+Generally, an improperly spec'd oil will quickly show itself through clutch slippage.
If you've installed BRP's oil and it's resulted in slippage, I'd address it through the dealer with a "my bike's clutch is slipping under warranty following installing the oil you sold me" claim.
If out of warranty, I'd drain the new oil (with a filter change), and put a trusted basic oil in for a brief period, before returning to a better quality oil if it cleared up. If it didn't clear up, you may not have caught it in time, or your clutch took an early trip south. (Perhaps to beat the weather?)
Sounds like you might've gotten a mislabeled batch of oil...
Ride on.
