Well I would like to avoid running a different oil in all my sleds...

I run Polaris Gold in my 05 edge

And regular Ski Doo oil in my 80' JD Liquifire.

SO with those two choices what should I run in my 99 Sx?

I prefer the Polaris Oil smell....but since the Yammi doesn't have power valves...do I need to run Synthetic??
 
you may have opened yourself up to some serious debate.

i offer this: in all my 2 strokes, i have never ran anything but the yamalube 2s and some occasional ring free.

i may be lucky or my preventative maintenance pays off, but i have never had any issues running the stuff. hopefully i havent jinxed myself.

compare your 2 oils on hand with the properties of the 2s, of the 2, the poo gold would be my choice. never liked the way the doo oil smelled. always gave me a headache when momentarily stuck behind one.

since your starting nearly fresh anyway, save some money over the poo gold label and try the yamalube.
 
Definately an invitation for a debate here... But anyways... I've got several Polaris buddies that all run Yamalube. Even a Cat friend that uses it. Not saying it's the best thing out there, but those guys all ride alot and swear by it. I run Amsoil, only because I'm uptight that way...

I have now switched over to Shell Advance Ultra.Has all the qualities that is required,and way cheaper then the Amsoil I used to run.

Really? Any place I found it here it cost just as much as any full synthetic oil. Would you mind telling me where you get it from and for how much?
 
you guys ARE RIGHT ON THE DEBATE thing
HERE, WHY GET INTO THE BIG AMSOIL THING. JUST RUN YAMALUBE2 S , YOU WILL BE FINE. 3:16 (yammie tony)

from Canadian Tire.Can't remember the cost of hand,but can check their site.They now offer a 5 liter jug the same price they charged for a 4 liter jug..
 
only found the 4 liter jug at $47.99.Oil probably jumped up in price also.Don't see the 5 liter jugs there,but that is what I bought last winter and price remained same...
 
here is what I bought last season.I think their web site doesn't show the updated jugs...

the Amsoil at Canadian Tire is only sold in 1 liter jugs at $14.99 each.Times that by 4 gives you about $60.00 for a 4 liter jug comparison...way more money..
 
Didnt mean to start a debate. Just wondering what would be better between the two oils I have. Sounds like Ill just run Polaris Gold in the Yammi.

I didnt want be stuck running three different oils. Ill probably quite using the Ski Doo oil once I run out. But I have a gallon to burn through and I dont put many miles on the ol John Deere!!

Thanks for the info!
