What Oil Should I Run in My 2 Stroke Snowmobile?

The Big Kid Powersports team sits down and discusses 2 stroke oil. If you are asking, "What 2 stroke oil is the best to use?", or "What oil does my snowmobile take?", you have to check this video out. There are a lot of answers to these questions.

Have to say this is the most unscientific review of oil ever. Lol. Like “Letter Kenny” high talking about oil.

Iv been mixing oil for many years. Polaris, brp royal purple yamalube etc.. As long as it is Synthetic. It's never hurt anything from what I have seen 6000k miles and still have great compression, clean valves etc..Sometimes on the trail you can't get what you primarily use.

Previous owner ran Shell Advance Mineral Oil... When we took apart the top end for a rebuild, we also took apart the Power Valves and they where swimming in goo... Then I read the back of the jug of the Shell Advance Mineral oil, and it said to use their synthetic oil for RAVE Valves... I will be running Synthetic Sinto Performa with 130 Octane which smells like Grapes. That will be as soon as the mineral oil get's really low in the oil reservoir. Sinto Performa is the oil I already use in my RM 250 and it has balls !

Read your MSDS sheets for each oil.
If the poor point, flash point, and Sp. Gravity is close between oils, they will all work interchangably well for bikes or sleds.
I use Mystic JT4 snowmonile oil and Klotz TC-W3 motorcycle in both bikes and sleds. Burns clean, powervalves are clean, etc.

I've been running older sleds my whole life. 97 and 98 artic cats. And a few skiddos. I have always used whatever 2 cycle oil I could find and never had a problem. My 94 skiddoo has been running on marine plus. It says snowmobiles on the back and meets tcw4 requirements. I just got a newer 2003 polaris and I am pretty sure the previous owner put red yamaha oil in it. I bought a few quarts of the polaris VES oil and couldn't believe the price. Do I wanna buy gallons for 20 bucks or gallons for over 60...

[andrewschrotenboer]

I run Stihl, Quicksilver, and Amsoil. Hoping to try Klotz and Reverend Motors soon too.

[carlatamanczyk]

I have run dirt bike oil in sleds and snowmobile oil in dirt bikes for 50 years.... No issues ever encountered.

[Gasgaspro]

Put a drop of any of that oil on the chair, please 😁

[mykelgreene]

Anyone use super tech outboard 2 stroke tc-w3 oil in their sled? It says for sleds, bikes, ect.

[TWLML]

Amsoil is manufactured in my hometown and I’ve never blew up a two-stroke machine that I run it in…

[joshgessinger]

Been a amsoil dealer at one time always loved it and its a great oil. But that being said have u seen the price of it now. Its out of control when i can go to O'Reilly Auto parts store buy Mystik full synthetic for $35 a gallon. Or they have lucas for $40 a gallon full synthetic. Both great oils my father runs in his Etechs i run it in my Ctechs with no issues.

[fredluden]

There is no reason not to run full synthetic. It’s better in every way except price

[mikeblake]

Does it matter whether or not its fuel injected or carb for any of these oils I have a 1997 Yamaha venture 600 with Carburetors I'm redoing and I bought a gallon of the yamalube s2 is this going to work I have heard from alot of people saying this is just for fuel injected only

[waynebaron]

Hi I have a Polaris touring 600 and I'm using Polaris blue is there something else I can use

[dukedude]

After researching online for 3 days straight... I went with klotz.

[kgrant]

When ever I switched oils I pounded the oil to the gas tank

[RealDirtyDan]

As long as it’s an API TC oil it should be fine

[stanjuan]

I watched this video for a reason. And, not that it's your fault, it didn't really answer the question I was looking to get answered. My question to you guys is, My 2004 Legend recommends basically the BRP oil that translates to the modern day shit they run in eco tech sleds. That shits $89 dollars a gallon. Obviously that gets expensive real quick. I mean nothing about this sport is cheap but jesus my pocket book. Isn't there something in the say $50 range that would work as good? I mean the answer here is "do your research". And in part, that's what I'm doing here. Or it's at least one of the ways i'm going about it. Asking people that have been doing this for a while. At one tank of oil per one tank of gas for two sleds, it's working out to almost a gallon per 100 miles. Between the gas for two sleds and the oil, that's WAY more money per mile than my truck costs to pull my 27' RV. I don't want to "Cheap Out" on something critical. But are there any reasonable alternatives?

[scoobydoo]

Amsoil Interceptor keeps engine clean and no scores on pistons, not much smoke like others, full synthetic only way to go..

[lewisbrazil]

Blue Marble, why because it keeps power valves clean, I have not cleaned a power valve since I switched to BM 10 years ago.
