ST No Oil Loss

[WaltH]

My 2013 STL does not use any oil - none. My first three Spyders used oil in various amounts. This was to be expected. The STL appears to have a much different engine - tighter - I would guess.

Why has BRP not told us about this? Hey BRP, this is a good thing!

Factory engines aren't blueprinted so each engine will vary a little from the next.....

My 2012 RT has had no noticeable oil loss in 8000 miles. The oil has been changed at about 600 miles and 5000 miles. With 3000 miles on this change, it is still on the full mark. One thing I have not allowed is adding the entire 5 quarts of oil during a change. 4.5 quarts puts it at the full mark and it seems to stay there. My driving tends to be 95 % two lane highway at 55 to 65 MPH. I am sure that makes a difference also.

Great..!!

Nice to not use oil. Still have to check regularly, too many reasons to use oil. Mine uses very little. hyea:

I don't mind the engine using a little oil. At least, I know the internals are getting lubrication.:thumbup:

I still have not had to add any oil to my 2012 RT ltd after 30000 miles so not all the Spyders burn excess oil
