Engine oil

Is BRP XP-S 5w 40 the only oil I can use? It cost alot at the dealear. Does anyone else make a oil that works just as good?Same for the Grease? thanks

[Mr. Big Time]

You can use any kind of 4 stroke oil, and any kind of grease. Every brand of motorcycles say in the book to use there oil, and grease and fluids. It's just a way to make money.

I use silkolene oil in mine.

[WesDS450X]

what is the best oil to run in a 450? i was considering using yamalube

[younggun95]

there is not one best oil. Everyone has different preferences on synthetic/ semi-synthetic or not.
The Epic race team used Spectro the entire season.

[joeyds450x]

i just use wuts recomended for it.... i dnt care about the price its just that i have to drive kinda far to get it

[MYTRX400EX]

i use bel ray thumper oil, it works well i rekon, however i believe its very important to change the oil very regularly i change the oil in my bike every 2 rides or 6 hours.

[WesDS450X]

yeah iv been xps brp oil, and i just went 6 rides (8 hours each) at the dunes and the oil looked really good still but i usly change it after every ride

[ds450racer]

The silkolene oil works really well in mine. I normally change it after every race day just to be safe.

If you dont use the BRP oil and you go in for a warranty claim and they see you didnt use XPS oil or whatever its called they would void your warranty

Guess it depends on the dealer but its possible

Were you at Margate this weekend Number 53 ?

[ds450racer]

no i didnt ride at marage. I was racing at a place called horsham but it was so wet we came home after practice.:(

[mike_1985]

[ds450racer]

place called home farm

Hey all. This is Johnny from Motoworks. Whatever oil you use, make sure it is not a synthetic oil. It will burn the clutches up. Way to slippery.

For the Ds 450 use Shell Rotella T heavy duty motor oil,
SAE 15W-40. Its not expensive and works great.

[jlrenken]

isnt the oil that can am says to use sythectic so if thats that case why would they say to run it but u say nonsythetic. just wondering

im glad someone got to it.

Rotella T, $2.30 a quart, great oil, i've been using it for a season and a half with NO problems.

Shell Rotella 15w-40 as in the same oil I use in my Dodge Cummins Diesel??? I thought the Can Am needs 5w-40???
