Oil change kit for Ski Doo 900 ace

Assuming you meant ACE, I changed it for you. I believe the Kit is the same price at all dealers and on-line. What I've done in the past is buy the Filter from my dealer and then use the Mobil1 0/40 Full Syn. in the 5 gallon jug. You won't need the whole 5 gallons so there's some left over for the next time.
I usually change mine at the end of the season, last spring I dropped one of the plugs down into the bulkhead and it's lost forever. I recall that little drain plug cost around 9 dollars to replace.
There are times when I'm reminded that "snowmobiling is inexpensive", said no one ever!

Tanks for the info Gary, I think I will do that.
Thanks Snoden, You wouldn't happen to have the part number for the K&N filter would you?

I do for the Yamacats but not for a Doo, heck it might be the same which is KN 147.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
The skidoo kit also comes with a new o ring for the filter and two crush rings for the oil pan plugs as well as the filter and oil
Just putting that out there if you haven’t done it before.

Paul, I have just bought the kit. Either at Timberline up at Bergland or over at Lando.
Like Smokenjoe said it comes with new rings for the filter and plugs.

I bought my last skidoo oil change kit on Amazon last January and it was $71 plus tax, now they’re $91 plus tax, I’m not sure if you go to the Dootalk website but there’s a lot of good information in there, one thing that is always said is it’s real easy to strip out the drain bolt so be real careful that you don’t over tighten it
Yup, the two washers and O Ring will cost you another 50 dollars. Remember, there's two drain plugs. The following vid takes you through the process.

I spoke with a buddy of mine who comes up for a week every year and he had hard starting issues last year (running Mobil 1 synthetic and aftermarket filters. A trusted Ski-Doo Dealer told hime that the Ski-Doo brand oil has cold weather additives in it and make starting in -15 temps easier. I ended up buying the kit on Amazon for $89, that way I have all the O rings, gaskets, etc.
Of course the Ski-Doo dealer is going to say that, would expect nothing less. OEM dealers want a monopoly of what you buy for your machines and they will say and do anything to advance that agenda. OEM branded oils are big business and many OEM's pressure their dealers into a oil program. Buy X amount of our oil, get a discount on you parts program. So dealers have to move the oils and convincing the customers that everything is no good is what many do.
