My buddy was chatting to an owner of an Arctic Cat shop about his Powder Special..He happened to mentioned that had Ipone oil in his Cat and the business owner told him to remove the oil..He had scene more problems occur because people were using that oil..Told him to use anything else but the Ipone...What oil would you suggest..I have been thinking of switching to Amsoil Interceptor, or Shell Ultra synthetic..

Blue Marble - can't say enough about that stuff! If you ever hear of someone with any type of lubricant-related problem who uses Blue Marble, it would be news to me!

I also use XP-S oil. My cousin put redline in his blew it up and my uncle put Amsoil in his 2001 MXZ 800 and the sled ran sh&%ty. Changed it out on the trail as he was riding and put Skidoo oil in and ran like a champ. I am not even gonna chance putting anything in but Skidoo. I use fully synthetic and it burns pretty clean.

I have heard of many people using Ipone without any issues...not sure of what problems the dealer is talking about.

Castrol Go Snow is the same exact thing as the Bombardier Oil and it is cheaper. Just to let people know.

Always safe to go with manufacturer suggested oil

It does help with warranty issues. A leaned piston will get fixed a lot faster......and faster yet if you cry

Legend Performance ZX-2 or ZX-R . Best stuff that I have ever used in a sled(and that is no joke). When I bought the product from Mark he gauranteed if I was not happy he would buy it back!! But I gaurantee you will like it. Very affordable compare to the other.

Everyone will obviously suggest "their oil" from personal experience, so it's really up to you as to what oil you want to use. I can tell you right now...Amsoil Interceptor, XPS, Blue Marble, and Klotz are high quality oils that will not give you any trouble. Find the cheapest one of these 4 in your area and go with it. For me, it's Amsoil Interceptor.
