Sk1970 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Are most people using can am oil for the front diff and rear gear box? Will full synthetic valvoline oil the same weight be ok? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smittydog27 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 As many different answers as their are owners....but for me, I use the OE oils and filters. Small price to pay to keep supporting local dealer. They designed it and back it for warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think about supporting them with more than my original purchase... But as it is??? I don't support my local dealer??? More of a pusher really. They all want to be your buddy, until your ADDICTED!!! Then yer just another buck.... Oil is oil/ brake fluid is brake fluid.... Not gonna spend 50% more for something I can get automotive fluids for... that do the same thing... But thats me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andystoy19 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 As you can see from the responses you will have to make your own decision. I have had a very good relationship with Skidoo and Canam since 1996 (same dealership different staff over time) and continue to support them as much as I can.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hkb82 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I like to stick to the oem oils and lubes but more So I can’t hear I wasn’t running the proper oils if I have an issue. Once your warranty is up I guess it’s your call really. If you doing proper fluid changes with proper weight oils I’m sure you’ll never see a difference in performance or wear on a side by side.
