Hi all. Looking to summarize my 2015 skandic 600 etec for the first time. What do I need to do and what do I need to be able to do it? Im thinking I want to change the chaincase oil, and grease the suspension. what’s the process for changing the chaincase oil? And how do I go about greasing...

i put the xps synthetic chaincase oil in today and i was wondering if the xps synthetic oil is good enough or should i have used the synchromesh transmission oil instead? my skandic has the 2,1,N, R shifter

I just bought a used 2020 summit 850 with 800 miles on it. When I got it home and let it run for a few min in my garage then had to move it across my lawn to a different building I noticed oil was blowing out my exhaust when I would really get on the throttle. Wondering if this is something bad...

Hi! I recently bought a 2021 Lynx Xterrain with the 600 EFI engine (the same that's in the Ski-Doo sleds as well). Without thinking much, I asked the dealer to also sell me some engine oil with it and I picked up a gallon of "XPS Premium Mineral Oil". After using the sled a bit I read in the...

Hi everyone, I made a large mistake today. I picked up my first snowmobile (2003 MXZ 600 HO) early in the year and this weekend was my first time taking it out. Me being very excited and eager to finally run the machine, never checked the oil level. Sled ran great all day until it didn't...

I bought a 2017 Blizzard 800 etec this fall and have been out on it 3 times so far. Last ride I went on, I checked the coolant level before the ride and noted that it was low. I forgot and never filled it and went for a ~2 hour ride. It did not overheat, though it got a bit hot while road...

I posted this in the Summit side too... So, I have a 2019 Summit 850 X. Rode it about 950 miles last season without issue one until it started smoking like we were fogging for mosquitos. It was strange though, start up in the mornings letting it warm up it looked normal with no extra...

I have a 2006 skidoo skandic 550F and I have been using Castrol 2T snowmobile oil in it. I wanted to get everyone's opinion on if I should stick with it or switch to another injection oil, I operate generally in colder weather. The person I purchased it from ran mineral oil in it. It seemed to...

(UPDATE: IT seemed like the oil was darker than normal for only getting about 1400 easy trail miles on this past winter. Thermostat was stuck open which may contribute to oil getting darker quicker. See my thermostat post for more info.) What's your engine oil looking like at the end of the...

so i was humming along pretty good and i hit something that threw me off the sled. before this happened i thought i smelled burning oil. but figured my belt was getting hot. i was on the ice calling ass. well the sled didn't tip over and when i got back on my sled i could really smell oil...

The oil light went on last week on my Expedition 600 ACE 2015. I changed the oil and found the old one to be very milky and liquid. Didin't think much of it at the time but a week later the same thing happened. I saw a couple of old posts here suggesting water or coolant could leak into the...

Hey guys, I have a 2013 Summit Sport 600 with just over 10,000kms, I looked through my operator's manual and noticed I'm due for a injection oil filter & coolant replacement. I never done any of those on a snowmobile before and unsure where to look for the oil filter, I do have an idea on how to...

Last weekend I cleaned the rave valves on my etec for the first time in three years, they were surprisingly dirty and actually had the code come up for not fully opening. All went well with that operation with the exception that the oil injection line popped off the pto side as I was putting...

Hey guys - just looking for any good ideas you all have on carrying extra oil for longer trips or in case of "emergency." On my 800's I always kept a quart in the oil caddy on the belt cover. Didnt use it very often but sure came in handy about once per season. Several times where we would get...

Hello, In need of some assistance, with my 2003 800 BM. Issue #1; I believe the sled is running lean on oil. I have gone through nearly a tank of fuel and only a 1/4 tank of oil. What should the sled be going through. I'm not sure of the proper mixture. Issue #2; The sled maxes out at 7500...

Dripping oily greasey black substance onto my skidplate and then dripping on the floor leaving a small pudddle?? What is this from? Just picked two 18 Freerides up and both are doing it. Both have skid plates installed.

Just thought I would share some photos and information on my 1st & 2nd oil changes. I saved my oil filter and sample of oil from my first oil change. Also cut apart oil filters to show media, color and particles trapped in oil filter media. As the photos show, the difference in oil color and...

What is everyone using to replace their old hard rubber and clear lines with? Where to buy?
