I did mine and it was $105.00 for the filter.

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 is the Maintenance Schedule for our 2015 RT?

Was that just for the filter, or including labor? About how long did it take?

Oil change interval question
I most likely will not put the 9000 miles on for the second oil change within the year. So my question is would I be better off changing the oil prior to the start of the season or at the end? I'm leaning towards the end of season before I put machine into storage so that it isn't sitting with dirty oil all winter, but thought I'd get some opinions from the group.

That is just for the filter. I did not time it, but would guess it added 20 min to my oil change as I removed the right side bottom pan and the side bracket to have free access to the filter and unobstructed drainage for the oil.
You can see this cover/filter when you remove the lower right side cover. It will be to the lower right front of the motor.
Make sure you have all the oil drained before removing that cover/filter and a pan under it for the oil that will drain out. I saved old flat baking pans (cookie sheets with sides and pie pans) that work great for this
Then all you have to do is unbolt the old cover/filter and bolt on the new - very easy . No BUDS hookup is needed, but I think the dealer does that to have it in the system that it was done.

:agree:, Strongly! And if you drain it hot, as the manual says, refill and just run it long enough to verify oil pressure is up and circulating all will be well. Shut it off and connect the battery tender for the winter.

Me I always like to change it at the end of the season for the same reason as you listed, but I will confess that if the current oil has less then 1000 miles on it I run it the next year.

One year regardless of the mileage.
Normally I'd say 1000 miles and you're still fine so leave it be.
However, since it has never been done, I'd go ahead and change it if it were mine. There is more assembly debris and junk in a new motor/trans than you ever want to believe.

I have gone through 3 x 9300 miles oil changes so far after the 3000 mile break in (approaching the 4th one now) without any problems whatsoever. I am very comfortable with the interval.

Am guessing that most will suggest change out at season end. That way she sits with new oil and you are ready to hit the pavement when the new season begins.
Mine needs a change in 800 miles (were I to run out the 9300). It's going in this week or the next. That will be my final oil change this season and I should be good to go when next season starts up.

Maintenance
3000 miles (or one year, whichever comes first... not in owners manual). I had only 1300 miles on my 2014 RTL at one year, so I called BRP for clarification. I was told that I had to do the 9000 mile/one year service to maintain my warranty. Checked two nearby dealers for price quotes and had it done for $274. When I hit 3000 miles, most likely before warranty expires, I'll do the 3000 mile service.

My dilemma will be the 9300 mile servicings...
Bought mine in Feb, it's sitting at 9600 miles right now and I have a 3500 mile trip planned to the North East at the end of the month. Dealer said I could let it go past the 9300 miles no problem, all would still be right in the world...
I decided to take it in early instead, next Friday, and get the 9300 mile service done, ss the oil is dark. Now and 10,000+ miles just seems too far for an engine running around 4000 rpm on the highway... I think opting on the side of caution is always best anyway...
Next year I have a 12,000 mile month+ long trip planned, gonna have to plan a stop for maintenance somewhere, that should be Interesting...

Read the book!
You paid a lot for that RT. Some day you will want your value back. Having verified records of having of all required maintenance items will help you get the maximum amount back when you go to sell!

Thank you. A lot of great info! I'm at 1,134 miles now. Will get my first oil change at 3K.
I found this - not sure if it is the same, but this was for the F3:
Here are the intervals for the 1330 ACE:
- Replace Oil & Oil Filter: 1st Change at 3100 miles, 2nd Change at 9,300 miles, 3rd Change at 19,000 miles, 4th Change at 28,000 miles. If you don't put that many miles on your Spyder, you should change it annually.
- Spark Plugs should be changed at 28,000 miles
- Fuel Filter changed at 19,000 miles
- Air Filter changed at 19,000 miles (replace & clean the housing more frequently in dusty and wet areas)
- Engine Coolant change at 28,000 miles
- Drive Belt: check and adjust as needed at every oil & filter change.
Here are the intervals for the 991 V-Twin engine:
- Replace Oil & Oil Filter: 1st Change at 600 miles, 2nd Change at 4,600 miles, 3rd Change at 9,300 miles, 4th Change at 14,000 miles. If you don't put that many miles on your Spyder you should change the oil and filter once a year.
- Spark Plugs should be changed at 14,000 miles
- Fuel Filter changed at every 19,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first
- Air Filter changed at 4,600; 9,300; & 14,000 miles
