Where is everyone getting SE5 Oil Filter and Oil these days?
Hey y'all. The price of the SE5 Oil change kit on Amazon (and from BRP directly) has increased so much in the last two years! It looks like I can get a filter for about $25 and oil for less if I purchase everything separately.
Where is everyone getting the oil change supplies these days?
Also, it is ok to use any 5W-40 oil or do I need to use the XPS 4T 5W-40?
Thank you.
Best,

Buy all from Bajaron, or, from Lamonster. And Rotella also comes in a 5-40 JASO II weight. Tom

Oil Filter/crush washers/o-rings from Bajaron or Lamonster - and Rotella T6 5w40 - less than half the cost of the BRP kit.

If you decide to get anything from BajaRon Motorcycle Gear, it is best to call the shop. We sell on eBay and Facebook. But those are more expensive venues. Same stuff, less money if you call the shop @ 423-609-7588.
A 10/40 weight oil is a better fit for the Spyder. Particularly in warmer climates. This is the weight BRP recommended before they consolidated down to just 2 lubricants to take care of everything from snowmobiles to jet skis. A full synthetic oil is also, in my opinion, well worth the money. A blended oil (as the XPS recommended by BRP) is probably 10% synthetic and 90% mineral oil. 100% synthetic is worth the extra money. Especially if you intend to go the full 9,300 miles between service.
A good full synthetic oil does not need to be changed every year. It will do just fine. That alone can make a full synthetic oil less expensive for some. You should change the blended oil every year even if you don't go the full service interval.

I just used my first BajaRon filter & O-ring kit yesterday. I also called the shop and spoke with Paige (think that was her name, sorry) she was super pleasant, knowledgeable and informative. I’ll be buying more products thru Ron based on my first experience

I always get my filter and ring kits from Baja Ron … placed my 4th order just this week. Shell Rotella T6 wherever it is cheapest when I need it.
Love my Spyders

I got my kit from BajaRon as well. I did not use the crush washers, as I bought Gold Plugs after fighting the OEM ones out. Gold Plugs come with a good supply of washers. As for oil, I’m partial to Mobil 1 Racing 4T 10W-40. It is JASO-MA2 Certified for wet clutches. Especially important in the SE models! I just can’t bring myself to using Rotella that says “For Diesel Engines” for my Spydey, although plenty of guys throughout many motorcycle forums do. Not me.

Not wanting to make this an oil thread, 'cause the pop corn muncher's will come out....I use the 5/40 Rotella T6, I'm tempted to use the 15/40 next change since I live in Florida and should not be a problem. Any thoughtful comments on the viscosity?
