Does it matter if you were using one brand of synthetic and then decided to switch brands to another synthetic, without having the bottle emptied or the system drained, i mean synthetic is synthetic right? I know not to mix synthetic and conventional, just curious on what u guys think.
Doesn't matter at all. In fact, I wouldn't even worry about mixing conventional oils. I think you would be hard pressed to find two oils that aren't compatable.
If I am correct, most synthetic manufacturers will state on the jug that it is quite compatible when switching from one to another. No need to drain the old type out for the new, but I personally would'nt do a 50/50 reg/syn mix all the time LOL. I am sure you wouldnt either
My friends and I have changed oil brands many times over the years with no problems. I would suggest running the old oil down in the tank but otherwise mix away.
In ski-doo's owners manual they say it's o/k to mix their mineral and synthetic oil.I have been mixing mineral and synthetic at 50% since 1997.All brands,this year I'm trying ski-doo mineral with shell synthetic.
SAVE YOUR MONEY. NO DIFF BETWEEN GOOD MINERAL OIL AND SYNTHETIC. IVE TRYED TO FIND SOME SHADE OF A DIFFERANCE WITH THESE NEW EXAUST AND POWER VALVES ON THE ENGINES TODAY, AND AFTER 1000 MILES OF EACH I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY DIFFERANCE. IN PERFORMANCE OR CLEANLENESS OF THE VALVES. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED ITS A MONEY GRAB. JUST ANOTHER MOUSE TRAP FOR YOUR $$$$$$$$$.
One of the biggest things I hate is to ride paranoid. Worried about about if my new oil is compatable, if my jetting change is too lean, maybe I should've rebuilt my clutch, etc, etc. . The best way to feel comfortable about mixing oils that I've heard of is to mix them in a jar, let the jar sit for a day and see if the oils separate or if they stay mixed up. If they separate it may not be a good idea to mix them.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
