Default The right oil??

When I picked up the Trailblazer they filled the oil tank with VESII. Is this the right oil?? I thought I heard somewhere that you shouldn't break a 2-stroke in on synthetic???? Also what type of oil should I run in the Pred90?? thanks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

If it's brand new, they probably put pre-mix in the first tank of gas. Whether of not you can break in on synthetic is still open for debate. Although it's often misunderstood, synthetic isn't actually "more slippery" than petro oil so it really shouldn't make any difference.

No they didn't put oil in the first tank. Should I add some or is it too late??

you don't have to worry about it, if its an oil injection system, it will be fine...but i would fill it with the correct recommended oil while it is under warranty.....

as far as break-in on new motors, all the new polaris 4-stroke models comes with full synthetic from the factory....

Thanks 95sport400 and Elkbow, I'll sleep a little easier tonite. I'm just learning about these machines and it makes it easier when great people that are on this forum answer your questions. A few months ago I had never even ridden an ATV and now I own four of them, thanks jayri!!!!!!!!!
