so i was off a little it was 127.50 lab



12.99 oil filter



19.78 syn oil



2 champion REA 6MC (spark plug?) 8.08x2



so simple oil change i guess 176.43 it seems worse now that i LOOK at the bill....



</end quote></div>



They replaced the spark plugs? That is interesting...



How many miles and hrs on your XP? Wonder if the plugs were fouled or something. And if so...why?

actually i read the maintenance part of the manual again last eve and it says to replace the plugs with every service 50hrs normally...to me it seems a little excessive but i will do it anyways

Thanks for the reply. YES...it does seem a bit excessive, but at least they were replaced based on the maintenance schedule and not due to fouled plugs.

Appreciate it!

Whatever............... The constant whining about a machine you don't own gets very old. I like the suggestions and criticism, but putting down certain parts of the machine constantly, and having no experience with it kinda makes me upset.

No one was putting down your machine.



I'll tell you what's old... hearing you tell the guys that they are "imagining" the POS Polairis winches and Crappy Glacier II mounts, and all the other problems they are having.



You can be a "brand loyal" puppet all you want... not me. If you don't like the negative comments or suggestions... why not just move on and ignore them.</end quote></div>

I have first hand knowledge of both the winch and the Glacier II. Not just one of each either. I am not brand loyal. Before these Polaris's I had two Kawi's, before that it was a few more Polaris's, and a Suzuki.

I took your word for it on the plow. The only thing I stated is that there have been problems with nearly every plow, but I'm not going around telling everyone to avoid certain brands of anything.
