Why wouldn't you just look at the temperature reading on the gauge?On my machine the engine oil has to be normal temp ( Ski Doo recomends to run engine untill rear radiator gets warm and that tells you that the thermostat has opened , then let idle for additional 30 seconds ) also make sure when checking oil that you screw the dipstick all the way in and then remove it to check . When I use to fill with oil , I would let run a couple minutes and i thought it was warm and would show low so I would fill it up . low and behold I would use a lot of oil and go below the add mark , started doing exactly as the operators manual stated saying that oil had to be warm ( operating temp) and after doing that way I do not use oil .
You can do that but even ski doo says feeling the rear heat exchanger tells you positively the thermostat has opened . RTFBWhy wouldn't you just look at the temperature reading on the gauge?
mine isn t eating oil but at 2000km my oil is black and in need of change… Waiting until 5k to change oil is ridiculousMy 2023 is eating oil as well.
Something is up with this?
Did two big rides both around 2000km
And both times down almost a litre
My two buddies not down at all. I don’t smell oil at all. Taking mine in and see what the dealership says.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but is the oil leaking past the turbo getting burned in the engine, or is the oil leaking out somewhere into the bottom of your snowmobile?Have your turbo checked!
My 2023 turbo has been going through oil since new. I have had 4 stroke Yamaha's for years and know this is not normal. I took it to the dealer after my last trip. I am at 1,300 miles. Dealer found the turbo is leaking oil past it and needs to be replaced. No replacement parts available till August!
That sounds like what I could have going on. I’m expecting an interesting conversation with my dealer.I did not see any oil until after I dropped it off at the dealer. Then I saw a spot on the bed of my trailer.
The dealer said there was a bunch of oil in the air lines.
Thanks for the follow up.Got the sled back from the dealer. Turns out the turbo was leaking. BRP standards for what is acceptable for leakage rate is quite high, but dealer was able to change the turbo on warranty. Highly suggest others get their turbo checked if they have similar issues.
My oil blew out the from the muffler unburned. It was really bad when cold, got better as it warmed up.Sorry if this is a silly question, but is the oil leaking past the turbo getting burned in the engine, or is the oil leaking out somewhere into the bottom of your snowmobile?
On my 23 900 Turbo R the air intake hose connecting the turbo to a vent on the hood was disconnected from the fitting on the hood just to the left of the windshield. The large hose clamp holding it on was loose where the hose had come off the fitting. Simple fix, but there was a little oil splashed inside the engine compartment and inside the intake hose. Recently, I've had a few drops of oil on the floor beneath my sled after a ride, where I'm left wondering if I have another leak, or the drips are due to any residual oil left in the bottom of the sled from the loose intake hose.
Are any of these symptoms familiar to you?
I plan on bringing my sled in for service and will be mentioning the oil issue. I got 1,000 miles on mine..
Yeah no rush to get rid of my 22 and i still feel my tuned 2020 is better.These 900's are suppose to be solid however we are starting to see a clear indicator of quality dropping off on components.
