Where exactly is this screen located in the reservoir and how do you get it out? I have not run across this screen but would definitely clean it with each oil change if it plugs. Thanks for the heads up on this.

 

Yea i believe you have to split the cases but if i dont then where is it?(screen)

That may be a problem and a reason the rods break,that screen get's too plugged up and doesent allow oil into the engine....

 

think hes talking about the one that comes out of the bottom of the oil tank if u take the bottom oil line off. It has two allen head bolts holding it in.

obviously somethings not gonna wanna work

 

HoundDog06 is on track, but not entirely correct. You are supposed to warm up then engine, shut it off, then check it in a "few minutes". Not immediately. Page 3-20 of the service manual. Also, when adding oil during an oil change, do it in 2 parts. First add 1.5-1.75 quarts. Start the engine and rev it 3-5 times. Shut it off, and add the remaining oil. Mine seems to like exactly 2 quarts with an oil and filter change.

mine goes up and down as well

just something that it does.

 

take it out and get it right. mine takes about 2.45 with oil and filter and about 2.2 without it. i sure wish i made your mistake instead of mine this weekend. i reluctantly had to buy the oil in a gallon jug instead of the quart bottles. needless to say it was 6am and i wasnt fully awake and when i put only .9 quarts in i let it run for about 8 seconds thinking i had 1.8 in there because when i do oil on my truck i use the 5 quart jug and when its down to three quarts left that would equal two quarts used and not one in my case. i shoulda realized when i pulled the stick expecting the oil in the rezzy to be high and it wasnt that something was amiss. i guess i just thought it began to run through the cycle before i started teh engine. o well, good luck.

Something tells me these engines arent as delicate we all think. i hear people overfilling their raptors by over a quart and then i hear from other people they drove theirs for ten minutes to get somewhere without any noticable oil on the dipstick. so who knows. have a good day, later/warrior86

 

WTF are you pulling the skid for? Afraid too get a little oil on the skid?

 

over filling causes the oil to lose viscosity. If overfilled the oil starts to bubble up and loses its way to lubricate and cool down internal parts.

 

Has anyone done this yet? If so, are there any gaskets or o-rings to purchase? I dont want to take this apart and find out I cant ride it cuz of a gasket that has to be ordered.

Thanks
