full eyes

I have been running polaris race oil in my stock 600rr..One of the best 2 stroke builders that is dialing my sled in for me told me the race oil is overkill.
He suggested that I run a semi synthetic and it would work fine..He said that if my sled had a high strung race engine the polaris race oil would be good but not needed with the stock 600 ho engine..So next season I think I will try the semi oil and save a little cash.

Shades of old threads, batman!

KC just went over 15k on this one, had to dig into the past to do it

i run the polaris semi synthetic oil in my sleds because that is what the dealer says will work correctly in my sleds as long as the oil meets the specs of the engine man. then it will be just fine to run in and by the way is not as if the oil is staying in a sump or a oil pan its getting burned off anyways its a 2 stroke

Yea I think so I was just wondering about what people thought about it

Renagade

well it burns clean on my exhaust valves, and
used way less than mineral oil.

Yea that's what I heard also that it gives better fuel economy and less heat and better wear protection

Renagade

ive never checked fuel economy, i dont wana
know. damn triples. but when they were
made no-one cared cause gas was 0.99 a gallon.
all were bitchin bout oil consumption.

Right here man!
I would use the syn and just turn down the pump a bit! I was running the oil in my 04 Pantera 800 and was consered about how Little oil it used! less than half what the 03 was useing with Interseptor!

Why turn the pump down?

The guys at rp told me it was ok to mix conventional and synthetic until the conventional is gone or should I drain the resivor?

From what I have been told, syntetic and dino oils are fully interchangable. Going back and forth is no problem. I would wait until the tank was low and then do a full fill. I have done it a bunch of times on the trail where I could not get synthetic out in the boonies. Never had a problem. I run amsoil 100 to 1 or dominator.

That is what I thought

Unless the manufacturer specs out for synthetic only, you CAN switch to or from: full-syn, semi-syn, dino oil without any worry.

Synthetic blends are just that, a blend of dino oil and synthetic.

Summary: Fully interchangeable. It was a myth that was started long ago, unfortunately it is a myth that still lingers.

Do I have to do anything to my oil pump?

Kemo

you should be able to just pour in your oil and go.

Polaris55094

Ok I heard you should turn your pump down or something

Kemo

I have never heard of having to do this before, when switching to synthetic.

K just making sure
