FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

[Lamonster]

Service 2012-11

There is a new Maintenance Schedule that was just released for all Spyders that change the valve inspection time from 10,000 miles to 14,000 miles.

There is also a new part number for both the engine oil filter and the (HCM) trans filter that will increase the recommended oil change from 3000 miles to 4600 miles. You must have the new filters in place for the increased mileage for changes.

Also the new trans filter is longer and will come with a new longer cap. The old cap is 22mm long and the new cap is 35mm long.
You CAN NOT use the old filters with the new caps.

This is not a recall, this is a service bulletin to help cut our maintenance cost in the long run.

Thanks for the update. This is going to make a lot of people happy.

Nice improvement from BRP, and me with a nice stock of the old filters.... :gaah:

 

[Rando]

and me with a nice stock of the old filters.... :gaah:

Ditto! I purchased a boat load after my original dealership went out of business!

 

[Dudley]

I have been changing the oil every 5,000 miles for a combined total of 65,000 miles on 2 different Spyders without any issues. For those that "go by the book" this will save a few cents.

 

[Sarge707]

Since I have 2 filters of each I will continue to change at 3,500 with Amsoil--
Sooo I can save up for the New HCM cover?:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Thanks for the Update.

AWESOME news... yay BRP! :thumbup:

You don't happen to have a copy of that new maintenance schedule handy, do you? 4,600 is a nice number, but a round one, it ain't. It was my understanding that there would be no math... :joke:

 

[Big Iron]

Oh great,,, Just had my oil changed 2 weeks ago!!! Well next time.

7500km (4,600 mi)

Ahhhh, it's an easy number in CANADA. Freakin' metric system...

 

[daveinva]

I changed mine last week :banghead:

I just got mine back from the dealer last night, right there with ya Lamont :banghead:

 

[redroC]

I wonder how long it will take all the dealers to get the new parts?

Seems like if they have them stocked up, they don't have a whole lot of reason to switch.

 

[spyder3]

whats the new oil capacity? :dontknow:

 

[pro10is]

The transmission filter obviously has more capacity because of its increased size but is there any word on why the new engine oil filter is better?

 

[Mspiv]

Do the dealers know about this and will they be offering it?

 

[spyder3]

Do the dealers know about this and will they be offering it?

I would bet most here will be informing the dealers for the first time :roflblack: I'm sure they will want to use all of the inventory they have, unless BRP is swapping the old for the new. Doubt it though.

 

[BajaRon]

The engine oil filter is the same size and appears to be the same filter material. What is the difference?

 

[Arr MiHardies]

I think I will just round it up myself to 5000 mi.
My next service is for 9k. Add 5k to that and I'll be right n the money for the 14k inspection. A few hundred miles shouldn't hurt anything.
