Changed my oil for the first time. Pretty easy ....

[RinconRyder]

Sure would have been nice if BRP would have installed a remote oil filter on the Spyder. There is absolutely no need to have to disassemble half the trike for a simple oil change.

More and more I am thinking the design goals were "how complex can we make simple tasks", or, being a Navy veteran "gundecking for dollars". :gaah:

Not if you keep good records to prove you did it properly with the proper parts and oil.

Local dealer lists "basic oil change" prices (Change Engine Oil & Filter Only-Uses BRP Oil Change Kit) as 153 or 163 for the 998 (SM5 vs SE5) and either 150 or 170 for the 1330 (F3 vs RT)..."full" services at 4600 or 9300 miles only seem to be about another 20-40 bucks respectively.
Seems reasonable if the kit is about $100...
