I have 96 spx I don't think it has the rave valves? new to this jet ski thing from Ohio working in ca and i thought it would be nice to run on the Colorado river. I also would put the oil in a yamaha wave venture that is also a 2 stroke. I hope to bring these back to Ohio and go to Higgins Lake in MI.

BRP mineral oil is good for the 587 & 657 engines, I recommend for 657X & 720's BRP XPS synthetic.
I fully stand behind the Seadoo engineering in the use of BRP oils formulated expressly for these High Performance
engines long life expectancies. They have spent many years in the developement in their oils to have the best crankseal life.
every two years = change oil injection lines to RV, change oil filter in the injection supply line.
every five years = change oil tank grommets and swab/clean out oil tank.
At every season end when storing = pincher the main oil line to RV gear cavity. (remove at start of season). This will help the crankseals from becoming distorted and hence from leaking oil into the lower case.

Bill,
Last year when BRP (or at least the local dealer) started charging $68.00 a gal. for their oil, I was told that since my ski did not have rave valves that mineral oil would be fine. I started using Quicksilver PWC oil, API-TC, just looked at the jug, its actually synthetic blend.
Do you think I should change to full synthetic?

David,
Sorry to get off the track. YamaLube which is what your Yamaha would use is TC-W3. This is outboard engine oil.
Pretty sure this is correct, a friend of mine has a WaveRunner and thats what he uses (Klotz TC-W3), he also uses it in his Mercury 2 stroke outboard.

I just bought a gallon from my local and it was 42 out the door.
Lou, your gti is recreational touring and mineral in that 3 seater 720 is OK.
A two seater that is jumping & revving, like an SPX, I advise XPS.
Amsoil & others may save a few pennies or dollar discounts, IMO is not BEST for a Seadoo engine.

Hi David,
BRP stands for Bombardier Recreational Products, they make amoung other things, SeaDoo, SkiDoo, CanAm, Johnson/Evinrude, the parent company makes the Canada Air Regional Jet.
Just ask for injection oil for a SeaDoo 2 stroke, API-TC, SeaDoo XPS, or equivalent. Do you know what oil the previous owner used, if you do you should use the same. If you don't know you will need to drain the old oil, add fresh oil and purge the system.
For Yamaha all you need is TC-W3 which is basically outboard engine oil, sorry I don't know Yamaha all that well to advise you what to use.

Awsome let's just look at it as giving them options. Lol.
We're just pulling your chain, this oil debate has been going on longer than I have been a member of this forum. You'll be O.K. with the QuickSilver, it's made by, or at least marketed by Mercury Marine so its good quality. Just be sure to get API-TC rating.
