ENGINE OIL Recommended Engine Oil for Rotax 4TEC 150 and Rotax 4-TEC 150 ECT Engines:
NOTICE These engines have been developed and validated using the BRP XPS Synthetic blend oil. BRP recommends the use of its XPS Synthetic blend oil at all times. If the recommended XPS engine oil is not available, use a 10W40 mineral engine oil compatible with wet clutches. Damages caused by oil which is not suitable for the engine may not be covered by the BRP limited warranty.
NOTICE NEVER use fully synthetic oil. This would impair the proper operation of the supercharger clutch. Do not add any additives to the recommended oil. Mineral oils for API service classification SM contain additives (friction modifiers) that may cause inappropriate slippage of the supercharger and eventually lead to premature wear.
Use XPS™ 4- STROKE SYNTH. BLEND OIL (SUMMER) (P/N 460787) If the recommended XPSTM engine oil is not available, use a 5W40 or 10W40 engine oil meeting the requirements for API service classification SM, SL or SJ. Always check the API service label certification on the oil container, it must contain at least one of the above standards.
Rotax 4-TEC 200 ECT and Rotax 4TEC 250 ECT Engines: Use XPS™ 4- STROKE SYNTH. BLEND OIL (SUMMER) (P/N 460787)
