I picked up a Sea Doo Challenger with twin 85hp rotax engines. Just had the carbs rebuilt, both engines are still in excellent shape (135+ psi on all cylinders)
The previous owner, who had it for 7 years, used the Sea Doo XPS II synthetic 2-stroke oil and I still have a nearly full tank of oil, however, since it is a twin engine, my thoughts on buying oil is making me think that the $21 cost for the API-TC certified Quicksilver is worth the savings vs the $48 XPS oil.
I know this issue has been hashed out on numerous threads, most people say that Quicksilver is ok to use but for the "slight price difference, stick with XPS" but that was when QS was $38/gallon.
Now that Wal-Mart is selling it for $21, what is everyone's thinking on it? And also, should I wait until the oil tank is near empty before adding in the new oil?
