How to Change Oil on a 2015 Spyder RT-S 1330! (Pt.1/2) | ShopTalk 

Just changed the oil on my wife's 2016 Spyder first one , i wouldn't have been able to do it without this video , it took me three hours watching, pausing ,rewinding , LOL.Thanks Shawn great video.

Love this , great detail from a professional thanks Shawn .

Wow, quite an oil change. It is beyond me why the just didn’t design a trap or swing door a 3-4 inches inches in size and just swing or swivel it open to do the oil drain. I think ill be buying a 2018 RT semi auto 6 speed. If it has this problem it may be worth the hassle to make my own doors. Then all future oil changes would be sooooo much easier. Thanks for the very informative video and sharing your little but important tricks and tips!

Good video - A little long, but a lot of detailed information. Thanks for your tips - Working on the Spyder is a little intimidating for me and looks like I will be taking it to a dealer or reputable shop that won't charge an arm and leg! Thanks.

Hahaha😭 abby is making this video alot more fun, atleast from this side of the camera 👌 Love her heart...dogs love to be helpers ❤

I hope to go get a 2015 RTS this weekend . I hope ,I hope.

watching you take the Spyder apart makes me wonder just how many owners break things not knowing all your little tricks of the trade. I could just see myself breaking something trying to do all that lol listening to you talk about oil reminds me. I've got a brother in law works at a local refinery. They do gas , oil & other products for lots of different companies. They do different blends for each one using formulas in a folder. Every so often someone screws up the blend. If the supervisor doesn't catch it they'll send out the tanker loaded because no one wants to admit they screwed up and get fired. So i guess you never know what you're getting especially on the graveyard shift

Fantastic video. There is no substitute for experience! Thank-you

I have a three cornered 3/8ths drive palm wrench from Snap on I got back in the 70s when I was wrenching for a living. It sure came in handy for bolts I couldn't turn by hand. When you figure out what the soap is we would all love to know. We used ZAP industrial soap at my old work. Thanks for sharing this.

I stuff a couple shop towels in front of my skid plates on my Chevy Z71 for the same reason. It acts as a filter to keep the oil from running up the back of the skid plate and dripping oil for a few days. Got so many tools overflowing out of my 1 tool chest one of these days I'll stop being so cheap and buy another chest or two and get a little organized.

Looking at your toolbox always makes me feel my box is so dang disorganized .. lol ..

oh lord I thought it said little over 10 minutes not over 40 minutes.LOL Guess I should always wear my glasses lol May be a long one but so darn interesting. I'm sure If you weren't vlogging it,you could have done it a lot quicker.takes time to explain good work like that. and I'm sure a lot of people learned a lot about not taking short cuts when servicing there's but will still be stubborn and say oh oils oil and orings will last 2 or three services.lol My F3 goes back to the dealer for the install of all the exccessories i bought and also for the 1000 mile service the 19th and said I won't get it back until maybe friday. wow the money I could save if I could do it all my self. the things you mentioned about what costumers do that messes things up.well that's why I will always take it back to the pros.LOL AWESOME VLOG SHAWN !!!

Could you put a wax coated paper dixie cup(bottom cut out) in the drain area to keep the oil from running onto the undercarriage pan ? We use this on a much larger machine at work.

Don't worry Mr. Smoak I saw where all the drain plugs were!.

How about a headlight(low bulb) change video on the 2016 RTS? Tried to do it according to op manual but the manual is lacking. Paid $200 to get it changed at dealership. What a rip! Never had a problem doing it on my previous rides(2 wheelers)

You know, you could always take a piece of Ducting tape (the aluminized tape) and tape off that pan so it can't run back up it.

Hey Shawn...ever figure out what the kids used to clean the bike? Thanks for all your insight and tricks of the trade!

Can you drill some small weep holes in the cover so any spilled oil can just drain out?

The two different drain plugs is a new thing to me. The use of a canister type oil filter makes the Spyder similar to some of the newer cars that use them as opposed to screw on filters. 5 quarts is a lot of oil. There are many cars that do not use that much oil lol.

I wondered about making three ramps to drive the bike on so the it’s easier to get to rather drain plugs, or buy some? It sure would make it a lot easier!,

Wise words Mr Smoak about the oil I always use Suzuki recommend products , I hope you can find the name of that soap the stuff I use is pant's and that little dawg of yours loves you for sure nearly your shadow , I know what you mean about filming too much I've already got loads on my Italy trip and still 5 days to go Lord knows what I will do with it all ? best wishes from Moderno Italy 👍.

Am I to understand that there are two different drain plugs for the oil? I noticed on the video you loosened one drain plug, and then went to the other side and loosened another. I'm going to be doing my first oil change on my Spyder, so I am interested in learning this. I've never had a bike where I had two drain plugs.

Nice, when I buy my Spyder I’ll let the dealer do the oil change! LOL! Don’t look hard just time consuming. Would be much better to have a lift!!!

Is there more than one drain plug on that drivers left side that takes a T 45? I started to pull what I thought was the oil drain plug on but the fluid coming out looks a little bit red?!! Is that what spent BRP oil looks like? Might I have pulled the plug for some other type of fluid? I only drained a few tablespoons before tightening it back up. Hoping you can coach me on this before I go back at it. Thanks!

Shawn do you have the spyders up on your lift at work to change oil and filter? can ya not use a regular car jack and pump it up on the frame so easier to get to? so interesting to watch you service them. not sure I would ever try it anyways. Is it the same way with the F3? thanks for letting us watch that's cool. thanks man

Did you ever find out what kind of soap he used to wash your bike cause it sure is shiney

Thanks. very informative

Great video, fixing to do the first oil change on my 2019 RT Limited.Should it have the acoustic cover under the top side panel, mine does not.

Shawn after watching your vid I now know I will take my spyder in to have the oil changed. Question for you on the oil changes the manual says 9500 miles if I remember I will check that out again, how long do you go between oil changes and what do you recommend being the best. thanks for the help

I have had My Bike serviced by my BRP dealer for the last 2 Years under warranty now I am going to do My own ... I asked them what oil to use and the said any 10/40 oil My BRP dealer does not even use the BRP oil :-(

What's the difference between the green and black O-rings other then size? Was it more or less for making sure they get placed in the proper location?

Is that pan that covers the oil drain and trans drain any type of frame support or some other kind of supporting member or is it just a cover

DID I miss how to fill part?

Is changing the oil on a 2015 Can Am Spyder RT 1330 Triple any different than changing it on a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5?

can the 2015 Spyder RTS SE6 service be reset without the scan tool? is the scan tool available after market for the do it yourselfer?

how much oil do you use and where do you put the transmission oil in at and how much

36 mm socket btw.

how to reset service monitor without buds?

If a formula of more synthetic is better oil why not 100 percent synthetic?

How hard is it to change the trans filter??

Why not just use full synthetic oil in it?

The longer the beter

So if it took less than an hour to do an oil change why does My dealer charge me $500.00 to do this ???

what a pain in the butt. to drain the oil

This guy is not prepared to do a video.
