How Do I Fill the 2-Cycle Oil in a 1980 Ski-Doo Citation?

BRP's (Bombardier Recreational Products) 1980 Ski-Doo Citation series snowmobiles that aren't oil injected need 2-cycle oil mixed in with the gasoline before the gasoline is added to the tank. Oil-injection models need Bombardier 50-to-1 snowmobile oil in the injection system oil tank. The correct oil/fuel mix is very important: the oil lubricates the engine and an incorrect mix will cause engine damage.

Things You'll Need

  • Room temperature Bombardier 50-to-1 snowmobile oil or 2-cycle oil

Instructions

  1. Oil-Injected Models

    • 1

      Open the oil injector oil cap of your Ski-Doo Citation snowmobile. You'll find the cap adjacent to the engine.

    • 2

      Pour Bombardier 50-to-1 snowmobile oil or 2-cycle oil into the tank until it is full.

    • 3

      Close the cap.

    Non-Oil-Injected Models

    • 4

      Pour 1 gallon of gasoline into a clean jerry can.

    • 5

      Mix in 12 oz. of oil. Replace the cap and shake thoroughly.

    • 6

      Open the cap and add the remaining 4 gallons of oil to make up your 50-to-1 ratio. Agitate the jerry can to mix and promptly add the fuel/oil mix to the gasoline tank on the 1980 Ski-Doo Citation series snowmobile.
