I have an 06 Seadoo RXP. Is there an alternate oil I can use other than the Seadoo Brand Oil? Thanks in advance for any help!

It seems the Seadoo 4 strokes are pretty specific on their oils. The 4-TEC supercharged motors cannot run synthetic oil, naturaly aspirated motors can run 4-TEC motors can run conventional or synthetic 10w40 oil, you could run other brands of oil as long as the ratings are comparable with the Seadoo oil. If your not comfortable using other oils, you can't go wrong with factory oil (except the price!)

I found this discription off a Seadoo website:

Recommended Engine Oils from BRP
In 2004 SEA-DOO introduced a new supercharger clutch utilizing ceramic washers on all 4-TEC Supercharged engines, which have specific oil requirements. All Supercharged 4-TECs with ceramic washers can not use Synthetic oil, as it will impair the proper operation of the clutch. As the different Rotax engines have different needs the following is a brief explanation of the oils recommended for each.
4-TEC Normally Aspirated (NA) engines:
Bombardier 4-stroke oil SAE 10-40 (P/N 219700346) or
Bombardier 4-stroke Synthetic Oil (P/N 293600039)

4-TEC Supercharged and Supercharged Intercooled Engines:
Bombardier 4-stroke oil SAE 10-40 (P/N 219700346).
Synthetic oil should not be used on these engines.

947 DI, 787 RFI & 947 Carburetor Equipped Engines
Bombardier XP-S Synthetic 2-stroke Oil (P/N 293600045).

All Other Carburetor Equipped Vehicles:
Bombardier XP-S Mineral 2-Stroke oil (413802900) or
Bombardier XP-S Synthetic Blend Oil (293600071) or
Bombardier XP-S Synthetic 2-stroke Oil (P/N 293600045).
