Default The Late Great Oil Debate

I have been thinking of switching 2T oil from Red Line Racing Oil (which I love) to XP-S Synthetic 2T Oil (recommended for Ski-Doo E-TEC 800R). The dealership I work at sells the XP-S Synthetic 2T in bulk. I can buy it for $6.25 a QT. While searching for info on the XP-S oil I ran across this great info on the grades of 2T oil. I think it would be worth a hoons effort to find out if their current 2T oil is up to the much better API-TC standard. You may be supprised!

Hey Jason,

Just to add another wrinkle...

I run this in my Berg, and this is what my dealer
recommended (even though they are supposed to push Motul).
