Hi I'm just wondering how much oil to add to each tank of fuel? I was told buy a couple guys that they do this and it's a good idea, I figure adding a bit can't harm anything.

Also, what's a good point to run a ratchet strap on the rear of the machine? I just went through the aluminum cut outs on the skid? (In between the track)

"Track Bars" came with my Marathon Sled Deck. They work well, prevent lateral movement and vertical movement.

0.5 oz/gal of oil in tank on standard sleds; 1 oz/gal for heavily modded sleds and turbos, per 3 of the best Polaris mod shops going...

Have FUN!

Thank you.

So if I converted that correctly, 75ml per 20litres of fuel for us Canadians.

I usually put 200ml in a full tank; so at 75ml per 20litres, that's pretty close... I've been doing this since day 1 on my 12 Pro, it's ran flawless!!

If your breaking in a new sled, or new top end, I'd say 200:1(7 oz.). After that I run around 350:1(4 oz.) per tank.

I dump 5 oz of a degummed castor blended 50/50 with a TCW2 oil into each fuel tank. Never had an issue with oil-fuel separation and will check powervalves at end of season to see how well they are handling the sticky castor. I'm hoping that the castor will cost the pistons and cylinders and give my ride a longer lifespan

ALso add a little blended 2 stroke oil in my diesels to prolong the high pressure fuel pump longevity, my 3300 watt sine-wave generator that gets run 8-10 hours a day 7-10 days sraight while camping. Its a cheap chinese generator but has gotten 4 years of use andstill has like new compression. Add it to just about everything but my breakfast cereal.
