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...

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...

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.
