AMSOIL Leads The Way In Two-Cycle Oil

AMSOIL’s “Fabulous Four” 2-Cycle Oils Provide Second-to-None Protection and Performance
in Modern Two-Cycle Equipment

2-cycle engines remain the workhorses in recreational equipment, including outboard motors, motorcycles, snowmobiles and the marine engines of personal watercraft, as well as in lawn and garden equipment like lawn mowers and weed eaters. With that in mind, it’s crucial to keep them in reliable working order, strive for maximum engine performance, and help reduce the risk of engine failures. 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 engine combustion efficiency at varying RPM. These design changes have allowed two-cycle engine manufacturers to effectively reduce emissions, improve fuel efficiency and decrease synthetic oil consumption. Today’s 2-stroke motors of all types require specialized synthetic oil technology to deliver superior protection for internal engine components, dependable operation and long engine life.

As the leader in two-cycle synthetic 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 improve engine cleanliness and address the exhaust valve sticking problems associated with certain snowmobile models.

High Performance Specialty Products and Fuel Additives

AMSOIL Quickshot

The premium fuel additive to thoroughly clean and restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. Degraded fuel presents a major maintenance issue in small engines and powersports equipment. AMSOIL Quickshot’s revolutionary technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing small engines and powersports equipment: ethanol, water and dirty pump gas. They can form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle response. Fuel-related problems are only expected to intensify in the coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to increase. AMSOIL Quickshot also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods.

Product Code: AQS

AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer

Fights fuel deterioration! Gasoline is not formulated for long-term storage and can start to degrade in as little as 60 days, leading to varnish and sludge deposits that clog injectors, fuel lines and carburetors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance, starting problems, increased maintenance expenses and decreased equipment life. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer is suitable for gasoline or diesel fuel, and keeps fuel from deteriorating during storage allowing easier start-ups. It resists the formation of varnish and gum in fuel systems and storage tanks. Ideal for all two- and four-cycle engines, including motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, ATVs, edgers, tillers, mowers, cars, trucks, snow blowers, chain saws, generators, farm and construction equipment. Mixes 1 oz. to 2.5 gallons of fuel.

AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil

Two- and four-stroke recreational vehicles, hand held power equipment, small engines, construction and farm equipment are commonly operated seasonally or infrequently, then stored for long periods of time. During these periods of inactivity, and as a result of fluctuations in ambient temperatures, water vapor can form condensate within the engine. Long periods of storage can also dry out cylinders, often resulting in permanent damage when the equipment is taken out of storage and dry started. AMSOIL Engine Fogging Oil offers superior film retention, providing long-term protection against corrosion and dry starts, extending engine life and reducing operating expenses. Its aerosol spray formulation offers easy and clean applications, while reaching more components and offering better distribution than straight motor oil. AMSOIL Fogging Oil protects all equipment during the off-season so it runs when you need it!
