 Snowmobile Oil and Maintenance

Any of you guys own snowmobiles? I've never owned nor driven one. Just purchased two used units and am wondering what type of oil to put in them. Both are 2 up touring models and carbureted.

First unit is a 2002 Ski-doo 600 liquid cooled, with 780 miles, air suspension, studs and heated hand grips. It was using Ski-doo's standard mineral oil.

Second unit is a 2003 Polaris 550 fan cooled, with 1600 miles and heated hand grips. No studs. It was using Polaris's standard mineral oil.

1.Would you keep using the same oil and buy both types?
2.Would you switch both over to using the same oil? If so, which one?
3.Would you go to a synthetic blend?

Ski-doo has a synethic blend called XPS. On the carton it states for E-TEC, SDI, Power-TEK and all liquid cooled Carbureted engines. Since the Polaris is fan cooled, it would not seem appropriate to use it. What about the AMSOIL brand?

 Snowmobile Oil and Maintenance

Hardwood:

All of them used to be 2 strokes but they now offer 4 strokes. However, they are really expensive. Ski-doo has a new 2 stroke out there that is really clean burning and that is also expensive.

Snowmobiles have gone a long way since the '70s (I hope) cuz I'm not planning for break downs and only hoping for fun. The gear has improved lots as well. Am looking at spending about $500.00 per person for gear.

Got about $8,500.00 invested in snowmobiles and a trailer. Hope we enjoy this winter sport. Could have saved this for retirement but gotta have some fun first!
