I run amsoil interceptor in my M10, just started using it this year and i like it 10 times better than the arctic cat oil. Doesn't smoke like crazy and smells better too! Same price at about $45 a jug.

i run brp mineral/semi/ full synthetic depending on the sled. cant complain other than some people dont like the smell. doesnt bother me its kept my motors in good shape for many miles

i can say that ive had a number of engines apart and anything running brp oils are always extremely clean while some other motors running different oils are always gummed up and very sticky. these werent quality oils by any means like amsoil but just the cheap junk you can buy at canadian tire etcetc

anyone know a good smelling oil LOL. i have a friend who gets extremely sick when he smells 2 stroke oil but loves to sled...sooooo

I run amsoil, have used blue marble and ski-doo oil.
All have worked fine for me.
When my 800 Doo was rebuilt (only used amsoil) it was Clean - Clean - Clean so I'm probably gonna stick with amsoil.

I have been using Spectro full synthetic no issues so far and not a lot of smoke either.

i have aditives for my mud rail to put in the alcohol makes it smell nice vanilla cinnamon popcorn would probably work for a sled also

BRP synthetic

 

[maxwell]

you run synthetic in your 670?

 

[TROLLCAT]

it has exshaust valves

 

[CATPRIDE]

I use Motul oil for the last couple of years..........about $50 for 4L..........been happy with it.......smells a bit different

 

[maxwell]

it has exshaust valves

so do all doo engines but synthetic didnt come out until the development of the 800r. mineral oil is wahts used previous

I had the same problem with Polaris Synthetic, switched to Castrol Mineral Oil after reading Indy Dans speel about synthetic oil. $20 a jug no problems so far with 3500 miles

what he said sean^^^^ get your buddy some "fuel fragrances" (google search) and he be will good to go.

I run dominator in one sled and Shell advance mineral in the other. You don't want a clean motor, it means your oil is burning away almost completely and not leaving any protection. You also don't want a motor full of oil, but somewhere in between. not too gummy but not entirely clean either. Some protection but also not so much oil that its causing parasitic friction loss.

 

[maxwell]

ya what i meant by clean was it had a thin layer of oil but not so much thick goop ( ex valves ) that they barely function

i use maxxim in my mod.. a castor based oil. seems to work ok.
and in the rev i have used blue marble and motomaster
