Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted October 13, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 13, 2018 So the original owner of the TNT I bought sent me a text today with some info and he ran Blue Marble in the sled and swears by it....I'll run anything decent and don't to spend a bunch of money on oil. Anybody have the lowdown on this Blue Marble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambroski Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Actually...I don't think Doo makes semi anymore for some reason. Go full syn doo on that etec. I'm still using it in my Cat. You can puck it up in 2 or 4 gallon pack pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo only has full synthetic or the old dino oil. You can run Doo oil or poo or cat full synthetic. I would buy whichever is cheaper. Honestly the Doo oil burns my eyes while idling.

Etec needs at least semi syn. If you have an old block just run dino oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Fuck...forgot it was the 500ss Run the cheapest shit you can find. Sea and Snow twc3 or some shit. It doesn't matter at all 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthetics will burn cleaner because they have more detergents. ie...less gummed up valves and other parts. The newer 2 stroke syns offer top notch protection too. Run whatever in it though...it should be fine. I think Poo guys swear by dino-oil because it gums up the gaps between their small diameter pistons in the oversized sleeve taking away the "slap" and keeping the skirts from dropping down into the cranks before 1000 miles***. That's none of your concern. ***it's funny but it's true..apparently. All the rage and a 100 pages on HCS over several threads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas. Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) My brother and I have run shell snow ultra full syn oil for about 8 years. He used to run it in his 2007 500ss, I ran it in my 600 cfi's and Suzuki 800. Decent price and not bad smelling. Never once had an issue and power valves never had a carbon issue. Was recommended to us by the local doo dealer years ago. Edited October 13, 2018 by Tomas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Stephen Hawking Posted October 13, 2018 Gold Member Share Posted October 13, 2018 I ran the amsoil original semi syn from new for about 4 years till they stopped marketing it for sleds. Since that time I went to Pennzoil premium plus which had the exact same specs and still sells for around 20 bucks a gallon. Have had zero motor issues and will crack 10000 miles on the sled this winter. 2002 cat 800 twin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 On etec engines you have to be careful with oil. The reason they have their own blend is because the early etec outboards would turn regular oil into an abrasive Ash in the cylinder as it burned. It was like running the motor on a mix of sandpaper and gasoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I remember the 100 page thread on blue marble on HCS years ago. Seems I rememberer it was not certified or something. i always ran Klotz in my 2 stroke sleds. It’s the best I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
