which oil should I put in

[ssmcclub]

should I put in synthetic blend or full synthetic oil for my 600 service ? or should I wait to have more the 3000 miles on it to put the full synthetic ?pps:pps:

On my 2010 RT, the owner's manual says:

Recommended Engine Oil

The same oil is used for the engine, gearbox, clutch, and the HCM in the SE5 model.
Use the XPS SYNTHETIC BLEND OIL (SUMMER GRADE) (P/N 293 600 121) or
a 5W 40 semi-synthetic (minimum) or synthetic motorcycle oil meeting the
requirements for API service SL, SJ, SH or SG classification. Always check the API
service label on the oil container.

I have used the full synthetic BRP oil since the first oil change.

I went with Amsoil from Baja Ron. I am not disappointed!

I don't have a problem with either one. Been using Amsoil in my 2012 since the 600 service. Just switched the wife's 2010 to Amsoil so I'm not buying two different products. Been running BRP summer blend in hers since new.

What ever you feel comfortable with.

I wonder why BRP offers both the blend, and the fully synthetic versions? :dontknow:

Choices choices..!!

there are many good oils out there. The one thing is stick with the recommended spec's in your manual. These engines are not the same as cars. If your doing your own the choice is yours. You can search the hundreds of oil related threads. My choice is to stick with the XPS blend it came with. If you never stray to far from the big cities you can find all the oils but I find myself in places where your choices are very limited so the blend gives me options...:dontknow:

Good question Bob. I'll ask my dealer tech next week. I do suspect it has more to do with product application. ie; roadster, quad, PWC.

Full synthetic all the way! Use a quality "motorcycle" oil, BRP, Amsoil, Motul etc.. :thumbup: Tom :trike:
