Hi everyone,
Just curious, what oil you guys and gals run in your spyders and why?

Thank you and have a great day.

Amsoil 10W40, I have used it in all my Spyders (4) and no problems and the transmissions all seamed to shift much smoother.

Thanks for the option, XPS kits are pricey.

Indeed OP is going to get a LOT of answers to this and I hope it does not result in another locked thread. No clue why some folks are so passionate/stubborn about their oil choice being the only one that's valid.

My main comment to the OP is to ensure that a synthetic is used per the BRP recommendations in the owner's guide. Now, me, I use Amsoil in everything except my Z06. Chevrolet put Mobil 1 in it from the factory and I continue to use it for that car. I have read several independent (NOT paid for by lubrication interests) testing reports and have talked with two engine builders who tear down and build high compression engines for a living. As a result, Amsoil is the choice I made, but I really don't think you can go wrong with any synthetic oil made today. They are extremely good.

Also, I do NOT sell Amsoil, nor do I know anyone who does. I have always ordered directly off of their website......

Use whatever you want as long as it meets the API service specifications specified in your operators guide. Also do not add any oil additives or use oil meeting API service specification SM as warned on pg 95 of your operator's guide because it can cause clutch problems. Remember too that the only way you can tell how your oil is performing is to have it analyzed.

Valvoline 10w40 Synthetic Motorcycle oil from Walmart at $6.75 a quart. Most important is Using a JASO M2 Rating and Not just Jaso . Unless you use BRP oil.
