Oil to use in 1330 eng.
I have used Shell Rotella 15-40 in my machines for years with very good results. It is not syn. I notice BRP wants to use semi-sun. and not full syn. any reason for that ? What is the preferred oil on this list...........

Can Am tech said blended works better in semi automatics than straight synthetic.

+1 on Mike's comment. That tech's never seen my 2014 RT-S SE6 shift with Mobil 1 10W-40 motorcycle oil -- way smoother than the BRP XPS semi-synthetic ever was in my transmission.
From my operator's guide there's enough either/or to satisfy any owner so long as one uses oil that meets the API service classification:
Use the XPS 4-STROKE SYNTH.
BLEND OIL (SUMMER) (P/N 293 600
121) or a 5W40 semi-synthetic (minimum)
or synthetic motorcycle oil
meeting the requirements for API service
SL, SJ, SH, SG or higher classification.
Always check the API service
label on the oil container.

oil question
If you buy other than the brp products what about the fittings and copper rings? My oil change is due at 9300. Do i need to buy the fittings or not worry about it?

Saw this just now...(I jumped from my F3 forum fence a moment).
Following another F3 owner (we have the 1330 ACE also), I also, last Friday, changed to the
Amsoil 10w40 and used the filter kit from BajaRon (filter, all o-rings, all proper crush washers).
This was my 1st change at 1400m.
And yes smoother shifting/running from the get-go. I think the filter kits we $12+ each, then the oil
is about $12/ea as I recall. Took a clean 6qts with a 1day full drain. (F3S-SE6 unit)

Please read your operator's guide! The CAN-AM tech gets paid to sell that oil. That's IMHO.

If you purchase a filter kit from BajaRon it will come with all the O-rings and two crush washers to completely do the job if you want to change out all the little parts. Some techs do not change all the O-rings; don't ask me how I know. I examined all my O-rings with a magnifying glass on last oil change and had to change only one, the lower, on the oil sump plug; all the rest were fine. You should ALWAYS change the crush washer on each plug every time you remove it. The crushing when torquing the plug gives the leak free seal. Once crushed the only way to guarantee a seal with a reused washer is to increase the torque and we know where that leads.

Your oil change should be coming up at about 12,300...
3,000 mile break-in service, PLUS the 9,300 interval...
