• 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.

What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

If you do your own first 3,000 mile Oil Change.... then at 9,300 and so on... not bringing to a dealer. Is the warranty coverage effected in some way? Like in HVAC companies signing up folks for a monthly wallet money pull so they have "maintenance" income???

No, but if you have a warranty issue later, BRP will ask you to prove the service was done with receipts.
 
As promised, I followed up with two repair facilities concerning the 9,300 mile checkup. Pricing WITHOUT examining the spark plugs $300.00 and $312.00. (Plus the cost of oil, filters. etc). The CanAm manual lists replacing the spark plugs at 28,000 miles. (This was mentioned in a previous post)

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback. Much appreciated.

Cool... I googled this but will still ask the dealer. Careful record keeping and proof is needed.

answer:
Yes, Can-Am will honor your warranty if you do your own oil changes, provided you follow the manufacturer's specified procedures, use approved parts and fluids, and maintain detailed documentation. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, manufacturers cannot void a warranty for self-maintenance, but they can deny claims if improper service causes damage.

Key Requirements for DIY Maintenance:
Keep Meticulous Records: Save all receipts for parts (oil, filters) and log the date and mileage of each service.
Use Correct Fluids/Filters: Always use the manufacturer-recommended oil type and filter specified in your owner’s manual.
Follow Procedures: Ensure the maintenance is done correctly and according to the schedule.

If a failure occurs, you may be required to prove the maintenance was performed, making your documentation crucial.
