Here is my personal opnion, I would not run any type of automotive oil in a high reving motorcycle (snowmobile) engine. Automotive oils are not designed for continuous high reving engines. Synthetic or conventional
Just my thought,

FWIW, the owner's manual specifies API rating "SG". The service manual also specifies SG and adds not to exceed API rating CD. Confused? I am. SG is a 1989 rating and has been superceded. CD is applicable to diesel engines. At least that's what it says here.

As long as I'm on warranty and repairs are on their dime it's getting Yamalube and getting changed at the dealer so they have a record of it. It is hard to find trouble if you don't look for it. my $.02. After that I may look into Klotz 4 stroke oil, Klotz is all I have ever run in my 2 strokers and has treated me well.

Mobile 1 fully sny 0-30 is a fine oil for your snomo so is Amsoil. M1 is available at Walmart & I use in my trucks as well so well stocked. I'm running comparison to last year using Yam blend in Attack. So far picked up 1 MPG running hard using M1. Same thing in my trucks. Need more miles on M1 to see if 1 MPG gain is real.

I run 5w30 Opti Oil in both my Phazers, my 2 lawnmowers, my snow thrower, my 2002 Dodge Ram, my 2004 Chevy trailblazer, and anything else that uses oil, it has the highest JSO ratings out there. Their oil is so good they will double your engine warranty.
