When in doubt, always go with the manual on this one- OR use a suitable equivalent . If the manual calls for XPS II, use it or a suitable equivalent. If the manual states TCW3, use TCW3 (Merc owners). I don't necessarily use the Bombardier oil, but the substitute I use meets or exceeds the manufacturers specs.
If your Doo is still in waranty, I recommend using whatever the manufacturer specifies.
