    Default Should I do the Oil Change myself?

    Debating if I should change the oil myself or dealer it.. I called the dealer and they are asking 180. I am very mechanically inclined and watched some of the vids to change the oil myself, but I can not figure out how much it will cost if I do this myself. I do plan on changing the oil plug so the magnetic one will encourage longevity. Anyone know how much an Oil Change kit cost? Thanks Phil..

    What Spyder do you have? Baja Ron sells kits here that include Amsoil and High Flow filters. I have done it a few times. its not hard and you get to know your machine intimately.

    It will cost you in the neighborhood of $85.00 (give or take depending on what products you go with). You dont' say what Spyder you have and that also makes a difference.
    Shop Ph: 423-609-7588 (M-F, 8-5, Eastern Time)

    Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

    Default Oil Change

    I know that some may think me stupid for this but I will pay my dealer because I want that dealer to sty in business. Its a tough business world right now and they need support in the form of our disposable income to stay in business I have seen one dealer fold and one lose interest in support in my area we need BRP to be successful and not go the way others who have shut down lines.
