Re: XD-100 and full syntetic E/J oil

[Bob Wight]

Far as I know, every WalMart I’ve ever been in only carries the E/J mineral oil and synthetic blend products. Even at that, those oils are not the same blend as the genuine BRP XD-30 and XD-50 oils, but are bottled for mass market sales like WalMart. If there is now a synthetic E/J oil at WalMart, it is surely another "mass market" product and is NOT the same as XD-100. There is no way that the real XD-100 sells for $28/gallon. More like $40-$45 at most on-line sales outlets. I bought some bulk XD-100 last year at $34/gallon and haven’t seen it that low since. If your ETEC is programmed for XD-100, that’s the only oil I would use. I run it in my 2014 ETEC 150 and won’t use anything else.
