So the answer to Question #2..... Where to buy? Do most snowmobile dealers in the area carry Polaris Oil? Do any big box stores carry it? I'd buy a case if I could get my hands on it and it was offered at a discount.

Again thanks for the info and trfour thanks for finding the link for me.
Polaris oil would most likely only be available at a Polaris dealer. Since Meredith Harley no longer sells Polaris, they may have some oil kicking around they want to get rid of. I have not seen OEM oil at any big box stores lately.

Also, I am inclined to disagree with Woodsy stating to always go with synthetic. I have a Sea Doo with power valves. Sea Doo in fact recommends the synthetic for that motor (951). I also have a Ski Doo with power valves. Ski Doo recommends straight mineral oil. So I use synthetic on the Sea Doo, and mineral on the Ski Doo.
