If your vehicle is used in the following conditions, refer to the
Severe Duty
section
of the maintenance schedule.
–
Repeated hauling of loads at more than 75% the maximum capacity.
–
The increase workload applied to the drive system accelerates the differ-
entials, gearbox/transmission, and engine oil life. This reduces internal
component longevity if not replaced more frequently.
–
Driving at excessive speeds for prolonged amount of time.
Higher than the average utility or commercial use requires more frequent fluid
and wear component replacement than trail, recreational, or occasional utility
purposes.

An engine that is frequently operated at or below an ambient temperature of -25 °
C (-13 °F) will require an increase in service and maintenance schedule.
Any combustion engine operated at these low ambient temperature will collect
an increased amount of condensation at every startup/warm-up.
Since the engine is not reaching operating temperatures for extended periods of
time, the oil is starting to be strongly diluted with water and gas residue (more
water content).
An engine needs to reach operating temperature, in order to be able to evaporate
condensate out of the oil.
If daily usage (work or leisure driving cycle) is similar to those mentioned below,
BRP strongly recommends changing the oil at least once a month.
Parameters of an increase in service and maintenance schedule:
–
Engine not reaching the proper operating temperature during normal daily
usage
–
Multiple starts and stops without reaching operating temperature
–
Short idle periods
–
Low RPM driving cycle in short distances without reaching operating
temperature.

BRP strongly recommends the installation of a block heater to help warm up the
liquids, this will also help to extend the oil lifetime.
