JAH Dealers

Probably a multi line dealer and getting a better deal on Yamalube or similar from a different manufacturer. Definitely guessing on my part though.

Which is a huge f*** you if they ever found out.

My old dealerships service rep threatened to pull our warranty authorization if we used bell-ray oil in new under warranty units.

Haven't been on hear for a long while. Just need to blow off some steam.
On a hunting trip recently. Had just done full service before leaving home.
Oil was a low. Nearest dealer in Steamboat Springs, CO does not carry Honda oil.
Told me that Honda made the buy a huge quantity at a time and it wasn't worth it.
Let that sink in. They sell Honda products but don't carry Honda oil.
Next nearest dealer was over 200 miles in any direction.
Wrote Honda. They told me that dealers are independently owned and they could do what they want.
Pretty easy to decide what my next SXS will be.

So...

You buy a machine that you believe needs a "special" oil and you do not have the forethought to have some on hand. You find out you need some in a remote location, can't get it, and its Hondas fault?

Does your truck have a spare tire? Why?

Same goes for needed fluids.

When Victory motorcycles first came out, I purchased one. My first oil change I was going to use the recommended victory oil. A mechanic said it is nothing more than rotella.
