Many members have asked me about the brand of oil I use. I have the 1997 Challenger and the 1997 GTX, both with the 787cc Rotax engine.
When I bought the Challenger in 2007, the previous owner said he had the boat serviced once a year and only used XP-S oil. When I brought it home, I found out there was no local dealership that sold the XP-S oil. The nearest Seadoo dealer to me is in Gulf Shores. Which is about a 2 hour drive from my home. I thought about going to get a few gallons but then decided, if I ran out, what would I do in a pinch. So, I decided to see if I could find another oil that met BRP’s requirements.
One day I was in Walmart, getting oil and a filter for my truck. I spotted the Quicksilver oils and started reading the back label. In the first paragraph, it stated that it met all requirements for Seadoo’s 2 stroke motors. This oil is not NMMA (National Marine Manafacturers Association) or TCW-3 ashless oil.
There have been many members PM me and say they can’t find this oil in their local Walmart. If you want this oil, you can try to order it through Walmart online or go to the store manager and make a request for him/her to order it for you. From what I understand from a member that ordered it last year, all you need is the SKU number.
Tonight I went to Wally World and took the time to go by and get these numbers and took a couple pix.
The “Full Synthetic” costs $37.97 at my store. The number is 74506167708 and on the back of the bottle, it has a part number listed as 92-858015Q03.
There is also a mineral oil with synthetic additives that Quicksilver sells, that sits right beside the Full Synth. It runs $27.97. The SKU number for it is 74506167702 and the part number on the bottle is 92-858033Q01.
I like this oil. It’s convenient for me and after pulling down my 787cc last year, the pistons tops were so clean, I could read the stamped piston size and the direction marker on it. I’m not saying it’s better than any other oil. I’d probably run AMSOIL if it was local. But I don’t want to get caught off guard with no way to take out my toys because I ran out of oil.
