Don't want to start trouble, but...

[MarkLawson]

Well, I really didn't want to start trouble but all of this is good info! I think I will definitely change my oil more often than 9300 miles. That being said, I saw a video that someone posted on an oil change for their 1330 RT. I'm sure it's basically the same but it would be nice if someone could post a detailed video on how to do it on the F3.

Has anyone bought a lift for their F3 yet? Which ones do you have? Where is it safe to place the lift?

Thanks everyone. Ryde safe.

I don't have an F3, but on my '08 GS & '10 RT, the Owners Manuals state where to place jacks for lifting. You might find that a pair of car ramps can be useful. I use them and then raise the rear with a floor jack, on the rearward most point of the frame - as my manuals state, to get a level Spyder to drain the oil.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK OIL

I have used the BRP blended synthetic through 3 9300 mile oil changes with no problem.. no oil used and the oil barely looks dirty. some folks are being conservative and changing more often but remember BRP always puts in a conservative factor of their own (remember how ridiculous the first 3000 mile changes were) My guess is if BRP says 9300 miles they really believe it would last 12000

I guess you missed the POST where someone here actually had the BRP blended oil TESTED after only 4500 miles ...............and it had reduced to below a 30 W ................I would not expect a motor to seize at 28,000 on marginal OIL , but will it last 75,000 miles ........or do you plan to sell it and then it's just not Your Problem ???????..................JMHO....Mike
