I’ve read the manual and know what my machine (2017 850 XTP) calls for, I’m also aware that a lot of guys here run Amsoil, Royal Purple, Rotella, or Mobile One.
So I go to the dealer to pick up a filter as I’ve always ran OEM filters and was planning on running Mobil One but he talks me into buying their oil change kit for $60.00. I woke up this morning with huge buyers regret and plan to return this as I have not yet opened it. His claim was it was designed specifically for the machine, he then went on to say something about the engine has wet clutches that require this oil, what the hell are wet clutches in the engine?? I should have walked out right there but for some reason I bought it.
Can you guys confirm or not, is there something in the XPS oils that is a benefit or is it all 100% marketing BS. Their diff/gearbox lube is like $33.00 a quart, WTF. I assume the XPS oils are just repackaged mainline oils or is this stuff really different?
