Sea-Doo has made an important update: the XPS 5W-40 semi-synthetic oil has been replaced by a full synthetic version. This is good news for everyone with a Rotax engine. In this blog we would like to explain why.
Why switch to fully synthetic oil?
Rotax engines are becoming more powerful with ever higher outputs. This new generation of engines requires better protection. The full synthetic XPS 5W-40 oil has been specially developed for this and performs better than the old semi-synthetic version.
What makes the new oil better?
-
More protection: Ideal for intensive use and extreme conditions.
-
Longer life: Less wear, so your engine lasts longer.
-
Reliable: Extensively tested and suitable for all Rotax applications.
Suitable for engines with superchargers?
Yes, this oil is perfectly matched to the requirements of supercharged engines such as the 1503 and the 1630 ACE. This oil is also very suitable for the 215hp engines, in contrast to tests with other oil formulas.
Can I mix the new oil with old oil?
Yes, the XPS 4-stroke oils can be mixed with each other. This is useful if you are topping up or have not removed all the old oil.
Why upgrade to fully synthetic?
Engines and lubricants continue to evolve. The new oil offers exactly what modern Rotax engines need: better performance, higher quality and longer life. If you have any questions after reading this blog post, we are always here to help!
