Understand, BRP does not make the oil. They hire an outside firm to make oil to their specs, to sell it under their logo. ALL mfgr's do this. None of them make oil, or own their own oil company. Ski

A nice 200km today.  Launched out of Fergus, headed through Arthur, Palmerston, Harriston, and back.  Conditions were great, trails were fantastic, nice and cold, blue bird, lite traffic, and great company made for a great ride.  

Is brp oil better? It's all made to a similar spec. 2 stroke oil pretty much two stroke oil. That shell oil was very good back in day too. My dealer out of Polaris oil now. I just switch over to shell for rest of season. 

To sum things up, we pay a crap-load for a new sled, with warranty, and the manufacture wants us to use a quality oil so they don't have to pay for un-necessary repairs?????  Don't really see a problem.   Within a few dollars, my BRP oil is  close to Canadian Tire stuff.

Nice you know it's a good winter when you can sell a sled with high km's.
