral and power off so you keep the average mph up

You Guys need a lift like Michigan Mud Masters!!! We just did the same maintenance and you should watch to compare the fluids that came out. We had some light metallics but No chunks.....Id be worried

One thing to not is BRP gear oil from the factory is an odd aqua marine blue.

When I raced here in New Mexico 28 to 32 mph was averaged on a quad, Any where from 50 to 100 miles in length...But like I've Always said (You Must be Fast.....Cuz I Was Hauling Ass When I Passed You......)😎

Some real mathematicians... “18xx divided by 101?” “Uh 20 something...”. Lol

What is the difference between the XPS 0W-40, 5W-40 and 10W-50? How do you determine which weight to use?

how many hours should I keep the factory "break in" fluids in ive heard change out first oil after 50 hrs

so.....at 22 or 23 psi boost you will have higher cyl pressures. you will force a small amount of fuel past the rings and your oil will have a hint of e85 if you are indeed running 85% ethy. one thing i would look at is your crank case vent system. at those cyl pressures especially on a 900 cc 3 cyl, you really need to vent that crank case into a catch can than back to the intake before the turbo or put a filter on the catch can and port it back in pre turbo. just be sure than the catch can is lower than the port on the block so none of that can run back into the engine. that oily goo left behind will smell like pure e85 btw! i run 30 psi but on a 2300 cc engine. i run e81 to e86 pretty consistantly and my breather box ( catch can) has a pod filter and is ported back pre turbo right behind the air cleaner so there is no haze of smoke out of that box. i have a drain valve on mine to drain it and what comes out sometimes looks like clear water ( it will light on fire with a match btw) and some time it's got a whiteish color but always smell like e85.

That trophy hanging on the wall confirms the low average speed. 🤣

2 points for the 80’s movie reference! WTF ever happened to Steve Guttenberg anyway?

You're fine on the gear oil buds. Mine looked exactly the same on my first change. Pretty typical I think. That has all the break in miles and meshing that went on early in the engine life. Suspect the next time you change it there will be much fewer shavings.

I should be getting my new ride by April 1 hopefully

Speed Demon Shea!

When are you guys gonna head to WV to ride the Hatfield McCoy trails?

You guys need a beer sponsor 👍🍺😁

Do a flush wash off plug mine was clear with 2000 miles

Don't need a compressor get yourself the milwaukee m12 stubby impact,it's a lil beast

Physical chunks of metal in fluids= worry. It should only be tiny metal flakes but not enough for you to pick out like that. If it is just that one it shouldn't hurt but is a sign to check it again later and if you got more chunks crack it open

My 2018 Polaris Turbo S has 5551 miles 256 HR = 21.68 average mile an hour so does this mean Polaris lead's the way 😉

Bought 2018 x3 Rs. Where do you buy all your oils and maintenance stuff and parts if needed from? Online stores would be great.

Haha, so much innuendo in this one. I’ve had to resist saying that’s what she said about 6 times! Metal in your motor oil isn’t great, a little metal shavings in things with gears like the tranny are a-ok. I’ve never changed a diff that had Visco-lok fluid in it, maybe it’s weird looking? Or maybe that crappy viscous coupler in there is suffering from stage 5 abuse!

What kind of beer?

No disassemble stephanie no disassemble 👍😎👍

Better do a 3k wear and tear on keith's machine

BIG TURBOOOOOOOOOOO💯👍😂😂😂 be smarter than the pan💯🤣

What happened to u guys. Do see you anymore

I will let you know my average when I get home

I'd like to see the original ending, maybe you could contact a IT Tech to retrieve it (LOL)

That's affected by your sitting still idle time.

If it’s the first time u changed it it’s normal

What about the LAST thing to do?? .....Turning Off "Maintenance Required"

u funny man

Just changed ours for the first time. Rear was very clean looking and gold. Front was also clean and green. There was little to no metal shavings, this is with about 1500 miles. Your front does NOT look good.

Looked at this again and it definitely looks like a needle bearing....

Your letting it warm up to long

Ok I am at 2028 miles and 93.6 hours 21 miles an hour

Why didn’t you run your machine around for a little bit? You need to warm them dogs up and that engine oil up. If you guys come out to Glamis next year, bring regular tire too. I’m from the area and would love to show you a little more of our local desert. Don’t be a sand sissy. Hope those huge chunks of metal didn’t tear anything up.

Slowest unit award justified...18 mph.
