We have recently purchased a 2020 Defender HD 8 XT and I was wondering if it came with break in oil? Or is it just the regular oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the oil? I'm not sure they use an actual break in oil... but your dash will let you know when BRP feels it needs it.... I usually beat the warnings and deal with deleting the code after it appears.... Hope this helps... and HAVE FUN!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that it needs to be changed every 2000 miles or 200 hrs whichever comes 1st. I just wasn't sure if it needed to be changed sooner out of the gate or not.

One of the other threads is under the Engine heading, first oil change. Since you purchased a new machine you may want to do it sooner than later.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it so far. We mostly use it to tool around back roads. But I'm sure it will get plenty of use this coming deer season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had some discoloration and the magnetic plug was covered with iron particles so I think it was a good time to drain them out. 1.5 litres of 75w-140 and the center hole just ahead of the back axles.🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if that works it works... It's just if I'm adding a possible 400- 600 lbs with a back seat...not counting the rig itself... I'd want the extra hp... That's just me... Some have called me EXTRA though.... So I guess I'm a bad judge.... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
