The oil they ship in the kits is now SN rated. The question came up before when the changed ratings were noticed and someone wrote to brp-cares and posted the response. If you really want an 'its ok, use it' statement from BRP suggest writing to them. FYI, the Lamonster Garage oil is also SN rated. Its getting pretty hard to find one that is not. Valvoline 4T was one of the last I knew of and its getting hard to find since Walmart quit stocking it in stores.

Nah, I'm good, am very happy with the oil currently being used in the Spyder. Thanks for the info.

The reason is that BRP recommends a wet clutch rated oil for the Ryker. But I think this is more a case of sell what you have than recommend what might be best. Just speculation. But it is a valid question. What other non-wet clutch, integrated transmission vehicle recommends a wet clutch lubricant? I do not know of any. There is no advantage to using a wet clutch oil in a non-wet clutch application. Actually, compromises are made in the lubricant properties to achieve wet clutch comparability. So why not ditch the disadvantages if you don't need the compromise?

Not correct. Doesn't apply to all dealers. Speaking in general terms like that isn't a good idea. Ask the dealer. My dealer will install whatever oil I bring to him then just charge labor cost.

Do you ever long for the days when you just grabbed a can of green or red top Quaker State and dumped it in?

In my Ohio town when I was a kinda new driver, I remember what we called bulk oil. It was by the gas pumps and in a glass quart jar with a tin spout for 17 cents a bottle. cueman

Yup, one of my very first jobs - filling those glass bottles with oil, keeping the island rack topped up & clean, and offering to check the oil & water & washing the windscreen on every customer's car! I musta done a good job at all that, cos I skipped the usual 'service station career & promotion path', jumping right over sweeping the workshop floor & going straight to helping our 'qualified mechanic' work on cars & learning all I could about spanner spinning on the job!
