FYI- New filters and Maintenance Schedule for ALL Spyders

[aklim]

Is this english, So our you saying BRP can not inform thier dealers of changes because that would be to much work? What...

Each dealer should of been sent at least one to see, also I am wondering if my 2012 might already have the new filters. It is only a month old.

Sorry, hard to write sometimes after a few drinks. I'm saying BRP can inform the dealer but if the dealer files the notice away for future times, there isn't much BRP can do. BRP sends them a letter and if they don't read it, well......

No they do not. I have a 2012 and it does NOT have it since it only came out a couple weeks ago. Besides, I have the new filters and the SE5 filter housing is definitely smaller than the new one.

5 Quart Oil Change

I notice my dealer charged me for 5 quarts on both my 600 and 3000 mile services. I also see that the Can-Am oil change kit comes with 4 quarts. What gives?

It takes 4+ quarts to fill. He should have given you the balance to take with you for topping off when/if needed.:dontknow:

So if I buy the Can-Am kit I also need to buy an extra quart or does the kit contain 4.??? quarts? If the kit has everything you need to complete an oil change except the correct amount of oil why don't they tell you that? Seems odd?

Well, if you don't mind going "OH SH1T!!! I need just another C*** Hair more!!", stick with the kit. You will need at least that much and it doesn't hurt to have a little more around especially since you need more for the filter. The shop always has oil around to top off.
