Maintenance Schedule

[JayBros]

At the end of the season before you put the machine away is going to be best.
Used oil can become acidic as it sits over the winter. Better to have fresh in there for storage.

, Strongly! And if you drain it hot, as the manual says, refill and just run it long enough to verify oil pressure is up and circulating all will be well. Shut it off and connect the battery tender for the winter.

Me I always like to change it at the end of the season for the same reason as you listed, but I will confess that if the current oil has less then 1000 miles on it I run it the next year.

My Spyder RTL2014 just celebrated it's 1st year last August 8 with 799 miles. Do I follow the BRP scheduled maintenance of (3000m) or have the first oil change, because it's a year old? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

One year regardless of the mileage.

Normally I'd say 1000 miles and your still fine and leave it be.
However, since it has never been done I'd go ahead and change it if it were mine. There is more assembly debris and junk in a new motor/trans than you ever want to believe.

Good point also. I figured I would give it a try since I have a full warranty, and also believe BRP would not suggest intervals that are detrimental to the . I was/am also a pioneer on the no valve check until 50K on 998 with my 2011-- I was a good spyderman though in previous models and had em checked at 14K and 28K on two others.

I have gone through 3 9300 miles oil changes so far after the 3000 mile break in (approaching 4th one) without any problems whatsoever. I am very comfortable with the interval.

I most likely will not put the 9000 miles on for the second oil change within the year. So my question is would I be better off changing the oil prior to the start of the season or at the end? I'm leaning towards the end of season before I put machine into storage so that it isn't sitting with dirty oil all winter, but thought I'd get some opinions from the group.

Am guessing that most will suggest change out at season end. That way she sits with new oil and you are ready to hit the pavement when the new season begins.

Mine needs a change in 800 miles (were I to run out the 9300). Its going in this week or the next. That will be my final oil change this season and I should be good to go when next season starts up.

Those are usually labeled Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law. Now that the _ _ _ knows about me, I have to be very careful.

What is the maintenance schedule for the 2015 RT? I can't find it online anywhere. My dealer mentioned something about a 600 mile checkup.

Thanks!

3000 miles (or one year, whichever comes first... not in owners manual). I had only 1300 miles on my 2014 RTL at one year, so I called BRP for clarification. I was told that I had to do the 9000 mile/one year service to maintain my warranty. Checked two nearby dealers for price quotes and had it done for $274. When I hit 3000 miles, most likely before warranty expires, I'll do the 3000 mile service.

Bought mine in Feb....sitting at 9600 miles right now.....have a 3500 mile trip planned to the north east at the end of the month. Dealer said I could let it go past the 9300 miles no problem, all would still be right n the world.....

I decided to take it in early instead, next Friday, and get the 9300 mile service, oil is dark. Now and 10,000+ miles just seems too far for an engine running around 4000 rpm on the highway.....I think opting on the side of caution is always best anyway....

Next year I have a 12,000 mile month+ long trip planned, gonna have to plan a stop for maintainence somewhere, that should be Interesting.... :-)

The advantage of the 9,300 mile interval, is that it gives 1330 owners the luxury of some latitude in choosing when to get the servicing done.
In my case; it's now an annual event.

You paid alot for the RT. Some day you will want your value back. Having verified records of having of all required maint. items will help you get back the maximum amount back when you go to sell!

Get the book and read it!

Thank you. A lot of great info! I'm at 1,134 miles now. Will get my first oil change at 3K

I found this...not sure if it is the same but this was for the F3:

Here are the intervals for the 1330 ACE:

- Replace Oil & Oil Filter: 1st Change at 3100 miles, 2nd Change at 9,300 miles, 3rd Change at 19,000 miles, 4th Change at 28,000 miles. If you don't put that many miles on your Spyder you should change it annually.

- Spark Plugs should be changed at 28,000 miles

- Fuel Filter changed at 19,000 miles

- Air Filter changed at 19,000 miles (replace & clean housing more frequently in duty and wet areas)

- Engine Coolant change at 28,000 miles

- Drive Belt check and adjust as needed at every oil & filter change



Here are the intervals for the 991 engine:

- Replace Oil & Oil Filter: 1st Change at 600 miles, 2nd Change at 4,600 miles, 3rd Change at 9,300 miles, 4th Change at 14,000 miles. If you don't put that many miles on your Spyder you should change the oil and filter once a year.

- Spark Plugs should be changed at 14,000 miles

- Fuel Filter changed at every 19,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first

- Air Filter changed at 4,600, 9,300 & 14,000 miles

- Drive Belt check and adjust as needed at every oil & filter change
