    Surprised to see you need oil.. I have ridden 19500 miles without using a drop so far... If I was going to add I would simply add BRP blended that comes in it..

    Wow. I have over 10k on my engine and add about 1/2 qt every 5-700 miles. Been like that from the day I got the new engine put in. (New engine after 86 miles, a bit of a freak event.) Anyone else use that much oil?

    Used more than that on my '13 RTL. My '14 RT has used none in 3700 miles.

    I use full synthetic motorcycle oil 10W-40 with a JASO MA/MA2 rating, any full synthetic is a lot better than any blended oil and SE5 & SE6 shifters work better. I use Amsoil and I get it at dealers price. I'm have a Preferred Customer membership, it saves me money and it comes right to my door step. I use Amsoil products all my car, suv, Spyder, and all my lawn & garden equipment. That's IMHO.

    I've not heard of anybody who uses more...

    Perhaps you should have a leakdown test done...

    I personally would not mix different oils, the Spyder comes with BRP oil, so if you are adding, use BRP oil, if you are changing oils go with whatever you choose (choose wisely) and if you need to add any add the same kind.
