Re: oil

I run the Penzoil 100% synthetic stuff, does the trick :)

Re: oil

Walmart even has their Supertech name I believe which is a Tcw3 for a decent price. It comes in a gallon jug too.

Re: oil

I have no idea what was in it when you got it or what is in it now - but yes, it needs synthetic for long life, as do all the other big cc, high HP PWC 2 strokes.

Re: oil

Yes I would go full, and you should have no problem just refilling when you are very low.

Re: oil

My '00 Pro1200 has been fed Polaris Blue (non synthetic) since the day it came off the showroom floor and hasn't shown a sign of faltering in 6 years running, blows about 145-147 psi each cylinder.

Guess I should be shopping for that top end kit soon.:emoticont
