I don't think it's that big a deal what oil you use, as long as you are changing it regularly.

Tell that to Can am when you blow the motor up under warranty and they do an oil analysis.

Delo 400 15/40(summer) 5/30 (winter) multi-grade they are both "C" rated oil which exceeds the SL requirements listed in the both the owners and service manuals.. The "Warm-N-Fuzzy Warranty" is another expensive piece of paper that is no better than the dealer who likes or dislikes you :icon_ nono2:

8trout: that seems a little thick for our climate, it will be like liver in there at -40c Maybe go to a 0-40 Syn. and you can run the same year around, Amsoil is a good product and of course the BRP stuff.

Amsoil all the way. I use it in everything I own from lawnmowers and chainsaws to trucks and sleds. The Commander hasn't reached it's first service yet but when it does everything in it will be switched to Amsoil.
