Bought a used VMax 600 from a guy. It's full of oil now, but what's in there is purple. I want to use the same oil that the sled is used to.

Can anyone take some guesses as to what I'm burning here?

Thanks! :2strokes:
 
using what oil WAS in the sled has NO RELEVANCE (basically) to WHAT OIL you SHOULD BE USING.... Unless it is a castor "bean" oil, 99% of todays oils are MIXABLE!!! Which means, you could use ALMOST ANY oil on the market PROVIDING it MEETS OR EXCEEDS the MANUFACTURERS recommended specifications!!! If a MANUFACTURER tells you that you HAVE to run HIS OIL, HE MUST PROVIDE it to you FREE OF CHARGE!!!! (I think it was the magnusson/ferguson act??????) Its a LAW about 40 years old!!!! OIL COMPANIES DYE their oil to tell it apart and also to TRICK people into thinking that it is some special stuff.. There are only a HANDFUL of companies that MANUFACTURE and another handful of companies that REFINE and produce 2 stroke oils.... USING A SYNTHETIC oil will produce BETTER RESULTS ACROSS THE BOARD than ANY conventional oil... I spoke with a guy who puts 5000 miles a year on a snowmobile,,, every 2 years he sells it with 10,000 miles and buys another.... IT IS NOT feasible for him to buy so much SYNTHETIC oil, because he sells the sleds every TWO YEARS!!!!! IF YOU INTEND to put 5000 miles a year and sell it in TWO YEARS,,, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SYNTHETIC OILS!!!!! BUT,,,, If you want to keep you sled running LONGER and having FEWER oil related problems,,, LOOK INTO SYNTHETICS!!!!! SUCK OUT as much of that purple stuff as possible and fill it with synthetic oil!!!!! WHATEVER BRAND you feel comfortable with!!!! Gary Oles nosboy
 
Personally, I use VALVOLINE 5w30 in my DAILY DRIVER (87000 in 2 years) and KLOTZ SYNTHETIC in my sleds and LUCAS SYNTHETIC in my RACECAR!!!!! I change my oil in the DRIVER every 2500-3000 miles BUT I pull a 8000lb trailer when its 100 outside!!!! (with a HEMI DURANGO)... A $35,000.00 durango, after 4 years and 175,000 miles is worth around $5000.00.. So you see,,, WHO CARES who gets it!!!!!! They BARELY make 2 stroke sleds, so the sleds have to stay around for a while,, and the racecar is 34 years old!!!!!!
 
You could buy FARM AND FLEET oil for $10.00 a gallon, WALMART oil for $8.00 a gallon, TEXACO HAVOLINE for 16.00 a gallon and citgo oil for 15.00 a gallon. YOU COULD also buy YAMALUBE for 20.00 a gallon... ITS ALL EXACTLY the SAME OIL FROM THE SAME BIG TANK!!!!! DIFFERENT plastic bottles, different DYES,,,but,,, SAME OIL!!!! I've wrote a BUNCH of posts about this and I don't want to get on my ORANGECRATE and start "SHOULDDING" on people again!!!! TRY SYNTHETICS!!!! WHICHEVER BRAND YOU LIKE!!!!! You will be amazed!!!!

You pay Tom some CASH , and the MORE you send him,,,the MORE TY stuff he sends you.. he has EASY PAYMENT PLANS,,, for $150.00 you can have a LIFETIME membership and he sends you a free hat, free longsleeve tee shirt and an AWSOME sweatshirt... If you buy the lifetime (like me) you only have to pay ONCE!!!! I like that a lot better than having a BILL once a year!!!!
 
Theres OTHER PERKS that I MUST NOT MENTION,,,but,,,,nevertheless,,,,its STILL AN AWSOME WEBSITE!!!! THANKS TOM!!!!
 
Tom's about the same size as I am and a WHOLE LOT YOUNGER!!!!! I DARE not mess with "the MAN"!!!! I've learned my lesson and I WILL OBEY!!!!
