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.

Might as well just skip all the usual 'OIL' stuff and get right to the heart of the matter!
Of course BRP does not explore, drill, pump, transport or refine any petroleum products, including oil. What they do is put their label on someone else's product.
Nothing wrong with that, Honda, Harley, Yamaha, Ford and everyone else does the same thing. The only down side is that you can get the identical product (with a different label) for less money.
The only part of a can of oil that is BRP is the label (which you throw away). But it makes people feel better to pour something out of a container with the manufacture's name on it.
Honda's run better on Honda oil, Ford's run longer on Ford oil, etc.
So be it! Let the Oil Wars begin!

:yikes: the proverbial oil thread. If you don't want to shell out for the cost of the BRP oil just find something that meets BRP recommendations in the owners manual. I've used Castrol synthetic with no problems. However I went ahead and bought the service plan from my dealer that includes free oil changes, so I'll be using the BRP oil.
With that being said, welcome:congrats:

I've heard good things about Royal Purple, I believe it is pricey but for the :spyder:it's probably worth it.:congrats:

I use Royal Purple in my Can-am Outlander 800 - good stuff. I am pretty sure it has a SM rating which is a no-no for the Spyders wet clutch.

I rarely post on these types of threads (except for maybe pictures of merry-go-rounds)... but doesn't your Outlander have a wet clutch? I'll bet it does.

For a little history, read these two old posts.

I think there are another one or two major oil discussions in old threads but they didn't pop up in my search. If you are curious, I'm sure you could find them.
