i just pulled my valves and cleaned them, no gum or tarnish, still wet with clean oil. minor carbon build up on tips, cleaned and reinstalled. i am using cat oil (last season) bought the sled used last year and he was running blue marble. not sure on the difference but i think i am sticking with cat oil seems good for now.

Scotty, where do you get yours in our area?

I normally pick it up at the Westend Shell bulk station this time of year... the last couple years Crappytire has matched their price as thet are a retail distributer. Just picked up another 4 four lite jugs of snow ultra syn on Monday.

If you are going to run Cat Synthetic, Smart choice by the way, then save a few bucks and buy Shell Snow Ultra Syn.... Cats Syn. is Shell Snow Ultra ;)

I'm sure Cat dealers don't like me sharing this info but.... sorry.

I've burned it for thousands of miles in APV sleds and Zero problems.
