oil change?

[900cfi]

How much does it cost for the dealer to do a oil change for me while my sled is in for the 500 mile service.I was told the oil change would cost me $300cdn that seems way to high.

My dealer wanted $115.00 USD for the labor, plus parts (oil & filter).

I did it myself. It is not hard, just time consuming.

I just can't see paying someone that much to do something so easy.

I did mine myself but Yamalube 4S times 4 liters and a filter was $54 taxes in. That leaves $246 for labour. At $70 an hour, they need 3 and a half hours to do the work. I did mine in less time and it was the first time I did it.

4 liters???? Doesn't it only call for 3 liters with a filter change???

It will be three and change, so the dealer always hands you four. I know the manual says 3 L with filter but total amount is 3.8 L, but I guess they assume not all will drain unless you lift your sled up and shake it.

arggggggg my dealer just told me (and Sold me) 3 liters

I was told $150 U.S. and I thought that was high. I did mine the first time and it wasn't that bad the next time will be alot easier now that I did it once. Plus its nice to look over youir sled when its some what apart . I was told with filter 3.5

do the oil & filter change yourself, mobil1 5w-30 at walmart $20.00 and a kn204 filter less than $15.00

 

[kotapug]

Them are the same products that I bought.

I use 3.3 to 3.4 liters but I keep it right at the H line. That is the filter too.

If you are mechanically inclined and you don't have money to burn, do this yourself! You will save at least a hundred USD and you will be sure that everything is put back together correctly.

I personally do not trust dealers as I have had so many problems in the past with poor work (I could share some unbelievable stories).

The bottom line is that I just can't imagine paying somebody else to do something that I can do myself.
