I’ve never ever even put mine in diff lock. But in 4x4 you can go full speed! I drive in the California deserts and Glamis all the time. Had my car for going on four years and never blown a front diff let alone a belt for that matter and I drive as fast as I can go most of the time. So good choice on the can am!! As far as trail and trail active I’ve never figured it out. To me seems like there is no difference between the two in my opinion.changing the fluids and refilling them is the worst that’s where Polaris has it good. Service a Polaris is easier in my opinion.

Most people do the valve drain plug on these. Makes services much easier. And the small plug is for the dry sump side I believe.

Nick you shoukd use drown mode to cycle the engine so you can get all the old oil out of the engine and the oil filter just press the start button an thw brakes and fully press the gas pedal it won't start it will just cycle it

@jacobsmith369 11 ай бұрын

There is 2 different service schedules in the manual. Normal duty and severe duty. Normal is at 2k and severe is 1k. I personally service my x3 around 1k miles. There is also a silicone funnel that slides through a skid plate hole that makes draining oil easier. Enjoy Nick! Glad to see an x3 in the dirt dudes fleet…now have a sxs I can relate to!

@JakeAlexander 11 ай бұрын

I dremeled my skid plate out to fit a silicone filter in there a little better. Would highly recommend if you plan on servicing that thing regularly. Also after you get both drain plugs out you can push the brake and gas to the floor to try and start it and it will flush the remaining oil out, so it doesn’t make a mess when you pull the filter out. Funnel with hose on it straight down through the bed to fill. I also, run my dps on minimum. It has far more self steer for sliding corners and drifting 👍

@Pancakes-ih9im 11 ай бұрын

Its funny watching you guys trying to drain the oil. In the rocks High dps, every where else I like medium dps. I use a water bottle cut 2/3 of it off, for a funnel, When you get an exhaust and delete the stock exhaust and rear facia piece, it makes filling so much easier and its easier to do other maintenance.

Cussed many times changing oil on my '19. Raptor offroad has a specific funnel that is cheap and worked for me. Change the front diff fluid often, on my 3rd one. I use a snap on ball allen with a wrench to break it. Just snug when tightening

@miller440x 11 ай бұрын

Key is cheap enough so no worries. 4wd trail is a normal open diff 3wd. Trail active is the smart mode, locks/unlocks based on a few sensor inputs. A cut up water bottle makes a great mess free funnel for oil changes. The xrc model has a wide brake pedal so you can just replace with it.

I have a Ski doo snowmobile 900 ace turbo and it looks like the same deal with the drain plugs, i just take a allen socket on a short or long extension loosen it up with ratchet then take the ratchet off and turn the plugs out by hand with the allen socket and the extension and just get a big pan and let the oil drain, it makes a little bit of a mess, you can also get some (Pig Matting, its oil absorbing material) and what doesn't hit the pan will fall on that. that way you don't have to reach up in there to unscrew the bolts by hand, but that's just how i do it.

Curtis Valves will save you a ton of mess when changing your oil, and the second plug is for the filter oil but if you put the car into flood mode and crank the engine over for a few seconds and do that a couple times it will drain the filter and you don’t have to take the little bolt out.

@thelifeoffastony1157 11 ай бұрын

The 17mm drains the main motor oil compartment and the 10mm drains from the oil filter compartment....also you can use any basic funnel just trim it to fit accordingly... Another secret, you can router the skid plate drain hole a bit bigger... I've opened mine by half inch all the way around. Untill I reached the frame part that's it's the way.. Replace those stock lower A Arms!! They're notorious for snapping breaking and bending at the weak link...

@mikeorr8994 11 ай бұрын

Make sure you get that clutch housing guard. You break a belt and it will explode your inner clutch cover. Get the carbon fiber guard. No drilling, slides right in Around me, it's about 90-100 bucks for a new key and the programming On your rear bed platform, I believe there is hole lined up directly above your oil fill cap. But you have to have a long enough funnel to reach down there from the bed. Much easier.

I’m pretty sure the Polaris 4wd isn’t always in 4wd till the rear tires start to slip in the slightest bit. I know their new RZRs have it and the four wheelers have it. Once the 4wd in engaged it also locks too and turns off once traction is regained. I could be wrong about the SXSs having it, but they’ve advertised that their newer vehicles have it included the rangers and the new.

I have a 21 XRS and I have some of the same irritations. For the brake pedal, buy an XRC brake pedal, it’s like a 20 minute replacement and fairly cheap. For the oil, they sell a silicone funnel that will make your life SO much easier. I run CT Race Worx for all my gussets and can’t say enough good things, other than I need a bigger budget. Lol.

You need to get the special wheel bearing grease tool and grease your wheel bearings. Can Am and Polaris come from the factory with very minimal grease in the wheel bearings. The first time you do it, it's kind of difficult, but really easy after that. There's some really good videos on KZfaq on how to do it.

Nick, get the “X3 RC” stock brake pedal, don’t get an extension, the stock RC brake pedal is fantastic! And the brakes on the X3 are “soft feeling” to many, doubt you have air in the line. As long as they lock up, hate to say it, but “get used to the brake feel” would be my best advice, as not many past a complete big brake kit will change the feel. You can get pads that bite the rotor more, but the X3 is already hard on pads if you are not a lift and coast type driver.

At silver lake drag racing in 4wheel drive. I’d hit about 52 mph. With the front diff locked in I’d get 56mph. From what I’ve read and experienced is dps is only for slower speeds. When your going fast dps goes to minimum no matter what you have set. Just my 2 cents.
