• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Cross Reference Oil Filter?

Does anyone have a cross reference for the oil filter cartridge for the RT.
$18.00 (Can-AM) seems kind of steep, but if there is another source just as good and more readly available, it would be helpfull for those of us who do our own wrenching.
Thanks C-YA RL

krb1945 here on the forum sells kits which include a Euro filter which meets OEM specs.

HiFlo - HF564 From Amazon.com- ordered 4 and with shipping was less than $9 each.
 
yes the same

Does the RT and the RS use the same oil filter? I would also like to find a less expensive oil filter for my 2008 Spyder that would be comparable to the the OE.

Yes so far they are the same. The sm5 takes one oil filter, the se5 takes the same filter plus another different different one for the transmission control module. Hiflo makes both of these.

On the homepage look for sponser ads. Bajaron sells the Hiflo filters and crush washers.

I don't quite understand why after spending $20,000 + on a new spyder and $10.00+ per quart for oil why anyone would want to try and go cheap on the oil filter????:wrong:
I quess everyone needs to save a little cash for that extra chrome! I spend about $85.00 for oil, both filters new crush washes and both "O" rings.
Do the math $29000 for LTD x .3% =$87.00 not to bad. Sorry if I offended anyone just my 2 cents. As long as you do the service I guess the choice is yours to make.:dontknow:
