Does anyone happen to know where I can find Legend Oil locally in Denver? I would like to give it a try, but don't want to have to always order the stuff in. Thanks for any advice.

Isn't Legend $38/gallon or so? Just head on down to Bass Pro and pick yourself a bottle of Mystic JT/4 100% synthetic or their Mystic JT/4 Ultimate High Performance Oil is which is a syn/conventional blend. Only $19.89 gallon. If you are running a Polaris 800 save the $18/gallon you save for new pistons which you'll need eventually regardless of oil you use.
Both oils have a very good reputation and Hugo Chavez is dead (its a Citgo product). IIRC, both are JASO FD rated which means that your power valves will stay cleaner as long.
There is no reason other than greed (manufacturer and retailer markup) for oil to cost more than $20/gallon unless you believe the extra cost of ground unicorn horn and magic fairy dust is worth it as oil additives.
No oil will work unless you have the proper oil ratio. High revving engines need more oil ratio, not less because of decreased oil dwell time on surfaces. 32:1-38:1 is where I shoot for as a compromise between lubrication/power and longevity.
On other smaller 2 stroke engines that rev up to 28,000 rpm, I use a fuel that contains 5 to 7:1 fuel to oil ratio. with 20% of the oil being castor. These engines wouldn't last 5 minutes on 50:1 at those rpms.

Bparks & I have a source for Yamalube 2-R, which is a similar quality oil for less $$... I'm ok with hooking other folks up as long as I don't have to deal with a bunch of hassle to do it.
Btw, it's about $150 a case... if someone has a way to get it cheaper than that, I'm interested!

Thanks for the replies guys. BCIL, what you said just reminded me, I think I can get a deal on yamalube as well, not a bad idea, didn't think of that. ill prob just stick with what ive been running or run yamalube, Ive always had good luck with it in the past anyhow.
After how he treated Q & Chuck, then T-Main down in CB (that one is a fun story
) , then Bill... and I know of two other people in other states he's pulled shady crap on (changing prices after shipping product), I just can't do it anymore. I just refuse to give my money to that kind of slimeball.I'll say the 2r doesn't smell nice like the legend, but you can't smell it at all... which is good enough for me! Even in the garage a few days ago right at startup I whiffed it & it just didn't have any scent, hard to complain about that. Glad I made the switch.
