I've used it in my car with good results. I've seen it used on sled, I wasn't the one maintaining it tho, so I couldn't say what the valve deposits where like.
It smelled nice tho.

Oil
Had a riding buddy that used it. Power valves on his Viper were the same gooey nasty buggers as mine using Amsoil. No difference over two years of use in both sleds. Fact is Yamalube used in a SRX showed the same deposits on those valves. FACT : Yamaha Powervalves need to be cleaned often reguardless of the type of oil. My 2$.

Yeah..I've got BM in mine aswell...Valves are soso..I'll admit...a lil easier to clean last year than the previous Yamalube year...but still gooey...Had my oil pump cable come out of its housing last year and drained the reservoir...wow!!...that was an expensive 4 hours...yeeesh!!
I might change over to Amsoil interceptor since BM is a lil harder to come by in my area...but then again its all the same...
good luck

True...I also heard that aswell...don't get me wrong...my machine almost stock does 114mph(speedo mph)...and feels great...I bought the oil with the same impression about added HP...I guess I'll never know since I changed my oil over the summer and never got to do a comparison...I'd try it...ya gots nothin to lose right?..

i switched to ultramar synthetic and it made a world of difference on the valves. never once gunked up on me like the yamalube, this stuff is cheaper too.

I use BM in my ski doos and I could not be happier with the oil. Yes the power valves get gunked but I never had one stick on me. Milage seemed decent but it's the only oil i ever used so not able to compare to. The thing that sells me is the fact that on my MXZ 700 I had 5600 miles when I sold it and the compression was identical to when it was new. I also have a 600H.O. that I did a preventative top end on at 3400mi. and the jugs looked perfect. That sold me on Blue Marble. I will be draining out the oil in my 2000 srx 700 that I just bought and putting in BM.
