Thinking to October, couple of thoughts from those who "know or have done"? (Yes, I've checked owners manual and shop manual...)
XPS Lubricant PN 293 600 016 ... Is there a "equivalent" in another brand available from national jobbers?
Oil filter bolts and locktight... Is locktight really needed? how about a new O ring?
Oil filter PN (unknown at moment)... is there an equivalent filter, perhaps from WIX, NAPA, etc., available at a national Jobber?
Oil PN 293 600 112 (full synthetic)... is there an eqivalent? thinking of using a FULL synthetic oil for 2 years and wondering if there is a 4 stroke oil available that meets specs...since my unit is garaged and synthetics are wonderful at not attracting condensation...I'm not considering passenger car motor oil meeting SN spec...
Of course I'll flush, rinse bilge, fill the tank w/ new fuel and an "over the counter" stabilizer, change teh oil/filter, attach a battery tender and wash/wax a few times over the winter and fully inspect. Rotate in the trailer spare tire and fill all 3 to 60 lbs, wash down the trailer and detail too...stored in dry warmish garage...
with just 30~ hours nothing major should be needed? Most of the maintenace schedule is "inpection" only...
Guess I'll call BRP after the season and see if my unit is part of any recall(s)?..I have not received ANY correspndence from BRP stating so (though I did get my engine compartment cover replaced)..
Been a fun unit and the 60HP base has been perfect for traveling w/ my 95 lb GF aboard, the small lakes and waters of Columbia river, more power/speed hasn't been needed/wanted at all..0
Used NO oil, starts/runs perfect. Only the side fender scrapers on RR corner coming loose and need auto body tape underneath to hold and the bilge plug stripping (once, more careful now at $12
have been problematic.
Appreciate the replys...
