You should be fine. Tuff Skin just said he has the same issue on one of his RZRs.

 

he only has 1 rzr...lol

 

Allen, Go by the dipstick. I know the oil capacity is suppose to be 2 quarts, but I've found I'm always too full after an oil change. You're not seeing things, this has been a common topic. Some folks pour in 2 quarts regardless and no one has reported any issues that I've seen. Your call, but I usually go by the dipstick....but always keep it at the top mark on the stick.

 

If your RZR motor isn't exactly level...tilted toward the rear a bit...the oil filter isn't going to fill when you add oil, and all the oil lines that may have drained back are going to be empty.

Thus either put in the two quarts...start it and I'll be the level is correct after warm up and shut down. Or put in 1.5 quarts, start it up, warm it up and then top off the oil. Bet its another .5 quarts.

Or do as I did and put in the Ultimate Rhino oil filter relocation kit. Now my filter is easy to remove with no spillage and the system now holds nearly 3 quarts of oil.

 

Do you have a part number(s) for this kit and how difficult is the installation?
Where does the filter mount, ect.? Any info would be greatly appreciated.:question:

Thanks,
Pete O.

 

the original oil fill was 1.5 or 1.8 qts but they just rounded it up to 2 qts since as seen here it was to hard for people to fill it you will never get every last drop of oil out so dont worry just drain and refill with 2 qts and ride.... dont sweat it over a couple oz not worth the time or energy its a dirt toy not a NASA rocket...

 

Look the kit up on Rhino 660 Oil Filter Relocation Kit for the Polaris RZR.

Probably a couple of hour job. Took me a little longer since I running the DFR sealed air cannister. But, it works great, the oil filter is vertical, out of the way of anything that could damage it, and it added to the oil capacity. I have sent Joe Allard of UltimateRhinos my install pics and they should be available from Joe.

 

2 qts, and you have to check it by looking on the back side of the dip stick, the new method of checking is outlined in the 2011 owners manual. just drain the oil, change filter and put in 2 qts and dont worry about it.

 

So what does the 2011 owner's manual say? Probably good to know for reference.

 

it says when you pull out the stick, to check the level on the back side rather than the side showing when you pull it out.

 

Does anyone know where to download the site for the service manual

 

Johnny, That was MEAN.. but funny

 

HOLD ON HOLD ON!!! Did you by chance drain the tranny fluid instead of the oil??

 

HAHA BTW I never did that it was just a theory!!!:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3:

 

I took it on a good ride, and checked the level after everything settled. I'm confident 1.5 qts. is good.
