What oil is everyone Running?
Re: What oil is everyone Running?
Brian how is that oil? I was goin to run it but was a little warry cause it said it was for sleds with exhaust valves. I wasn't sure if it was something special.

Amsoil synthetic Interceptor or Dominator in all my sleds: pre-mix vintage and late model Cat Sno Pro's, also injected vintage and modern trail sleds.
I run the highest octane fuel I can. If it has ethanol, I check the plugs and see if I need to pick up the needles a click or jet up one size. In that light, I also use that crazy expensive tygon fuel line that ethanol does not eat like the blue stuff.

Re: What oil is everyone Running?
I was lucky enough to get a big box full of "Jonsered" 2-cycle engine oil from my chainsaw dealer. At a good price. I use it in my chainsaw, weed trimmer, tiller, & snowmobile.

Re: What oil is everyone Running?
Be careful of chainsaw/weedwacker oil. It is actually a different type of 2 stroke oil. Most snowmobile oils are a TC-W3 oil. The chainsaw oils are a TC type.friendlyfarmeria wrote:I was lucky enough to get a big box full of "Jonsered" 2-cycle engine oil from my chainsaw dealer. At a good price.

Re: What oil is everyone Running?
Amsoil Interceptor and the highest octane gas I can get usually ends up being 93. Really pleased with it through 2 seasons of using this combination.

Re: What oil is everyone Running?
