I will go away and let you have this forum all to yourself. Later! Frank

"I wouldnt use amsoil for my weedeater it flat out SUCKS buy some Klotz or Caster 927 leave the snake oil for the diehard IDIOTS "
I liked Klotz oil also for two strokes but once I switched to Amsoil dominator mixed at 50 to 1 I stoped fouling plugs on my 86 honda 250r. Not to mention it ran much better. I mixed klotz at 32 to 1. each to its own though, as long as your happy with it and nothing breaks "who cares!"

Bear this is where I am coming from when I made my statement about Amsoil.
Actually Lt. Col. Albert J. Amatuzio using his experience with the first jet plane synthetic oil formulated a 100% synthetic motor oil.
Jack Arotta, a Duluth Minnesota businessman was the first guy to put it in a brand new car, a 1966 Ford Station Wagon.
Actually, for more than a year Jack had been putting a variety of Al's synthetic formulations in his previous cars, so he did not feel that he was putting his vehicle at serious risk. After several more years of fine tuning his formulation, AMZOIL (Amatuzio-oil) was created and became the first 100% synthetic diester based engine oil to pass the API sequence tests and receive API qualification in 1972.
The following year Mobil Oil began marketing the first PAO based engine oil overseas and in 1975 they began test marketing a synthetic PAO based synthetic in the U.S. called Mobil 1.
Now I am not an Amsoil dealer but do highly recommend it along with Mobil 1, Rotella, Redline, etc. Later! Frank

No championships in my resume but I have burned my share of snowmobile pistons. Usually as the result of running things too lean. We tried every brand of oil on the market back then. The absolute best we used was the Rabbit oil. It was clean. Didn't foul plugs as I remember. I think it was a 50 to 1. synthetic. I am not sure what after market oil is. I am pretty sure none of the ATV manufactures make oil. I would be surprised to learn that any of them have a chemical engineer on the payroll. They possible my have an oil designed just for them. I do know they all over price their oil. I will be running someone's synthetic in my new machine as soon as I rack up a few more hours. Later! Frank
