Shell Advance is the same oil as Arctic Cat APV, just cheaper in price.

It smells entirely different and is not the same color though?
Haven't paid attention to viscosity yet.

Just browsed the CT flyer from Camrose and the Shell oil is not in it. Is it an any other CT flyers from other regions?
You don't necessarily want your oil to burn clean away. Sometimes you need the ash to help cool things down in your motor. I run the Advance regular (not semi or full syn) since the sulphated ash helps cool the piston domes. I run the jetting a little closer to the ragged edge (50% of the time) and so I need the ash to help cool the domes or I run the risk of melting a piston. Doo covers the full warranty on Shell oils, no risk of you having a voided claim because you didn't use Ski Doo oil, I'm sure most of the others are the same.
I recommend that you guys talk to the oil guys, who really know the oil, base components and detergents, additives, etc, not the dealers. The oil experts are the oil experts for good reasons. So long as it won't void warranty, and make sure that part is in writing somewhere (usually on the bottle or the website), then I would run what the oil guys say to run (and I do).

well cant say ive ever ran outside to see if the new flyer is here and yup its on sale this week starting today
I am still trying to decide to for my RT1000. Previous owner ran doo synthetic for 1800 miles not sure if I want to change it? I have an amsoil account so I can get it for cheaper but i'm guessing it's the same price as the doo stuff. No idea what i'm going to do yet. Cheaper is good but not worth if if the oil is crap.

Your supposed to put oil in these things. Oh NO!
JK I run the DOO synthetic. Not sure If I would trust the crappy tire stuff. JMO

You do know it's not their oil? Canadian tire sells amsoil, redline, and royal purple to and I don't think anyone will call those crap!

Just an other useless response but I had been running Castrol in my 99 700 RMK and now in my 06 Rev that I have owned since new and I have never fouled a plug and have never had a problem except the dealer had me using a tank of gas to a tank of oil ( Still did not foul a plug ) I took it in and they calibrated the oil pump to a NON WARRANTY spec...LOL and still no prob I think as long as your machine is set up properly and your not running recycled oil out of a glass jar you should be OK:d:d O buy the way I am running Amsoil now not sure why peer pressure maybe?????

according to the guarantee on the side of the shell syn bottle...I heard the shell ts the same as the doo oil????
ON SALE NOW canadian tire $33.for 4 litre $141tax in for a case.
I pick up a case of it this year from him at the sled show. I can't remember what I paid, but it is a heck of a lot cheaper than APV from Cat. I figured it was worth a try, full synthetic oil.

I had a 97 700 mountain max that yamaha said would blow up if reved over 9000rpm, i clutched it for 10000rpm since day 1 and never touched the engine, all i ever used was shell advance (non synthetic)
I now have a 04 800 rev with nos and all i ever run is synthetic co-op oil 27 bucks for 4 liter jug. never touched the engine. run it in my ktm 250xcw too. the oil is tcw3 rated.
Think about it, there is about 3 refineries in western canada that supply fuel and oils to canada. our fuel and oils all come from just about the same place with different labels. of course there are other brands that are imported. Good Luck, Trent.
