AMSOIL 2-Cycle Motor Oils
New AMSOIL "Fabulous Four" 2-Cycle Oils provide
second-to-none protection and performance in modern two-cycle
equipment.
Two-cycle
engines remain the workhorses in recreational equipment, including
outboard motors, motorcycles, snowmobiles and personal watercraft,
as well as in lawn and garden applications like lawn mowers and
weed eaters. Design changes over recent years have included direct
fuel injection engines, in which fuel is injected directly into
the combustion chamber, and exhaust power valves, which improve
combustion efficiency at varying RPM. These design changes have
allowed two-cycle engine manufacturers to effectively reduce emissions,
improve fuel efficiency and decrease oil consumption. Today's
two-cycle motors of all types require specialized oil technology
to deliver maximum engine protection, dependable operation and
long service life
As the leader in two-cycle oil technology,
AMSOIL has performed extensive research in developing a new line
of revolutionary, specialized oils called the "Fabulous Four."
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Synthetic
2-Cycle Oil (AIT) was the first new oil to be introduced. It is
primarily recommended as an injector oil or at a 50:1 mix ratio
in carbureted, electronic fuel injected (EFI) and direct fuel
injected (DFI) snowmobiles, personal watercraft, motorcycles and
ATV's. Formulated with wax-free premium quality synthetic esters
and a specialized additive package, INTERCEPTOR is designed to
address the exhaust valve sticking problems associated with certain
snowmobile models.
New AMSOIL HP
Injector Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil (HPI), DOMINATOR
Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil (TDR) and Saber
Professional (ATP) and Outboard
(ATO) Synthetic 100:1 Pre-Mix 2-Cycle Oils complete the Fabulous
Four lineup, replacing AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Cycle Injector Oil,
Series 2000 Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil and 100:1 Pre-Mix Synthetic
2-Cycle Oil, respectively. The application chart below ranks each
oil's performance in common two-cycle applications.

Even though AMSOIL 2-Cycle Oils have
been optimized for specific applications, they are multi-functional
and recommended for use in many areas. The chart rates each oil's
performance abilities per application as follows:
Excellent: "The"
primary recommendation for the oil. This is the best possible
choice for the application. The oil is specifically designed for
the operating conditions of the motors in these markets. There
is only one "Excellent" recommendation per category.
Very Good: A
main recommendation for the oil. Identifies an oil that is very
good for the operating conditions of these motors.
Good: A secondary
recommendation for an oil. The oil was not specifically designed
for these applications, however, the chemistry in the oil is suited
to the operating conditions of these motors.
Not Recommended:
Identifies applications where the product was not intended for
use. "Excellent" rated products otter superior performance.
Racing:
(1) Not recommended for long-term use in outboard
motors as a TC-W3 type oil, although excellent as a race oil
for short term use where motors are periodically inspected.
(2) Excellent for racing or modified motors.
Very good for recreational use.
*Recommended for all (OFI) direct fuel injected,
(EFI) electronic fuel injected, and carbureted motors. Outboard
motors include Mercury®, Optimax®, Johnson® & Evinrude® FICHT®
& E-TEC®, Yamaha® HPDI, Nissan® & Tohatsu® TLDI®
