1996 XP 800-
went to the dealership to check on oil and was told i HAD to run the synthetic xp-s (yellow jug) that is $46.99 a gallon. i was then told a bit later by an ex-mechanic that i could run the xp-s mineral oil (white jug) that my buddy runs in his 95 Xp 720.
is it ok to run the white jug instead of the full synthetic? thanks

It is illegal for the dealership to tell you what oil you have to run. You can run any oil you want As long as the oil specs match what is suggested for the vehicle. BUT your 96 Seadoo XP no longer has a warranty so you can really run any oil you want to run. Everyone will have a different opinion about oils. I personally use Dumonde Tech. Mike
