Average Miles Before Having to Add Oil? My machine is sucking it down ...

[clueless]

I use full synth 5W40 Motul ... great stuff made for motorcycles.

and sticking with the recommended weight. the BRP stuff is I think 5W40 semi synth for their summer kit and their winter kit has I thnk 5W40 full syth oil.

the bolts are not HEX but are TORX bolts.... either way better to switch the drain plugs to HEX head bolts. easier to get off and easier to torque to 20 nm when you put back.

John say you are correct - he removed TORX bolts from my machine and replaced them with HEX Head Bolts.

Does anyone know what the actual length of the bolts are for each filter on a 2010 RTS SE5?? I have a slight leak and it could be I've mixed up the bolts.

On my 2013 RS-S SE-5, the trans filter cover uses M6x35 socket head screws (short filter) and the engine filter cover uses M6x30 screws (long filter).
