Modern snowmobile engines provide an unparalleled blend of elevated power, enhanced fuel efficiency and lowered emissions. To accomplish these improvements, original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are progressively embracing direct fuel injection, advanced computer programming, precise electronic oil injection and other enhancements that eventually elevate engine stress.
To overcome increased stress & internal heat, it is vital to use a two-stroke oil that offers excellent anti-wear and anti-deposit capabilities at extreme operating conditions. BRP, the manufacturers of modern snowmobile engines knows this and therefore have developed a high end XPS synthetic 2 cycle oil alongside their XPS petroleum 2 cycle oil. As you can see in the video above, BRP's XPS synthetic 2 cycle oil is a good product but at a higher price point. This is where it pays to look into other options like the AMSOIL Interceptor 2 cycle oil.
AMSOIL has been making high end synthetic 2 cycle oils for several decades, long before any other oil manufacturer in the world. When compared, AMSOIL Interceptor did outperform the XPS oil in certain key areas such as reduced scuffing and under-crown deposits. This slight advantage of performance can translate to longer lasting & cleaner running engine. But the real benefit is in the cost. AMSOIL Interceptor retails lower than BRP's XPS synthetic oil. If you setup an AMSOIL wholesale account the savings are much higher making it a smart switch.
Lower cost, yet better performance: To exhibit its performance in these rigorous operating conditions, AMSOIL subjected INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2 cycle oil to 50 hrs of intense engine testing in a Rotax® E-TEC® 800R engine found in a number of Ski-Doo® snowmobiles. This motor is capable of producing 163.9 hp and 7,900 rpm, the E-TEC 800R is amongst the most advanced and demanding power sports engines available on the market. Immediately after testing, the engine was taken apart and shipped to an ASTM-calibrated rater who analyzed the various components for wear, deposits and other distress. The results speak for themselves. INTERCEPTOR entirely eliminated piston skirt scuffing, ring sticking and exhaust-power-valve sticking. Merit ratings allotted to other critical engine components, such as the cylinders and wrist pins, are also high and ensure the superb protection provided by AMSOIL Interceptor synthetic 2 cycle oil.
INTERCEPTOR® is created specifically for reliability and durability in hard-ridden snowmobiles, dirt bikes, ATVs and PWCs. Powersports enthusiasts can now spend more time riding and less time performing maintenance.
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® is proven to keep power valves clean. This applies to all makes and models equipped with power valves. AMSOIL 2 stroke oils are engineered to be extremely clean burning by the use high quality synthetic base oils and additives containing low levels of sulphated ash. AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR®'s low-smoke, low-odour properties help ensure riders are not “smoked out.”
The only exception being the AMSOIL's DOMINATOR™ Synthetic 2-Cycle racing oil which is specifically formulated to offer maximum lubricity in racing application. Higher sulphated ash content in this oil is well suited for wide open throttle position riding conditions where excessive deposits are not a concern. AMSOIL does not recommend the use of DOMINATOR™ 2-Cycle racing oil for everyday trail use with stop and go riding conditions. AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® is the high performance product for all applications except racing.
INTERCEPTOR® is compatible with other two cycle oils, therefore mixing is not an issue. AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® also covers wide range of oil specifications making it suitable for use in all makes and models of gasoline powered two-stroke powersports equipments. This capability eliminates the requirement to stock multiple types of oil thus freeing up space and simplifies the confusion associated with using appropriate spec oil in respective equipment.
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® is now the Exclusive Snowmobile Recommended Oil.
To stay ahead of changes in the snowmobile industry and to streamline the shopping process for consumers, AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil is now the exclusive recommendation for two-stroke snowmobiles. Advanced snowmobile engine designs are demanding tailor-made properties from two-stroke oils. Numerous modern snowmobile engines, deliver a regulated quantity of oil at precise point in time to specific locations within the engine. Oils with exceptional pour points are ideally suited for this modern technology. Additionally, govt mandates lowered emissions. This coupled with elevated engine friction and heat call for oils with exceptional lubricity and clean-burning attributes.
INTERCEPTOR is developed with an ultra-low pour point (< -60°F) for outstanding performance in both older and modern snowmobile engines. Additionally, it offers superb cleanliness properties to avoid ring sticking and exhaust-power-valve sticking, making it the premium product recommendation for high-performance snowmobiles from Polaris®, Ski-Doo® (including the Rotax® E-TEC®), Arctic Cat® and other original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
