I've been running legend zx2sr in everything since 2012....including the 850's since 2019. ZERO issues and it is a highly refined mineral oil....which I think does a better job burning and for summer or off use protection on internals. Some may agree or not....don't matter to me. Warranty has been no issues using it.

As most have said before....run whatever makes you happy price wise, availability wise, or lets you sleep at night wise.
 
I lucked into a deal this fall,, a local guy was selling off some stock of full synthetic 2 stroke oil for $3 a liter. Been using it in my sled that's off warranty. It's blue and seems very similar to shell snow ultra

As long as they can't deny any potential warranty claim I'm either going to continue to buy XPS oil put into unmarked jugs or buy amsoil interceptor directectly from the company. Both options are around $15-18 less per gallon than VES extreme.
 
7 gallons (burned this winter) x $18 = $126
Not a ton but makes a difference when you're already paying a ton for oil
I guess that's my point. $126 over the course of a season doesn't seem like enough to even think about. Not trying to sound like a rich snob but that's a couple rounds of drinks at the end of the day.
 
How much money does everyone think they would save if they went the budget route on oil?
You can do this on everything part of the sport. You can what’s a little bit more on tons if things.

Everyone has different limits. Be it actual or mental.

Also, there are many peeps that have 3-5 sleds to feed. I ride alot with one family of 4 active riders and one with 5. Mine was just 3 and that ouched at times.
