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®
