There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'd sure like to see it in writing. Dealers will say anything to sell what they have on the shelves.

I aslo use the Spectro Gold. It's like $13 something at CycleGear about 5 miles from my house. It's 100% synthetic.

I can read it from here.
it sells for 9.49/ quart less 10% for being a good buyer
Also comes in a gallon 38.99 (which is more)

Smokster sent me a blown up picture so I could read the label through these bifocals. It does say it is recommended for the Roadster. Now if they will just issue a service bulletin with the revised recommendations, so that the owners and dealers actually are all on the same page. Not sure of the advantage, except maybe cheaper than BRP's full synthetic. A blend meeting that spec in another brand could be even more scarce than the full synthetic 5W-40s without friction modifiers are.It says can Am Roadster on the label.

I was at my dealer yesterday to pick up oil and parts for my 9K change. The parts manager said that BRP was changing the Spyder oil and that when they ran out of the full synthetic in stock that BRP was coming out with a semi synthetic for the Spyder. It was nice to see a picture of it as my dealer had none in stock. Castrol and Havoline both make a 5w40 full synthetic that does not have an SM rating. Ryde Safe and Enjoy :thumbup:

Sounds like BRP will try to make up lost income from selling cheaper blended oil by trying to get us to make oil changes seasonally in addition to mileage.

Same story here. A summer and a winter blend. One is all synthetic and the other is a blend of synthetic and dino. They even recommended the blend for new spyders until they were broken-in. :dontknow:

All vehicles, that I know of, are suppose to use "regular" oil until broken in. Seems the synthetics are too slippery.....
If we can make oil why in the hell are we in Iraq!!!

Not the Spyder, they say they use the same oil as specified during break-in, despite the fact that they specify changing it at 600 miles. They do things differently in Quebec.
