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 offer 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®
