I just bought a zforce 800 trail a week ago....it has the new engine but the dealer said nothing to me about it. Learned everything about it online. I called them, told them the situation, and asked for an updated owners manual as the manual i got is for the old engine. Well, mass confusion between the service dept and parts dept so they said they would get back to me. However, i can safely say the dipstick in the rear is engine oil. Its my understanding the transmissions use 75w90 gear oil and needs to be changed also. That dipstick is the one behind the passenger seat. I,m still scratchin my head tryin to figure out this machine so somebody please correct me if im wrong. thanks...

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / New and Confused

Hello folks... I bought a new 2022 cfmoto zforce800 trail last saturday (sept. 17th) Absolutely love it so far. Since i'm going to attempt most of the maintenance myself, i decided to see if i could find some youtube videos of the procedure. I found a very interesting post. Seems the new 2022 zforce 800,s came out with a new engine and cfmoto failed to let anybody know? In the manual i got with mine, it shows to remove the passenger seat, remove the cover and locate the engine oil dipstick. Well, there's a dipstick there, but evidently its for the transmission. The engine oil dipstick is on the passenger side back by the rear tire. 2 dipsticks. So does the transmission oil stand alone and need changed too? The manual i have says nothing about 2 dipsticks or transmission oil change. Also, evidently if your clutch cover is plastic....you got the newer engine. Now, i'm brand new to the side by side thing so i can only tell you all what i heard. At this point, i just need to know if i need to change the transmission oil. I called the dealer and wanted an updated owners manual, and now THEY are confused as me and said they would get back with me. Anyone know anything about this? thanks...
