What oil to use?

[KDdunDIDit]

Hey, so I'm new to the seadoo world this year. I have a 1995 seadoo gtx. Thing runs great since I bought it, but currently needs oil. Iv read alot and honestly ppl say so many different things on what oil to use. So I'm just trying to find out what I should be using? Last think I would want is to destroy the machine lol.

You should be using any API-TC spec oil, nothing that says TCW-3.
Three top choices are, Seadoo XPS 2-T Mineral oil, Mystic JT4 and Lucas 2-stroke.

Lucas has some not rated for the Seadoo so make sure the only Lucas you use looks exactly like this....


And to add to this you can't mix two different brands of oil so when switching you need to drain the oil tank and oil system, replace the white inline oil filter and bleed the system.

Awesome thank you! So I actually already picked up the mystik JT4 already, and I just wanted to make sure first lol. I appreciate the help. That's what I picked up.

The experts here, which are THE BEST, might tell you other products to use. This is what I use because it's super easy to find and it meets the requirements for my 951 1998 GTX Limited.

The Mystic JT4 and Amsoil Interceptor are both good approved oils.

Why is it Not ok to mix two oil brands? What is the consequence if they’re both API-TC?
