Snowmobiling is an expensive hobby either way you slice it . . BRP knows which oil is best for use in their engines, and that is the oil they formulated for us to use. I see no reason to use cheap oil in a sled that cost 10k. Use the oil that was designed for this engine. JMO.
Do I need to run Ski Doo Oil?

What is the oil for??
blue marble runs fine in mine....
I use to run the BRP oil. But my buddy from the one dealer ship told me that a good syn oil is fine. He said they never had any geif about warrenty with different oils. I run the shell stuff and i notice no changes except that i can get it for almost 50/4L jug cheaper than BRP oil. But BRP oil is good no questions about that, but when you buy a 15K sled, some times you dont have that much money left over.
I've run amsoil in everything I own for the last 8 years with no issues at all. I sell the synthetic 2 stroke in bulk so I order it a drum at a time...makes it pretty cheap comparitively.
I've been running the Shell Synthetic for 1300 miles and no problems so far.
Oh boy another thread debating oil, that's never happened before, LMAO!

How do you formulate a oil for any brand of engine???
They all have bearings, pistons and other moving parts.
What is so different from a basic Ski Doo engine to a Polaris engine to a Cat engine???
I know that Indy Dan ( Polaris engine guru ) says that there is nothing wrong with plain old petroleum oil is just fine, and he has never had a oil related failure because of petroleum oil use .
