Took my 06 rage in for oil change. Had 549 miles. Took sled 1805 miles by trailer. rode 3 .5 miles had to get towed back. The oil filter didn't seat. They siad i lost 2 quarts of oil. The sled never quit running. Nor did any of the warning lights come. I couldn't move the sled cause of all the oil on the clutches & belt. I turned of the sled & got towed back by buddies on skidoos. They couldn't wait to pull me. Took it to the dealer. the tookk of both clutches & belt and cleaned them. When the took off the oil filter they noticed the seal on the oil filter. Put new filter on cleaned up the sled & said good to go. went about 10 miles tonight. started making clicking noise. Just when under power. you let off of the throttle it stopped Thought it was clutch noise that i have heard other members talking about. Then the noise was getting louder & more often. Noe it makes a noise when just idleing. LOaded back to the trailer. Going back to the dealer on monday. What do you think is the noise. Is it the clutch or is the motor rapping.
 
Well it back in the trailer. Took it for a little ride Leaking oil from bottom of sled. Had a bad vibration before it qiut running
 
Does not sound good. I do not know if it is possible on that motor, but if the old oil filter gasket stuck to the motor and the new filter was put on, it may have caused what happened. The old gasket not being "captured" will blow out. The dealer may not tell you just what happened.
It seems strange that the oil light did not come on with the oil level being that low - low enough to cause damage.
 
oil lights are often not overly sensative, or necisarily pop on imediatly. my little brother had a totaled beeter to drive in highschool. he said he put oil in it when the engine starts making noise, and the noise goes away. all without an oil light comming on.
