All oils are not created equal. For those worried about acid build-up due to extended oil changes, there are oils available that will control that acid build-up better then others. There is a quality to premium full synthetic oils called TBN or Total Base Number, do some research on it...

Also I forgot-it would be different if your sled had a wet-sump as your crank has to cut through the oil but in the dry-sump system on the sleds it doesn't. Protection-protection-protectoin is the name of the game. What good is an extra .5-1.0 MPH if your engine siezes from lack of...

No. that oil is not engineered for your engine and visa-versa. as for trying to squeek every little bit of MPH out of your sled by using lighter oils. all I have to say about that is it is your hard earned money you are playing with. You really have to ask yourself if it is really worth...

i don't think you will notice any difference between the two. maby a 1/10 of a mph if anything. I was able to do 113.6 (measured on a gps) on my vector using the amsoil 0w-40 which as far as I know is about as fast as they vectors go anyway. I think your skis and carbides will have a bigger...

No Amsoil only has the 0w-40 powersports oil, but does also have 10w-30 oils for powersports applcations. just curious, why do your want a 30 wieght oil so bad?

The current API ratings of SE,SF,and SG are all obsolete AUTOMOBILE engine oil ratings. You will have a hard time finding an oil with those ratings on them out side of a motorcycle shop as some motorcycle oils are still rated as SF/SG. Unless specified by the manufacture DONOT use any oil...

you run the risk of washing the oil film off your cylinder walls if you have too high of an alcohol concetration. DO NOT use any product containing alcohol if you are running e-10. For stabilization there are products out there that contain no alcohol (amsoil gasoline stabilizer is one)...

Yamaha CANNOT i repeat CANNOT deny warrantee coverage due to what brand of oil you are using. They can deny it if you use an oil with out the correct rating. That is why you cannot use SIGNATURE SIERIES in your sled. There is more to oil then just viscosity. AMSOIL 0w-40 powersports oil...

Utica Club. Once very popular around central NY but now hard to find more then 50 miles from the brewery. It was the first beer released after the fall of prohibition. I bought some for my Dad and I to share one day and he was surprised as he hadn't had it in over 40 years. I also like...

just because a oil says FULL SYNTHETIC on the label doesn't mean it is any good. Here is a link to a study that AMSOIL published. Before some of you say it is all a publicity stunt, let it be known that it is a blind study performed by an independent lab, check out page 26 of the report...

why mess with copy-cat oils, use the first and still the best full synthetic AMSOIL.

yes. The filter and another drain for the crank case is located behind a removeable plate on the bottom of the belly pan. Good luck.

If you had your carb apart did you replace the little rubber float needle seat? If it is worn or missing the motor will run fine for a few minutes then flood itself out. It is a VERY commenly overlooked part on these carbs because most DIYer's don't know it is in there and is very small. I...

You guys need to talk with sleddheadd. I get 4 quarts Amsoil 0w-40 powersports oil and a wix filter I get from Amsoil for my rs vector and including shipping AND NYS sales tax of 8% it cost me $49.68 US.

Add alittle DAWN dishwashing detergent to the water and soak your paper in it. It works wonders.

Amsoil does offer a 0w-30 but it is mainly an automobile oil (amsoil signature series) I use it in my jeep, it has a 35,000 drain intervile. Amsoil's Powersports oil spacificly made for snowmachines and fourwheelers is a 0w-40, check out Sleddheadd's website. Amsoil offer an oil specially...

I used to only use Klotz Chain case lube, VERY tenatious stuff, it is also loaded with graphite, in my old sled and was happy with it, but I do use Amsoil stuff now in my vector. OH- Amsoil Powersports oil is 0w-40, not 0w-30. I use that too. Use amsoil in everything I own-from my...

My sled didn't cost me a dime this season. Changing the oil this spring and that is about the extent of maintenence costs.

I use Amsoil's Gasoline Stabilizer (no alcohol in it), also add a shot of Amsoil's PI run it to get it through the system, I prefer to change my oil in the spring before storage, but Using any high quality synthetic oil like Amsoil's Powersports 0w-40 will usally have a high TBN and neutralize...

check with you friendly Arctic Cat dealer, they used to have one that was excatly the same but was AC branded.
