False claim #1 Take the rating 5W-40 . . . Sorry to pop anyone’s preconceived bubble, this is a 5W base (stock) oil – great for a cold engine, yet (with no added VIs), it’s going to turn as thin as...

False claim #1

Take the rating 5W-40 . . . Sorry to pop anyone’s preconceived bubble, this is a 5W base (stock) oil – great for a cold engine, yet (with no added VIs), it’s going to turn as thin...

You've made a lot of false claims in this post. I suggest you read this then come back and comment

was thinking the same...looks more like 300

Jump the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. If you get same results, its the battery If its turns over good its the solenoid

LS1 is correct. Most people have no clue how to maintain these vehicles.

How was this ski driven? Lots of rough water?

Been draining mine for 20 years (sleds and skis) never and issue, and no condensation. BRP even recommends this. Leaving the tank full will yellow the plastic over time. In the spring you top up...

No Joke, my dealer sell 450 machines per year and spark has been flawless. In fact the lake I ride on has more and more sparks each year to the point I think 50% of total on the lake are sparks. No...

You must have bad luck, never seen a Spark with any issues.

What baffles me is people say they blow an engine at 10 hours then come to an internet forum for answers insteade of going to the dealer for warranty? Name of selling dealer is never mentioned, so...

If you can get 3L out of a 1500 you are doing well, not sure about the 300

Bilford pretty much nailed it. The BRP oil is fine, and I dont buy it shears down to a 30W in 20-30 hours. Only way to know is to post UOA test results. Even it it did, its fine as the reason they...

Yes, you are right, but the Polytec hull finally shows up on a GTR

Your predictions have pretty much come true.

The Gear worn by Capt Seadoo is not for sale. This is just retro theme for promotional material

What did your dealer say?

Here's the thing, since we dont need a winter start up viscosity, a 10W40 is fine. So is a 5W40, or a 0W40. (All 40 weight at operating temp.) The advantage of a 5W40 or 0W40 in summer use is...

Sea-doo's dont have a tranny to shear down oil and lots of turbo charged MB's and BMW's run a 5W40 or 0W40 for 10K to 20KM's Also a quality synthetic will have no to little VII to shear down....

A 5W40 will break down in 25 hrs? Nonsense. Yet its fine for a Porsche or Mercedes? In Europe these cars have 20,000KM OCI's

First number is irrelevant for summer use as no winter start ups in this application. A 0W40, 5W40, 10W40 and straight 40W are all a 40 weight at operating temperature. A 5W40 will flow better at...

A 40 weight not the best option as most people never warm these engines up properly. it's 30 seconds after start, then wide open. A 40W very thick and would need 5 mins of idle to thin to operating...

Yes, they do, marine and watercraft forum
