Type of oil

[RUDY]

which oil is the best or do most of you guys use.....I've only had a Polaris so i used there oil.
I know that there is alot on the market but what to use?
Use the Cat oil or Amsoil

How much should a jug cost?And approx. how long should last in the sled?

My 97 XLT was a pig on old.Used 1 tank gas 1 tank oil

 

[bigdog67]

Amsoil thru and thru.Use it in everything I own.

 

[RUDY]

who sells Amsoil and how much?

Amsoil interceptor, run it in many sleds : 03 Cat 900, 04 Cat 700, couple 04 Doo 800's, works great

I think there's some for sale in the classifieds on this site, rknight is a dealer for Amsoil on here...

 

[snowseeker]

you can get the amsoil from Rknight here on the site. I have only used the Artic cat oil in my M1 with the power valves and have had no problem with anything.

 

[RUDY]

interceptor or the dominator,which one woul dbe better in the M7 efi.
What is the difference between the 2?

Thanks

i have mixed fellings on oil after last year! ran intercepter last winter untill the last trip when red deer was out of it so i bought dominator. bbbaahhh. $$$$$ motor job! i cant say for sure if it was the oil or not. but i will stick to cat oil from now on! plus its cheaper!

 

[RUDY]

i called te guy i did buy the sled from and he said he used the cat oil APV.
Now that i know i'm gonna stick with the same oil.Thanks for the input.

Burn Cat APV synthetic only. You can buy the Shell Sno Ultra Synthetic. It is the same stuff. I would'nt risk burning anything but. IMHO

I used to run cat oil... but then i met a guy that i could get ams oil interceptor for cheap... and i read up on it and i have heard that the ams oil interceptro is better than the cat apv oil... so instead of paying 50 bucks a jug for cat oil i spend 25 a jug for interceptor and i haven't had an issue at all. sometime this year i might pull my power valves and take a look and see if they are gummed up or clean... i will repost afterwards.

100 bucks for 4 4L jugs of interceptor($25/jug)... looks like its the other way around!

I'd also be interested in a case.

Have you bought Amsoil recently, i bought a case a few weeks back, and it has gone up a bit. Used to be $100 a case, unless they made a mistake.

 

[RUDY]

I just called Argyll and they told me $57 and Echo wants $60 a jug..OUCH....If you can get me a jug or 2 even a case down from Red Deer to Edm before Sat. i'll take them.

I have a case coming in right quick here... never checked the price this year... maybe it did go up, i'll let u know... as far as i know its still 100 bucks but i could easily be wrong... i've been wrong before, we'll see.
