Most bang for buck oil?

[vincebarnett]

I was wondering what's the most bang for buck oil I should use in my 03 800 EFI mc?

I use Mystik JT-4 full sythetic snowmobile oil. It meets the most current standards (JASO FC & FD, and ISO-L-EGD), and is less than $20/gallon. Near me (Illinois), I can get it at Farm and Fleet stores. Been using it for several years now and no problems and the APV's are as clean as with other oils I have used.

I've had good luck with Yamalube. Around $20 for a gallon most places and if your dealer gets it in bulk, it is an even better deal.

Is the Mystic the full Syn. version of Citgo sea and snow?

It is hard to beat Phillips 66 Injex on a budget.

I was using APV oil for a while but was tired of the price ($46 a gallon) up here in AK so I switched to yamalube ($27) and didn't have any problems for the last half of the season but was just making sure I made a good choice for this year!

X2 on the S2 Yamalube. Burns super clean and never a problem. $4-5 a qt.

I guess you could say that. Citgo sea and snow is now packaged as Mystic Sea and snow, at least near me. I never ran the Sea and snow in an APV but ran it a lot in non-apv sleds without problem. As I understand it, Sea and Snow is semi-synthetic. The JT-4 is full synthetic. It is cheap enough that I run it in all my sleds now, APV or non-APV.

109 I have run the Citgo Sea and Snow in both my Tcat and my 900 twin, I havent bought any in a while as I got 3 cases, maybe they changed it up.
The only thing I noticed was the oil residue in the power valve? I thought my oiler may have been set on the high side? Ill probably finish off the last case this year! I went this route cause I did not want to spend $40 buck a gallon any more!

That's why I run the JT-4 full synthetic. It is only a few $$ more than the Sea and Snow and the power valves run as clean or cleaner than any other oil I have tried.

I've always run Shell Advance Snow Ultra, Inexpensive and its what Polaris and Arctic cat rebottle and sell you as the " Arctic Cat factory oil" or whatever they call it. So if you have warranty, any issues regarding running it arent going to be a problem.

what oil to use is a**holes, everyone has their own strong opinions on what lube to use.

Personally, after the last year, I' sticking with Legend.
