Depends on the muffler you have?
What's the best aftermarket muffler to run on the new xms ?
Also are the Duratracs a good winter tire ?

Good grief Martha !!! Lol

So I guess none of you actually read the documents you were signing when you purchase your new snowmobile. That box you initialled saying only to use xps synthetic oil to maintain warranty. Sure maybe brp has to honor warranty because it meets specifications but I'm thinking as soon as you sign it's a different ball game

Gotta follow directions, no mods no changes, Like maxwell says , Except of course a can and no snow flap, those are acceptable. Lol.

It does NOT say only to use XPS... and it says NOTHING about warranty on the sheet where you initial that. it says "the dealer has informed me of the importance of using the following" and where you intitial... It says "Preffered Oil" XPS synthetic and "Minimal Requirements" XPS synthetic blend.

Refinery? Lol try a lab where it's mixed. All synthetic oils start off with a base stock call a PAO, (this is just a acronym) than its mixed to manuf recommended blends. I have no idea if brp contracts out their blend or actually make it themselves. A company like brp, bombardier etc, making planes, trains and snowmobiles lol I wondered if they actually have their own lubes division.

we have cats and have always run yamilube.... there was an oil thread on here where a dude actually broke down the chemical compositions of different oils blah blah blah....

It's a lubricant, some people will swear by one over another but in the end they all do the same thing....lots of guys on here swear by the shell stuff at crappy tire for $36 jug.

I get my yamilube cheaper than that and it's "dealer recommended"

Joes power valves are cleanest on amsoil and bobs are cleanest on doo and Dicks are cleanest on shell
Joe blew 2 motors on shell BOB has always used amsoil with no issues and Dick cratered a motor on yamilube

as many opinions as there are brands

Yamalube 2S? Or 2R?? 2R is expensive(but its good)

I am getting sick when riding on XPS, eyes tears and headache, I think I am allergic to it . May I use Polaris Synthetic OIL on XM?
I have both PRO and XM, would be very convenient to me use the same oil for both sleds.
Or you guys still think that Amsoil and Shell way better then POlaris?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I think the Polaris synthetic is a "lighter" oil. May not mix well with the "heavier" Doo oil...............................................................sorry had to. Lol.

I would suspect the doo's are programmed to reject anything polaris.... you should have thought about that before buying 2 different brands of sled... both will now see you as a traitor. mix the doo & poo oils @ 50/50 and run in both
