Iv been mixing oil for many years. Polaris, brp royal purple yamalube etc.. As long as it is Synthetic. It's never hurt anything from what I have seen 6000k miles and still have great compression, clean valves etc..Sometimes on the trail you can't get what you primarily use.
Previous owner ran Shell Advance Mineral Oil... When we took apart the top end for a rebuild, we also took apart the Power Valves and they where swimming in goo... Then I read the back of the jug of the Shell Advance Mineral oil, and it said to use their synthetic oil for RAVE Valves... I will be running Synthetic Sinto Performa with 130 Octane which smells like Grapes. That will be as soon as the mineral oil get's really low in the oil reservoir. Sinto Performa is the oil I already use in my RM 250 and it has balls !
Read your MSDS sheets for each oil. If the poor point, flash point, and Sp. Gravity is close between oils, they will all work interchangably well for bikes or sleds. I use Mystic JT4 snowmonile oil and Klotz TC-W3 motorcycle in both bikes and sleds. Burns clean, powervalves are clean, etc.
Amsoil in my doo 800R Etec. I guess when I've been doing some research, I found that Amsoil is as good if not better than XPS. The other things was the availability on the trails in remote areas. However, this isn't an issue since my engine just sips oil anyhow.
I've been running older sleds my whole life. 97 and 98 artic cats. And a few skiddos. I have always used whatever 2 cycle oil I could find and never had a problem. My 94 skiddoo has been running on marine plus. It says snowmobiles on the back and meets tcw4 requirements. I just got a newer 2003 polaris and I am pretty sure the previous owner put red yamaha oil in it. I bought a few quarts of the polaris VES oil and couldn't believe the price. Do I wanna buy gallons for 20 bucks or gallons for over 60...
Been a amsoil dealer at one time always loved it and its a great oil. But that being said have u seen the price of it now. Its out of control when i can go to O'Reilly Auto parts store buy Mystik full synthetic for $35 a gallon. Or they have lucas for $40 a gallon full synthetic. Both great oils my father runs in his Etechs i run it in my Ctechs with no issues.
Does it matter whether or not its fuel injected or carb for any of these oils I have a 1997 Yamaha venture 600 with Carburetors I'm redoing and I bought a gallon of the yamalube s2 is this going to work I have heard from alot of people saying this is just for fuel injected only
Are we talking about carbed motors or direct injection oil motor? two different appetites for oil. Carbed motors not a big deal but for direct injection motors might not be a good idea for running anything other than what manufacturers recommend. Huge differance from 80hp carbed motors with 32/1 mixed gas and 160hp motors going 1000 miles on 1 quart of oil.
I watched this video for a reason. And, not that it's your fault, it didn't really answer the question I was looking to get answered. My question to you guys is, My 2004 Legend recommends basically the BRP oil that translates to the modern day shit they run in eco tech sleds. That shits $89 dollars a gallon. Obviously that gets expensive real quick. I mean nothing about this sport is cheap but jesus my pocket book. Isn't there something in the say $50 range that would work as good? I mean the answer here is "do your research". And in part, that's what I'm doing here. Or it's at least one of the ways i'm going about it. Asking people that have been doing this for a while. At one tank of oil per one tank of gas for two sleds, it's working out to almost a gallon per 100 miles. Between the gas for two sleds and the oil, that's WAY more money per mile than my truck costs to pull my 27' RV. I don't want to "Cheap Out" on something critical. But are there any reasonable alternatives?
i have a 97 500cc fan cooled snowmobile casual riding should i stay away from full synthetic or even synthetic blends cause they gum up valves if you don't push the sled hard all the time i heard it doesn't burn properly at lower idles
I have a stock 2011 Polaris IQ600 Shift . It's a 2 stroke oil injected, right now I am running the polaris ves gold, I am thinking of switching over to the Klotz because of the price and the smell of it. Do I have to adjust the oil pump on my sled or do anything to switch it over or should I just stick with the polaris oil.
XPS is just re branded Castrol syn & brutally overpriced. It stinks like crap in my E-tec & I will be switching to something that is warranty approved & smells better......what do you E-tec guys run?
Ski doo oil was made and Research in a lab for the 850 etec Polaris extreme oil was specifically designed and tested on the motor for hours on the 850 Patriot I use what is recommended I use XPS full synthetic in my 850E tec I use extreme oil in my Polaris 850s
Have to say this is the most unscientific review of oil ever. Lol. Like “Letter Kenny” high talking about oil.
Yuuup 😂 literally based on nothing

Synthetic is junk for 2 strokes.

Klotz is the way to go for me
Put a drop of any of that oil on the chair, please 😁

I have run dirt bike oil in sleds and snowmobile oil in dirt bikes for 50 years.... No issues ever encountered.
Amsoil is manufactured in my hometown and I’ve never blew up a two-stroke machine that I run it in…
What about maxima ?
Any oil is better than no oil! Lol
I run Stihl, Quicksilver, and Amsoil. Hoping to try Klotz and Reverend Motors soon too.
Anyone use super tech outboard 2 stroke tc-w3 oil in their sled? It says for sleds, bikes, ect.
Klotz says it’s the same oil
Redline here!
When ever I switched oils I pounded the oil to the gas tank
As long as it’s an API TC oil it should be fine
After researching online for 3 days straight... I went with klotz.
You never hear a bad thing about Klotz.....except that one joker that bitches about everything.
@@2012lucasb 🤣🤣 so true. I like the sled btw

Blue Marble, why because it keeps power valves clean, I have not cleaned a power valve since I switched to BM 10 years ago.
Hi I have a Polaris touring 600 and I'm using Polaris blue is there something else I can use

rawdawg whats your point so if i have a injection engine a old 500cc polaris should i stick to non synthetic or synthetic?
There is no reason not to run full synthetic. It’s better in every way except price

There isnt anything special about that motor other than it has powervalves. I would suggest something like amsoil interceptor or klotz.
@@Bigkidpowersports thanks!

True. I use ams oil.
I don't trust factory
Oil. It ain't wroth my money

Keep using polaris VES gold or go to the new polaris ves extreme 2 stroke oil
Klotz works good. No issues, and it smells great!
Stick with Polaris VES oil. If it ain't broke dont fix it.
team yamaha all day. arctic cat is a close second.
no answer they all agreee oil is oil i guess on to another video
Whenever someone is wearing there hat backwards like a gangbanger move onto the next video.
XPS is just re branded Castrol syn & brutally overpriced. It stinks like crap in my E-tec & I will be switching to something that is warranty approved & smells better......what do you E-tec guys run?
I stick with Royal Purple. They make the best oils in the world.
