Canada Aug 6, 2018 #4 I've been running the regular Shell Advance in my son's 95 XLT for years now (was my sled before) No power valves or anything of the like, just oil injected and carbed. No issues to date and still runs like a top. If it were a more modern sled with power valves and the like, then most likely I would be using the syn blend as well. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shell-advance-snowmobile-oil-5l-0281797p.html
