2013 se5 transmission filter

[jlt31971]

From what I have been reading the 2013 se5 transmission oil filter is larger than the 2012 and earlier. I see the old style for sale but I don't see any for the 2013 is it a dealer only item for now.

The filters were changed last year. The earlier Spyders can be retrofit. There was a letter sent to existing owners (except California) and a new maintenance schedule was implemented if the new filters were installed. The old filter version is no longer available from dealers. If I had a 2013, I would use the BRP filters. You can't use the aftermarket trans filter anyway, unless you find one of the old style covers. I expect BRP would be reluctant to honor oil related warranty claims on a 2013 if the new filters were not used.
