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
