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 humbly refer back to this sticky post from BRP about proper oil amounts for the 1330 engine. 5.0 qts is the preferred amount for engine oil & filter change only. Additional for HCM change.

Granted this is an older topic we are now replying too.
Very odd though, that slightly overfilled, by 1/2 quart of oil fouled a spark plug. I have helped other folks resolve constant, serious oil leaks that found oil leaking from the oil dipstick cap. Those were overfilled almost 2 quarts on 1330 series engines, and no spark plugs oil fouled.
More likely, the spark plug simply failed rather than oil fouled.
Curious though, was the $700 spent on a V Twin engine and not a three cylinder 1330? If so, those V Twins are known to blow excess amounts of oil into the airbox, and in some cases the engine does inhale the expelled oil. If truly oil fouled that could be a possibility for those machines.
