2 stroke oil and maintenance?

[asilva1818]

I just purchased a 99 xp and the seadoo 2 stroke premix oil used is hard to find. I live 20 mins from three major dealers and nobody seems to have it. Are there any substitutes for that oil? Also I think it's been sitting for a while, anyone recommend changing anything or doing any type of maintenance before riding? thanks

I just bought some XPS 2 stroke from J & M Camper cheaper than I could at my local dealer. 3 gallons for $136 shipped. Saved over $40.

There are alternatives if you search this forum you will find lots of info about oils.
I use Quicksilver PWC oil. It comes in full synthetic which is what XPS is and it also comes in a synthetic blend.

You will find it at walmart on the automotive oil isle. Not with the boat stuff.
about $10 per quart for the blend and $15 per quart for full synthetic

I don't know the prices on Gallons but they have them.

whatever you decide on, stick with it - I use amsoil blue in 95 and orange in the boat because the power valves. always carry a spare quart so you do not gel your oiling system.
