Hey all, since buying my rattler I've put in the full synthetic oil (two times) and yesterday in my absentmindedness I bought and put in the 570 er whatever synthetic mix. Is my scoot gonna be ok and is there anything special I can/should do? Thanks.

It will be fine.... assuming your mistake was dino/synth 2 stroke oil
Use a turkey baster to get out the wrong oil and replace it with the oil you were using.

as long as it is still 2 stroke oil you should be fine. just having that number doesnt tell me much about what it is. can you be more specific?
does oil impact MPG?

I had synthetic oil in the scoot when I bought it. I ran out after about 500 miles and looked high-n-low for synthetic oil around town. I couldn't find any so I got some Penzoil 2 stroke oil and added that to the tank. The scoot ran pretty good for a few days, then suddenly it started running a little rougher when it was cold and the MPG dropped from the upper 90's to the lower 80's.
Will normal 2-stroke oil have that impact, or is there something else going on?!

Weird
Only way to know for sure is to go back to synth. There are so many other factors it could be.
Do you have any snowmobile dealers near you? They are going to be your best source for 2 stroke oil.
