Sea & Snow is currently on sale for $18 a gal by me. I put that shit in everything. Rumor has it Sea and Snow is/was the same as Yamalube? I've used Shell dino injector oil in my 95 XLT now for more than a few years. Decent price but the XLT uses it up rather quickly! I use to use Produmax but they sold/were bought out and the price practically doubled! On 11/14/2019 at 8:41 PM, Woodtick said: I like Lucas. I use their oil stabilizer and injection cleaner in the Jeeps as maintenance. Reasonable prices and their stuff works. I've never used an oil stabilizer in anything I have owned. Imo, with today's quality oils it is unnecessary and a waste of money. It also isn't regarded at bobistheoilguy.com. Sea Foam is what I use as a stabilizer. It is also a cleaner. I've used it religiously in everything I own for likely 10 yrs now. It's amazing how clean it keeps carbs and makes everything run good.

I run tanks as low as possible on the sleds and start with fresh fuel. Lawn mower, and snowblower run until empty and start fresh each season. Same with weed whacker, blower and chainsaw. Never had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run Sea Foam all season long anyways but I do give it an extra dose if I suspect it will be my last ride or I'll run some through in the garage. I don't believe in leaving fuel or leaving a full tank in anything. Adding fresh fuel in the Spring/Fall makes more sense to me as I think this condensation nonsense is overblown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sleds , I just run a bottle of isopropyl in the first tank. And then about every 3rd tank after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I likely have about 10 of those small bottles sitting on my shelf that I likely purchased 10+ years ago. Since I started using Sea Foam in everything, I lost the need for those. If you lived a lot closer, I'd give them to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like those little Maxima bottles because you can toss a couple in your tunnel bag and they don't take up much space. Thanks for the thought 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 22 F here this morning but sunny/nice out. Suppose to start warming up today and be above freezing all week long with rain rain/snow mix. Not that we have a lot of snow left now anyways but next week will surely take care of the rest. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/on-117_metric_e.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One step forward and two steps back seems to be the trend. Up until 4-5 years ago we always started riding on Boxing Day and did a New Years eve ride/dinner/party with friends.
