New Polaris super slippery racing oil
- Thread starter Mentzel
- Start date
If your talking about the EVS Extreme. IMO, it's very good. I had some test oil that I ran in my 860 big bore mod sled last year and tore it down to freshen it up and everything was within specs, great compression, extremely clean, even the exhaust valves were cleaner than I'm used to. Minimal wear and flows better at extreme cold temps.
Polaris claims 20% better. All I know is I didn't even need to put rings in a ported, bored, piped, custom heads and tune sled that was "only driven to church on Sunday"
Thats a first for me, so I will be running it in my new 850 over aftermarket or standard VES
*Insert dumb comment here:
Seems like the only thing it cant do is tell us which one of our 850's will have bearing problems.....

I spilled a bit on the floor today, stepped in it later, did a complete backflip and landed on my feet. Very slippery stuff. When I spilled the standard VES on the floor two weeks ago, I stepped in it, landed on my head. Didn't get the rotation.
Seriously, I think that any factory oil is good stuff. I use Doo oil in my Husky chainsaw (60:1) as well as my 2015 TE125 Husky, same ratio. Good results.
As far as the Polaris recommendation to use the new stuff? Dunno. Several of my buds use Amsoil. They are still running.

The time has come where it's best to run the oil the factory recommends.
I WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER USE AMSOIL ! Out dated drain oil.

I should add that I don't pick an oil because it has a pro rider endorsement. This new oil was formulated to meet the exact specs that Polaris asked for. A good friend works there at Lube-tech and he has done that same testing on his 860 mod sled with the same results that I had. Here is some info on the company that is making it:http://custombrands.lubetech.com
*After slipping on the floor from this oil, I couldn't get a full rotation ether, I landed flat on my back which indicates to me I just need to loose some weight

Yes, and yes its compatible.
really
So what do you run, I would imagine there are plenty of good oils out there. Like ktm says run motorex and husky says belray same bikes.

Bud has been a Redline guy for years, per Carl's. This year, they recommended the new Poo oil for the 850, he switched.
I was running Redline Racing 2 stroke synthetic (their top of the line 2 stroke oil) in my '16 800 from day one. I switched to the VES Extreme this season after assembling a complete new spare 800 I had sitting around. I did this due to pulling out my BMP 860 so I could install the 2019 BD Sidekick Switch turbo I bought.
Only reason I switched is the Extreme is around $57-58 a gallon and the Redline Racing is close to $80 a gallon.
