MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL
Recommended Oil
Use
XPS SUMMER GRADE OIL (P/N 293 600 121)
.
If XPS TM engine oil is not available, use a 10W40
mineral engine oil compatible with wet clutches.
NOTE: The XPS engine oil has been thoroughly
tested to be free of any additives that could impair
the functionality of the supercharger clutch.
NOTICE
NEVER use synthetic oil. This would
impair the proper operation of the super-
charger clutch. Do not add any additives to
the recommended oil. Mineral oils not recom-
mended by BRP may also contain additives
(friction modifiers) that may cause inappropri-
ate slippage of the supercharger and eventu-
ally lead to premature wear. For this reason,
XPS Summer Grade oil or a BRP approved
equivalent are the only recommended oils.
Use of any oil not recommended by BRP may
void BRP's limited warranty.
Oil Level Verification
NOTICE
Check level frequently and refill if
necessary. Do not overfill — it would make
the engine smoke and reduce its power. Op-
erating the engine with an improper level
may severely damage engine. Wipe off any
spillage.
