Oil analysis @ 3 years & 9500 miles.

[2dogs]

I ran my oil for 10,000 miles and just sent a sample in for analysis. I use Amsoil 10W40 and I have 60,000 miles on the spyder. Why did BRP pick 9,300? Previous analysis at 9,300 returned still usable. What would another 700 miles hurt? We'll see how it comes out.

I suspect BRP chose 9300 miles because that is almost exactly 15,000 kilometers in Canadian money.

I suspect BRP chose 9300 miles because that is almost exactly 15,000 kilometers in the Rest of the World.

Fixed that bit for you mecsw.

It will be a LOT easier when you lot do eventually catch up!! Not only for you (cos most of you do have only a total of ten digits on your hands, don't you? ) but also for the rest of the World too!

You've no idea how much of a pain it is having to convert back to the archaic system we left behind decades ago just so you all can understand!!

Here's the results of my oil analysis of Amsoil at 10K miles.

Flagged data does not indicate an immediate need for maintenance action. Continue to observe the trend and monitor equipment and
fluid conditions. FUEL DILUTION is at a MODERATE LEVEL; Nickel is at a MINOR LEVEL; Possible valve train (valves, stems, guides etc.)
metal; LEAD is at a MINOR LEVEL and may be OVERLAY METAL from MAIN/ROD BEARINGS; Boron is slightly low for this lubricant. Boron
levels may naturally decline with use so this is not a cause for concern. Please provide COMPONENT MODEL number to compare data to
the correct standards for this component. Oil is suitable for continued use. Re-sample in 3,500 miles or 65 hours.
