The brand of oil doesn't matter as long as it meets Seadoo's spec and weight.
If they allow a conventional 10w-40 then any brand is fine.
Now if the manual doesn't allow that weight or service rating then the dealer has some splaining to do and could have voided your warranty.

Well, sounds like BRP customer service is worthless. So take it to the dealer that used the wrong oil and said it was fine? Pretty crappy answer.
So your owner's manual says to use...
Use XPS 4-STROKE SYNTH. BLEND
OIL (SUMMER) (P/N 293 600 121) or
XPS 4-STROKE SYNTHETIC OIL (ALL
CLIMATE) (P/N 293 600 112). (If the
recommended XPS TM engine oil is
not available, use 5W40 or 10W40 API
SERVICE SN synthetic oil).
Yamalube 10w-40 is a mineral oil (conventional) and is not a API Service SN synthetic as the manual requires for your engine.
So in short the dealer is using the wrong oil and it will void any warranty because it is the wrong oil.
I would go back and demand they remove and replace with the correct oil. If the service manager will not listen to you then go to the owner. If they will not help then contact BRP and ask to talk to a supervisor and launch a complaint against the dealer.
As a BRP dealer they are required to use the correct products as required by the manufacturer for maintenance.

Yamalube actually offers conventional (mineral), semi-synthetic, and full synthetic oil. However, 10W40 is only available in conventional form. As such, it does not meet the manual's requirements. I'd take the ski back and make them change it an oil that meets spec and ask to see them pour the new oil in (to prove they changed it). If not, I'd be very willing to be they will just say they changed it and hand it back without touching it.
