Pre-mix?


Recommended Posts

I run Amsoil HP Injector (which also says it can be run as a 50:1 pre-mix).  Now they call it HP Marine.  I know I know....."it says its marine oil."  Truth is i got turned on to it when i bought my sled from my friends parents.  its a 97 and now it has 8600 HARD miles......id say its a stretch if you say it saw less than 50% throttle for more than 10hrs of its life.  Its never been rebuilt, never had rings put on it, and never even been cracked open for inspection.  Nor does it foul plugs.  Every season, after it sitting for roughly 8 months, it never takes more than 4 pulls to get it to fire up.

Sometimes these machines are well built, and some times you get one that was made on a Friday, always keep that in mind

This is very true. However of the 7 sleds in our garage all running Amsoil HP.  We have an Arctic Cat that has over 10k miles on it as a "back-up" sled that was opened up once as a "might as well" style check up after the jack-shaft broke.  Only thing its seen was also Amsoil.  

 

While there is the "last one on the line of friday" variable to consider.......i still look at the combined milage (which is over 30k miles) with no rebuilds.  Im not saying its "the best" or that its better than another......but with those first hand results......im going to continue running it without questioning it.

exactly.  I knew Amsoil was a quality oil.....but after seeing that it goes into all of our sleds and that my uncle uses it in his exotic cars.....I trust it.  Shit the cost of my banshee motor as it sits right now.....MIGHT buy me a gas pedal off of one of his cars.  So if he's willing to protect his cars with Amsoil.....it'll more than likely be overkill for my 2stroke banshee motor.  But its peace of mind for me.
