I just bought a 2000 rxdi and it was runing great,it got low on oil so i got some TCW3 Synthetic two-stroke oil not knowns Sea-Doos don’t Use it... it wouldn’t I don’t know when I put it in the water and seem to be weak but I thought maybe it was just need to burn the world so I have put it in around run OK and then just seem really weak and the maintenance required light flashed on the beach so it started going back to shore realize it had the wrong oil in it so I drained the tank put the correct I don’t know when I put it in the water and seem to be weak but I thought maybe it was just need to burn the world so I have put it in around run OK and then just seem really weak and the maintenance required light flashed on the beach so it started going back to shore realize it had the wrong oil in it so I drained the tank put the correct approved oil in it (mystik jt4 Full synthetic ) and its running on land but sounds like its idealing rough an not wanting to Accelerate at high-speed’sit’s bogging down and maintenance required light has came on at times for the short time I’ve had it running since it’s not been back in the water any help I would appreciate it or thoughts on this thank you
 
so, #1 we all make mistakes, hopefully this isn't costly.

#2, perform a compression test - if there is poor compression - you have bigger problems than oil types.

#3 - Miki is correct - mixing oil types can cause them to gel and solidify and possibly starve the engine for oil.
#4 ebay has the actual SEA-DOO oil. XPS-II. I used to buy in cases of 3 gal.

Compression test good: move on to fixing other things
Compression test bad: get ready to pull the engine.

The DI has a specific procedure for this, I don't know it off hand.
You're looking for 130-140 PSI each, and it's more important that both are 'close' than the exact number. If both are 120-125, you should be fine. If one is 100 and the other is 120 you're shot.
 
No, ive been working on my 95xp ,but im not really sure where the oil filter is on the rxdi and im not familiar with bleeding the oil pump ,is there any videos i can learn from??
I got a come pression tester today so I can check that and I think it can be used for the carburetor checks as well as what it says on the box I’ve been painting my 95 and my 2000 RX today will post pictures Soon
 
OK so update today I change the oil filter and I noticed one of the clear lines I believe vacuum lines had a hole in it towards the back of the motor on top ,so I cut that out and I’m not sure if I got any possible air pockets out of the line going down to the actual pump passed the new filter so I did try to pour some oil in it but it’s pretty much stopped once it hit the oil filter on top ,so I added Extra oil pre-mix to the gas and I’m going to try to put octane boost in the 87% gas that’s in it and I’m taking it to the lake first thing in the morning tomorrow
