Oil filter and side panels

[bzbaeren]

I am new here but see that BRP has modified bothe the oil filter cover and the lower side panel as well as lengthened the oil change interval after the first mod. My problem is that I live in the republic of California and from what I read California dealers do not/are not allowed to provide those items:sour:. Is it possible to get them elsewhere at a reasonable price.:sour: Thanks for any help/advice.

That's the Big difference when you live in California Republic?:roflblack::roflblack::joke:

I would try ordering them from an out of state Can Am dealer. It is my understanding that only dealers have the new longer filters and caps?

When I had my 600 mile oil change done I got the new oil filter cover. I was told we in California cannot change to the extended schedule due to C.A.R.B. laws that require the oil to be changed every 3000 miles.

Did they replace with the new easy to remove side cover? I just bought mine a bout a month ago used so trying to sort out all this stuff. Thanks

I bought mine on Oct 2012, and was told I already had the new side cover. I don't know what the old cover looks like, so I can't tell the difference.

No idea where in So cal you are but my dealer has installed the new panels, filters, and caps.(Normally do my on maintenance but bit the bullet and had them do the oil change and panel installation - a one time deal). They have also adopted the new 4600 mile service schedule. Per my service writer the area BRP rep advised it was OK to do so. BIG :thumbup: on that one.
