rzcolobanshee Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 100:1 here too, I use the 8oz bottles, just pour it into a 6 gallon jug and off you go, no more mixing cups! I had to run with no coolant for several miles last year, in rocky uphill terrain....seized? no. any loss of compression? no. Still runs great and I will never change oil.

Banshee0028 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Series 2000 50:1 Great stuff. I also use their crankcase oil and I love it too. Matt, which specific gear oil do you use for the tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 For Amsoil trans oil... The synthetic gear lubes and synthetic ATF's should all work great. Some of the 4 stroke engine oils would work too. Personally, I'd use the synth ATF. They are made for wet clutch applications, reduce transmission temps and are rated for severe use including Caterpillar and Allison. It ought to be able to handle a banshee Dealer/ preferred buyer cost is $5.90qt retail is $7.80. It only costs $10 to become a preferred customer for 6 months. You're best letting me know if you want to become an Amsoil preferred customer, buy one big order to last you a year and then do it again when you need more. You get all the perks of being a dealer without them breathing over your shoulder. For premix... I can't stress enough how happy I am with 100:1. It's super easy to mix {1 small bottle to 5 gallons is 80:1 and 1 bottle to 6 gallons is 100:1}. The bottle is only 8oz so it can be carried with you on the trail. I ride my banshee in all seasons, never change jetting and have not had even a hint of a problem at 80:1 riding HARD for hours in 15 degree weather. In my book that's impossible to beat.

Holyman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 That oil is not recommended for premix unless it says so on the bottle. In the dealer info I have it doesn't say to use it for premix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FORMULASPEED Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 On the back of the bottle it says (ams oil synthetic injector oil (aio) is recomended for summer and winter use and may also be used for pre-mix app at 50-1 mix ratios.Use amsoil wherever TC-W3 or API TC oils are specified. Ams oil synthetic injector oil is recommended for, but not limited to, use in outboard motors, snowmobile, motorcycles, atv andpersonal watercraft.) then has a 50-1 mix ratio graph. I was lookin for a pic of my container and that was the closest. But as long as it says premix use I can use it/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Then use up all the premix you've got in the banshee. Or better yet, drain it all out, take out the tank valve {while you have it emoty it's a good idea} clean off the screens that are inside the tank and then use your Amsoil. Should work just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpreuss Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 i need to switch from yamalube, how much will it run me to switch to amsoil? more or less then yamalube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Use the figures Playnsand gaveand the figure your Yamalube.The Amsoil is usually about the same price as Yamalube and You mix at higher ratios. So it's even cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
