click on the picture and the bottle says winter blend but its all season.

the full synth is better then the black semi syth. i am guessing the full synth is 5w40 as per spec and the semi maybe closer to 10w40.

the gold full synth is better then the black semi synth brp oil.

i ran the yellow full synth at the 600 mile service. before spyderfest I changed my oil to Motul 5w40 full synth after 2000 miles on the BRP full synth. no issues at all

I went to the dealer this morning to get the oil an filter for my 600 mile oil change.. They recommended for me to use the Suzuki 10w40 full synthetic.. They said that is was cheaper an a better oil.. 6.99 per qt..

A full synthetic oil will be better than a blend (which is just a fancy way of saying they put some synthetic in with standard oil).

Of course Suzuki doesn't make oil. They are just putting someones off the shelf stuff in a container with their name on it (just like BRP does). You don't know who's oil your getting but at least they are giving you more information that BRP does.

Without knowing more about it I'd say your dealer is right.

I don't know why anyone would have an issue running the yellow bottle XPS 4-Stroke Synthetic Oil. It is listed on their web site as "All climate grade". The only time to be concerned is when you use the XPS 4-Stroke Blend Oil - Summer Grade in cold weather.

I run full synthetic AMSOIL 10W40. I use a private mechanic. The AMSOIL meets BRP's specs. It's not cheap- $11-$12 a quart but it's a well respected product. I did an oil change @ 6,000 miles. Last one was @ 3,000. He suggested extending the interval. I've been thinking about bumping my interval to 5,000. FYI... my Spyder runs awesome on the AMSOIL.
