If you want real clean valves run Yamalube 2. been running it in my 800 polaris since 03. Citgo sea&snow is an almost like for like substitute with similar results if you can find it.

I used to use VES, I have been running Walmart oil for the last 2 years. Trying Amsoil this year, just cause I started running it in my bike and my buddy is a dealer.

Even on that $10/gallon Walmart oil I still didn't have to clean my valves through the season. Cleaned them once pre-season, thats it.

IndyDan will not warrantee any crank that has been used with VES if that tells you anything. I think the problem is corrosion protection. The bearings rust then it tears up the crank.

You know the best guy to ask advice on that sled is the guy you bought it from.

Thanks guys. I think i am going to run the polaris blue.

Castrol is another great choice! $20/gallon

Redline race oil zero problems here

Am I too late ?
Let the debate begin !!​

Some additive don't do a good job, or cause corrosion which amazes me for a additive to do this to an engine.

I have used MOTUL, Redline,Polaris,KLOTZ, Honda,Penzoil,Yamalube, and Stihl.

Not much difference after a 1000 miles.

I've been runnin' yamalube 2S in my '01 700. Seems to do all right...

injex pro well see how well it does in the v.e.s 800 this year

 

[Mr Ripper]

so have I been given false info....i purchased a 04escape and the guy told me only ves gold. What's the deal? I would love to run something cheaper...

Run the old Polaris Blue, Indy Dan highly recommends this oil and has done extensive tests on it. Have been running it in his motors and have had great luck. I also run it in my 09 800 with no problems........

I have an 02 700 ProX with a VES motor(or so I'm told) I to was told to use the VES gold and the blue won't cut it... should i switch? The price isn't much different $5/jug or something like that...
