I agree it says on the 2014 oil resvoir if you dont use the xps oil that it will denie you warranty. They have tested the oil and will perform the best over time than other oils.My personal feeling, is that the diffrerence in price for other oils is sooo slim compared to $5 a gallon gas, $12K sled, $1500 Klim outfit, etc., why not just run what the manufacturer recommends? Then if there IS ever any question as to a warranty claim being denied, that factor is not present. If a new Pro blows up, and Polaris finds it to be an oiling problem, they can always deny the claim based on using non recommended oil. Even if it had nothing to do with the type of oil, like a pump failure or something.
You would be surprised, Polaris has a claims guy that travels around inspecting large claims in person. He can tell if you have had an SLP pipe on your Dragon even if you swap the stocker in before dropping your sled, based on the re-routing of the hood wire harness. (Buddy had it happen, it was a mess and took months to get the new engine under warranty.)

Yes. Well actually the act says that they have to prove that you have to prove that that is the problem and brp did the test on four different oils then took pistons out after extensive period of time and have the picture showing that the other oil (competition) have rubbed, scraped, and wore down the pistons making it legal to say that it may void warranty on your sled.
I'm going to call complete BS on this... show a link to the test.
XPS tests as a middle of the road oil, as you'd expect castrol to test. There ARE better oils on the market, and someone telling people that they HAVE to run XPS or that it's "superior" in some way is doing the public a serious disservice imo.
Either way, there are testing agencies that certify oil... as long as the oil in question meets or exceeds the came certifications as the XPS, they can not deny warranty based on this. Spreading this propaganda helps nobody.
Is everyone using XPS synthetic in their 800 etec or is there other options?
You can only run the overpriced SkiDoo oil or your engine with blow and will not be covered by warranty
So should i clean out the XPS oil in the tank or mix that crap with amsoil?
... you are wrong! Please READ the above thread with the great info provided regarding the warranty act PASSED BY CONGRESS....

Will using another oil void the warranty?
