Indy dan says no synthetic oil and will not stand behind a bottom end that has had synthetic. I dont run synthetic i run archer oil have had no problem.
Some people have run synthetic and had no problem. Its your sled run what you think is best

I have ran AMS Interceptor for my D7, D8 and now Pro. I haven't had one burn down. Take it for what it's worth, but I'm sticking to it.

Nothin but Redline for me! Been running it since they started making oil specifically for racing Karts back in the early 80's. I have used their 2 cycle oil in : Racing Karts, ATV's, Dirt Bikes, Street Bikes, Snowmobiles and some of their other products in my collector cars (Porsches), my Dodge Cummins Diesel (my baby!). I am not a big fan of synthetics in my daily driver street cars and trucks though. For those I use Castrol GTX or Valvoline. Synthetics are a great deal more forgiving when the engine gets very hot and won't break down as easily as castor or petroleum based products. I do have to admit though that the old Blendzall castor based oil sure did smell good when burned!!
My $0.02 worth.

Oh no!! Don't tell me you like Ford Diesels too!
Nothing against Ford in general...I put over 400K miles on an Escort I had and my escape has almost 200K!
Nothing like a good oil thread, lol..... I think oil is the one thing none of us will ever agree on.
I have run nothing but Polaris Gold in my sleds with no problems.

only Polaris gold has been run in mine and the engine looked like new when I swapped to 06 pistons. Almost everyone I ride with runs Amsoil Interceptor.
To many 900's burn down the mag side piston. Synthetic is tested to provide better lubrication and I am not going to switch from it.

I agree. Synthetic is the only way to go. I know the Polaris Gold is a fine product too. I just use the Redline Synthetic bacause I have been using it so long.

Redline synthetic and race oil. Burns super clean. Polaris gold used to have major sludge in valves 10 years ago.
