A by product of low sulfur diesel is that due to its low lubricity and hence causing problems with some old diesels you have to buy a new tier2, 3, 4 one so hence you have helped the environment......
I'm sure thats what any government would say??
Or
Buy your diesel in the third world as that where all the old out of spec fuel seems to be these days.
Either shipped there or made in refinerys that cant remove the sulfur

reminds me of time I rebuilt Kawasaki H-1 two stroke

'cafe racer' with oil injection.

I was afraid of killing the motor again(ran out of oil) so I started it for first time(begining of 60 mile trip...I had faith) with a very rich premix.

I couldn't see the cars behind me due to massive smoke screen.

I hear it made the local traffic new reports.

Jesting aside, rotax loopers were not made to run on lawn mower oil. Yee'd best adher to XD 100 at any cost. And if you want to pay more, try Red Line, has a nice slight odor of castor oil in my OMC 75.

As I dont know very much about this engine I will anyway make an input that if you have rubberbushings the four stroke oil may eat them up.
Chears!

In response to the question, "CAN I USE 4-STROKE OIL TO BURN IN A 2-STROKE SEA-DOO?, the answer is yes. Of course you can. You can also burn baby oil, linseed oil, suntan oil, and whale oil if you can get it.

But I think the best and least expensive oil is the type that SEA DOO recommends.
