In days past if you purchased a new ski, the dealership would have you bring your ski in for its first oil change at the 10 hour mark. Now, that service is no longer provided. I suspect the risk for BRP is low since they only offer a 12 month warranty, and any engine oil wear related problem will take a few years to manifest itself.
So if you are a new owner, should I change my engine oil at the 10 hour mark?

After watching this video, I decided to perform my own test on my brother's new GTR 230, and the oil geek guy is 100% right. Check out the aluminum levels in our engine oil at the 12 hour mark. If you intent to keep you ski for the long term, I highly recommend performing an initial oil change at the 10 hour mark to get that break-in oil out of the engine.
