When there's snow - the riding around the Lakes Region has gotten quite good over the last 10 years or so. Bridgeton, Denmark, Naples, Waterford, Fryburg, etc, all have pretty nice trails.
 
Heard that when Blue Marble is mixed with other oils like yamalube it gels up.?? Not as compatible as Amsoil..
 
i just tried it in a glass jar- yamalube and blue marble. almost the same color, but marble is darker. looked like 2 different color paints until you swirl them around enough- then they were one uniform color. didn't see any gelling-- that was at 55 deg.F. don't know what it would do at colder temps
 
I turkey bastered it got the majority of the yamalube out.didn't want to get air in the lines.I talked with a few people from blue marble they said it would be ok,just won't see the results as fast.
 
We have this discussion every year, at least once. It is fine to mix the newer oils of today. Snowtech did this a few years ago in one of their sleds, mixed 8 or 9 different kinds of oils and ran the $hit out of the sled, never had one problem, pistons all looked good, powervalves didn't even look too bad. This was on a rotax twin i believe, but they said that there are no problems with compatibility on any of the oils out there now, it was more of a thing with the mineral oils of the past, different petroleum grades not mixing uniformly.
