Now i have been through the manuals that i have, and all of the literature that I have says the same thing. But it also says that if the motor is cold the oil lever should be about 1/2 way up the safe zone on the dipstick. I ask my dealer about this and they told me that when the engine is cold the oil should be just barely visible on the dipstick.
Now my question is who should i believe? After the dealer charging me almost $700 to tell me that I was causeing my problem, should I go off what they dealer is saying or the literature from Can am?
I guess I'd call the Can-Am customer service number first.... to find out why a dealer would tell you to not fill per the owners manual, and second why the "repair" was not covered under warranty.
