like keith said, there will always be small shavings on the magnet from wear and tear. shouldn't be much more than what you saw but chunks are when it's time to take a real close look. that silver looking oil in the diff is from the aluminum housing and prob had some sort of break in additive in it.
@@minirail I love you. Your brain is sexy... lol. No really though, I appreciate your point of view! Makes me feel a little less worried about my ride lol
Running e85 having a little oil mixed is going to happen and it’s fine and normal. One of if not the top tuner here in Utah says is common when running e85
Great video.. funny and yet helpful. I am new owner of the X3 turbo looking to educate myself as much as possible. I am near Detroit and my X3 is a covid gift to myself. Hope to meet you at silverlake. Bob
Thank you for your support! And yea man, it was trippy. The recovered video was all glitchy and ghostly cutting in and out from random videos like a poltergeist
Nice. Mine XRC is in the workshop now, its only 113 hours, but after I watched the vid I decided to change oil on gearbox too. Also I did all settings as Fox Racing recommend and I am happy, I could not recognize my machine. Thank you again.
First off your drinking level per job is coming along nicely! Second I would not be too worried about gear oil looking silver. You guys run them hard seems normal to me. For whatever that’s worth. Nice video. Sorry you lost your ending.
Great video guys. If that is your first time changing the diff oil i would expect that much color in there. You are supposed to change it much more often than that LOL but whatever. keep up the good work.
I'm reporting back. We have 3 X-3's in our family, Wife has one, I have one and my kids has one. (we don't like passengers) Wifes was clean. Mine was... filthy like yours! My Kid's was the same, filthy and metallic. My wife doesn't drive as hard and doesn't use 4x4 as much. So I guess there is nothing wrong with yours or ours. I am going to change the front diff more often though. And thanks for your videos. Before I do any maintenence, I watch as see how you do it! I appreciate it! Yes, I'm subscribed.
so.....at 22 or 23 psi boost you will have higher cyl pressures. you will force a small amount of fuel past the rings and your oil will have a hint of e85 if you are indeed running 85% ethy. one thing i would look at is your crank case vent system. at those cyl pressures especially on a 900 cc 3 cyl, you really need to vent that crank case into a catch can than back to the intake before the turbo or put a filter on the catch can and port it back in pre turbo. just be sure than the catch can is lower than the port on the block so none of that can run back into the engine. that oily goo left behind will smell like pure e85 btw! i run 30 psi but on a 2300 cc engine. i run e81 to e86 pretty consistantly and my breather box ( catch can) has a pod filter and is ported back pre turbo right behind the air cleaner so there is no haze of smoke out of that box. i have a drain valve on mine to drain it and what comes out sometimes looks like clear water ( it will light on fire with a match btw) and some time it's got a whiteish color but always smell like e85.
Dang! Thank you for this post! It helps us understand what's happening! We are working on catch cans because we did identify that as one of the issues... We run Ignite E85 so our fuel is very much E85. We'll be going up to 28lbs of boost this year!
When I raced here in New Mexico 28 to 32 mph was averaged on a quad, Any where from 50 to 100 miles in length...But like I've Always said (You Must be Fast.....Cuz I Was Hauling Ass When I Passed You......)😎
greets from good old Germany ... cool maintenance tips and will repeat on my X3 .... I think we need a leaderboard for the average speed... averaging 19,4 :). Germany doesn't believe in speed limits...
You Guys need a lift like Michigan Mud Masters!!! We just did the same maintenance and you should watch to compare the fluids that came out. We had some light metallics but No chunks.....Id be worried
Physical chunks of metal in fluids= worry. It should only be tiny metal flakes but not enough for you to pick out like that. If it is just that one it shouldn't hurt but is a sign to check it again later and if you got more chunks crack it open
You're fine on the gear oil buds. Mine looked exactly the same on my first change. Pretty typical I think. That has all the break in miles and meshing that went on early in the engine life. Suspect the next time you change it there will be much fewer shavings.
Brother we hope you're right lol. Cuz we're adding more boost! We'll either rip it or grenade it! Either way it'll be fun to watch! Thanks for the comment!
Yeah I still have a compressor and full set of air tools. Almost never use them. Batteries are so convenient. Buy everything same brand over time and a multi charger. You'll think you've gone to the Great Mech in the sky.
While your at it grab the m12 ratchet. It will forever change your life when it comes to belt changes. With the stubby and the ratchet you can damn near tear the car apart and put it back together. I keep them under my rear seat just in case.
How do you guys keep your full windsheild from getting super dusty at glamis and on sand trails. Mine get so bad i can barely see through them sometimes
Haha, so much innuendo in this one. I’ve had to resist saying that’s what she said about 6 times! Metal in your motor oil isn’t great, a little metal shavings in things with gears like the tranny are a-ok. I’ve never changed a diff that had Visco-lok fluid in it, maybe it’s weird looking? Or maybe that crappy viscous coupler in there is suffering from stage 5 abuse!
Hah!! I'm happy you enjoy our sense of humor lol... Yea, this was our first time changing the gearbox and differential oil. I'm sure we're abusing them, but I'm also hearing the oil looks normal for a first time change. Which makes me feel better
Anyone know how to get fix a light that says STOP engine on a can am 2020 rock climber edition husband Changed the oil and the rear end oil also and the light comes on at the bottom of the screen stating stop engine
Just changed ours for the first time. Rear was very clean looking and gold. Front was also clean and green. There was little to no metal shavings, this is with about 1500 miles. Your front does NOT look good.
@@ftorvideo Good to hear. Maybe the reason ours was so clean, it's my wife's! Haven't changed mine yet. I guess we'll find out tomorrow when I do mine! I'll report back...
To be fair I have a lot of miles in the sand dunes outside of Yuma,Az and trail riding in Utah has slowed the average mile per hour down but the scenery in Utah was well worth it if you ever get a chance it's worth the trip.
This comment gets NO HEARTS! Lol... on the real tho... I spent like $100 on forensics software and like 20 hours trying to repair the recovered files. But it's just been overwritten too many times. I might need a new SD card
Why didn’t you run your machine around for a little bit? You need to warm them dogs up and that engine oil up. If you guys come out to Glamis next year, bring regular tire too. I’m from the area and would love to show you a little more of our local desert. Don’t be a sand sissy. Hope those huge chunks of metal didn’t tear anything up.
Metal shavings in your oil? Upgrade the turbo... clearly the answer
That's funny right there!
💯 correct my friend 😊👍👍

Don’t forget about time hanging out idling and warming up. Haha, don’t feel bad, even mostly throttle Offroad is still fun to watch.
This post comforts me 😚🍻
I was thinking same thing. Because I know mine idles a lot

Hell yea my man! Thank you for posting!
Our front was the same as yours... very metallic due to the clutch plates
That's a little reassuring lol

Haha! Appreciate the comment my friend! I guess I just wasn't sure what to expect. 🍻
Nice oil change piece good maintenance what about grease for wheel bearing that’ll be one to do all four keep them coming Aaren
Thanks for the comment bud! We greased those guys when we did the toe link support kit from Shock Therapy
Great video guys. If that is your first time changing the diff oil i would expect that much color in there. You are supposed to change it much more often than that LOL but whatever. keep up the good work.
Yup, first change lol... Thank you for the support brotherman!
Whaaaat?? Change diff oil??

Wifes was clean. Mine was... filthy like yours! My Kid's was the same, filthy and metallic. My wife doesn't drive as hard and doesn't use 4x4 as much.

Lifetime speed avg veru dependant on where you ride of course. I'm out in Socal deserts and my avg is 24.6. (4924 miles at 200hrs)
9k subs man congrats you will hit 10k in no time.. really like the maintenance videos as well as the ride videos keep up the good work guys
Thank you my friend!! Your support means a lot! #grateful
Throw it into neutral and power off so you keep the average mph up
Sneaky.. I like it
😎👍 best video by far !! Love the beer meter
Thank you sir!
Instead of using loktite use silicone and it works the same but will allow you to take the bolts out and still not vibrate out.
Awesome video!!!! Metal shavings is normal it’s just wear large pieces is not good maybe change more often!!!! Maintenance is key
Praying 🙏 You're right! lol Thanks for the comment brotherman
No problem ,Putting that much power down you really need to change more often ,awesome channel !!!!!!
Thanks for the support! We might go ahead and make the full fluid change a yearly thing
The oil on my gear box came out silvery kind, very few shavings thought normal,
keep those videos going, funny!!

I dont usually agree with advice from a death lord... but this seems like good advice
One thing to not is BRP gear oil from the factory is an odd aqua marine blue.
2 points for the 80’s movie reference! WTF ever happened to Steve Guttenberg anyway?
Dude I loved that move when I was a kid! JOHNNY 5 IS ALIVE!
Good job Cowboys :) Always enjoy UR videos!
Thank you big chieftain!
What is the difference between the XPS 0W-40, 5W-40 and 10W-50? How do you determine which weight to use?
If you’re in colder areas 0-40. Slightly Warmer 5w-40 if you ride hard. And in heat 10w50

Bought 2018 x3 Rs. Where do you buy all your oils and maintenance stuff and parts if needed from? Online stores would be great.
Another great video 🤘🏻
Thanks my man!
Don't need a compressor get yourself the milwaukee m12 stubby impact,it's a lil beast
I think I like this idea....
@@ftorvideo you won't regret it,I've used mine to remove and install,wheels, radius rods,shocks sway bar links folios damn near anywhere
Yeah I still have a compressor and full set of air tools. Almost never use them. Batteries are so convenient. Buy everything same brand over time and a multi charger. You'll think you've gone to the Great Mech in the sky.
I wanna go there! Sounds convenient

Some real mathematicians... “18xx divided by 101?” “Uh 20 something...”. Lol
That trophy hanging on the wall confirms the low average speed. 🤣
The man is observant
Very entertaining vid haha, love the personalities
Thanks my dude!
How do you guys keep your full windsheild from getting super dusty at glamis and on sand trails. Mine get so bad i can barely see through them sometimes
Do you have to use the XPS oil? It’s all I see people using. I just wonder if another oil will work just as good and half the price.

When are you guys gonna head to WV to ride the Hatfield McCoy trails?
High on our list! We've heard a lot of good things about those trails!
Go in October to trailfest it’s awesome
Oh yes? This is at Hatfield McCoy?
Man yeah ,we were there last year it’s awesome tons of machines and a lot of trails 400 miles in 3 days you guys need to check it out seriously!!
Better do a 3k wear and tear on keith's machine
We did Keith's unit after mine... His fluids weren't nearly as silver lol. Dang
@@ftorvideo I mean like checking all the wear points on the machine after 3000 miles.
how many hours should I keep the factory "break in" fluids in ive heard change out first oil after 50 hrs
I would consult the manual for the maintenance schedule my good friend
What about the LAST thing to do??
.....Turning Off "Maintenance Required"
Just changed ours for the first time. Rear was very clean looking and gold. Front was also clean and green. There was little to no metal shavings, this is with about 1500 miles.
Your front does NOT look good.
Hehe... she's still rippin!
@@ftorvideo
Good to hear.
Maybe the reason ours was so clean, it's my wife's! Haven't changed mine yet.
I guess we'll find out tomorrow when I do mine! I'll report back...
No disassemble stephanie no disassemble 👍😎👍
Yessssssssss!! 🍻☝️
I should be getting my new ride by April 1 hopefully
Nice! Not long now!!
Full Throttle Off Road Seems like forever to get here LOL
That's affected by your sitting still idle time.
Indeed... so we need to power off when not moving to pad that average
@@ftorvideo naw, just confirming your partner into leaving his on. 😎
🤣🍻
My 2018 Polaris Turbo S has 5551 miles 256 HR = 21.68 average mile an hour so does this mean Polaris lead's the way 😉
Well, means you spend more time with the skinny pedal down than we do.. Going to drive with that in mind this year! Lololol 🍻
To be fair I have a lot of miles in the sand dunes outside of Yuma,Az and trail riding in Utah has slowed the average mile per hour down but the scenery in Utah was well worth it if you ever get a chance it's worth the trip.
I hear that a lot! We need to get that way
I'd like to see the original ending, maybe you could contact a IT Tech to retrieve it (LOL)

Greatly appreciate your support brother!! #grateful
What happened to u guys. Do see you anymore
Do a flush wash off plug mine was clear with 2000 miles
Sooooo we might get a video this year of my machine exploding!
BIG TURBOOOOOOOOOOO💯👍😂😂😂 be smarter than the pan💯🤣
That pan is really smart though....
@@ftorvideo I know but try really hard to be smarter than the pan 💯🤣 😎 😎
I tried :( But I spilled the oil
@@ftorvideo I understand but remember if you first don't succeed try and try again 💯👍
If it’s the first time u changed it it’s normal
You guys need a beer sponsor 👍🍺😁
I think that's an absolutely brilliant idea
I will let you know my average when I get home
Yes! Im curious!
What kind of beer?
Looked at this again and it definitely looks like a needle bearing....
So I need more boost?
@@ftorvideo Someone has to see just how far we can push these things. When she blows it will make for some great footage!
