2007 Seadoo Challenger Oil Recommendation

[thewhitehouse]

I have the 4tec 1503 engine (without a supercharger) with this boat. What type of oil weight (5 or 10?) and brand (Liqui-Molly?) do you all like to use? I have also read that the recommendation is synthetic blend over fully synthetic?

Aside from attaching a API level you do not say what you mean?
BRP recommends SM, SL or SJ, as it seems all three are acceptable no matter how old the API level is!
