what antifreeze can you buy besides Can Am? I need some and I am 35 miles 1 way to my shop? Thanks
Well, it depends on what year your Spyder is .... I believe BRP used two types ..... Green for V-twin engine Spyders .... and orange for the 1330 engine Spyders. Neither has to be BRP brand .... I use orange DEX-COOL, by Prestone .... I buy the concentrate and mix it 50/50 with distilled water .... the Pre-mix version costs more ..... PS, I added a pint to the OEM stuff already in the radiator .... 5000 mi. later it's working fine, so it is compatible .... good luck .... Mike

I use Prestone’s all makes all models 50/50 premix. It’s compatible with everything. As per BajaRon, as long as it says it’s safe for aluminum engines, you’ll be fine.

Just be aware that now-a-days color can be irrelevant. Anti-freeze comes in a whole variety of colors, red, blue, orange, green, yellow, etc. You have to know whether it's a HOAT type coolant or not. Topping off with a universal application type coolant works just fine.
