I just came across Citgo Low Smoke Superguard Sea & Snow Synthetic Oil. It claims to be approved for Sea Doo and Ski Doo Bombardier engines. It shows "Low Smoke", "FC", and JASO M 345 specifications. Bombardier XPS Synthetic shows JASO M 342-92 specifications and an ASTM spec as D-5864-96.

The Citgo oil is much less expensive than the Bombardier oil.

Does anyone have information on use of the Citgo oil in Sea Doo boats with the Rotax engines?

Afre there any good alternatives to the expensive Bombardier oil ?

Thank you.

The XPSII is a full synthetic, where the Citgo is synthetic blend . I used it in my Speedster with 85's, and it did great. Those engines do not require a full synthetic, however, I believe the 110's do . The JASO M 345 is likely a newer spec, and may be just fine for you. Look for the older API-TC spec as well.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has used the Citgo. I just haven't heard of anyone with the 110's using it. Check out the Amsoil oils as well. Don't know if they are any cheaper than the XPSII.
