Another oil post...just my observation after 3000 mile service

[Chrisluckey]

I know another oil post. I just wanted to give my observation and see if anyone agrees. I have a 2016 RT SS. I took it in this morning to my local dealer for the 3000 mile service. I have always used Royal Purple products and decided to do the same with the Spyder. I had them put in 10w-40 RP max cycle. The service manager said to me, "we don't recommend this oil, but we will put it in if you want us to". So I said, it meets the specs in the manual so go ahead and use it. I'm sure this was just a CYA so he could write in the notes that "customer used their own oil. " The thing that somewhat surprised me was that on the way home, I could feel a noticeable improvement in the smoothness of the up shifting. I don't know if it was because I may have been expecting it to, or it actually was , due to the differences in the BRP oil and the RP. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I and some other SL members have noted smoother shifting after switching to Mobil 1 4T Racing 10W-40. Don't know if it's placebo effect of shifting at a bit higher RPM also.

oil change

some time back there was a post on here about some one who had over 100k on his spyder.he said he had used brp oil since day one so i think brp oil is good enough for me.it seems like i bought a new bike every time i have my bike serviced.new oil makes it run like new.

:agree: They aren't going to market an oil that might cause them to have to replace a lot of expensive engines under warranty... nojoke
