Ski-Doo XPS-2 Synthetic 2 cycle Oil

Amsoil subjected Ski-Doo XPS-2 Synthetic 2 cycle Oil and Interceptor 2 stroke oil to severe engine testing using the Ski Doo Rotax E-TEC 800R snow machine. Amsoil preformed as well or BETTER than Ski-Doo's premium OEM branded Ski-Doo XPS-2 Synthetic 2 cycle Oil.

Amsoil synthetic 2 cycle and 4 stroke oils provide excellent performance in all makes of sleds, including today's high performance machines. Although Ski-Doo claims only the more expensive XPS 2 Synthetic 2 cycle oil provides the required protection, Interceptor prevented scuffing and exhaust powervalve sticking following 50 hours of testing with the engine at maximum output. It performed as well as and in many cases BETTER than Ski-Doo's premium OEM branded oil. With Interceptors exceptional performance you can be assured Interceptor meets the demands of what ever sled you own.

Overview
Since purchasing his 2011 Ski-Doo® TNT snow machine new in December 2010,
Jerry Springer of Ft. Wayne, Ind. has used AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic
2-Stroke Oil exclusively. The snow machine's Rotax® E-TEC® 800R engine uses
targeted oil-injection technology that delivers a smaller amount of oil at exact
times to specific locations in the engine. Because it uses a leaner gas-to-oil
mixture than other engines, robust oils with increased lubricity and cleanliness
properties are recommended. Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP®), the
manufacturer of Ski-Doo snow machine's, leads consumers to believe that only its
more-expensive XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil is capable of providing the required
level of protection. In fact, the snowmobile arrived from the factory with an attached notice recommending XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil exclusively. Personnel
at the Ski-Doo dealership also notified Springer that BRP strongly recommends
only its own oil be used. Springer, however, chose to use AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR
Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil. “I have used AMSOIL for years with no issues,” he
said. “The snowmobile has not experienced one whisper of a problem.”

Riding Conditions
Approximately 95 percent of the snow machine’s miles are accumulated on groomed trails throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The remainder are accumulated in off-trail riding. High-speed, high-rpm driving is common, with frequent speeds of 50-80 mph. When conditions allow, Springer operates the snow machine at speeds of 85-100+ mph. Trail rides routinely span 150-200 miles per day.
Maintenance Practices
Following each ride, the snowmobile is thoroughly washed and blown/wiped dry. A visual inspection is performed to verify overall mechanical integrity. The chaincase oil and motor oil reservoirs are checked and filled as needed. Depending on mileage, the primary clutch is removed, cleaned and inspected. All suspension components are greased as needed.

Recall Notice
In the fall of 2011, Ski-Doo recalled several of its snow machine, including the model owned by Springer, due to potential failure of the piston ring locating pins that prevent the rings from rotating. The recall required replacement of both pistons, providing the opportunity to determine whether or not INTERCEPTOR provided the level of protection required by the Rotax E-TEC engine.
With 3,469 miles on the snowmobile, an authorized Ski-Doo dealer replaced both pistons as stipulated in the recall notice. The pistons exhibited no scuffing. “The mechanic said the pistons looked brand new,” said Springer. For additional confirmation, the pistons and rings were rated for scuffing, sticking and other distress by an independent ASTM-calibrated rater using the appropriate techniques and rating scales as defined in the Coordinating Research Council, Inc. Deposit Rating Manual No. 20. Components were assigned either a merit rating on a scale of 0-10, with 10 representing no distress, or a percentage rating, with 0.00 percent
representing no distress.

Many snowmobile & snow machine manufacturers want you to think you have to buy their oil, which isnt even manufactured by them, often at a higher price. In a free country, nobody wants to be told what to buy, and federal law protects you. You can chose whom evers oil you want to use in your ride!!
AMSOIL supports your freedom to choose the oil you think is best for your machine. AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR™ is Warranty secure, meaning it won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty.
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR™ oil is recommended for Polaris®, Arctic Cat® and Ski-Doo® snow machine's.

Scratching, which is not lubricant-related, refers to the alteration of the skirt surface by fine particles suspended in the lubricant, fuel, air or embedded in a surface. Scuffing, which is lubricant-related, appears as a matte finish. INTERCEPTOR completely prevented piston skirt scuffing, demonstrating excellent lubricity.

INTERCEPTOR effectively protected the pistons from wear and limited removal of the piston coating.
The piston rings earned perfect merit ratings of 10 and showed no signs of sticking, confirming the lubricant’s strong cleanliness properties.

Results
To protect against preignition and poor performance, two-stroke oils must resist piston crown deposits caused by the elevated temperatures inside the combustion chamber. INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil excelled at limiting deposit formation, with piston crowns earning high ratings.

Conclusion
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil meets or exceeds the increased performance needs of Rotax E-TEC engines. In demanding, real-world conditions, the lubricant completely prevented piston skirt scuffing
and ring sticking. The results can be extrapolated to conclude the wear protection and deposit control extends to Polaris®, Arctic Cat® and other makes and models of two-stroke snowmobile engines as well.

This case study also provides in-field confirmation of the results published in A Study of INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil for Ski-Doo® Rotax® E-TEC® Engines (G3039), in which INTERCEPTOR prevented piston skirt scuffing and piston ring sticking in a Rotax E-TEC 800R engine operated under extreme conditions for 50 hours (sufficient time to replicate an entire riding season).

INTERCEPTOR is Warranty Secure®, keeping your factory warranty intact. INTERCEPTOR is a high performance replacement for BRP’s more-expensive XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil and is backed by the
AMSOIL Limited Warranty (G1363).
