I have a 2001 scrambler 400, and I'm wondering, which oil I should use, for pretty hard riding. My local wal-mart carries a penzoil premium 100% synthetic TC-W3 2-cycle oil that says It's for oil injection systems. Wal-mart also carries a bombardier rotax two-stroke injection safe oil, They are both about $5 a quart. I'm tired of paying $10 a quart for polaris premium synthetic gold. Whats your opinion?

 

10$ a quart? holy cow i only gave 27 for a gallon at my dealer when i used the injection.i think u are getting ripped dude.amsoil makes a injection oil which i think is best on the market.HpD sells it for 6.25qt or 72.00 for a case.i would suggest ditching injection and going to premix if u ride it hard get the amsoil its 100 to 1 mix and u can get it from Hpd also at 42.00 a case will mix about 65 gallons .

 

i have used wal mart pennzoil syn in my 96 400 xplorer for 3500 miles and i have only changed one plug in all that time.the engine run fine does not smoke and i run the same oil in my wifes trail blazer and even thought she does not ride hard it still has the same plug since 97

 

Amsoil Injector oil all the way. I liked the Polaris Gold but Amsoil is better. I wouldn't go cheap on the oil with a 2 stroke. This is the ONLY lubrication you have.

But I would pull the injector gadgets off and mix Amsoil Pre-Mix 100:1. I put 1 bottle per 5 galloans and that makes it approx. 80:1. This stuff is the BEST.

I have a lawn mowing biz and I have ran this at 100:1 mix (not 80:1) for all my equipment for 15 years. Never a failure. I keep my stuff a long time too. I rarely replace or buy new equipment.

In fact when I switched from the oil injection to the Amsoil Pre-Mix 100:1 (mixing it at 80:1) I noticed a decent performance gain. This gain includes from cold starts to wide open. All the way thru the power band. It feels like I added fuel injection. It is that clean burning. There is no jet changing either.

Call Rick Ritter and get the oil block off kick and throttle cable. Buy 2 five gallon cans to keep gas and enjoy it.

Not to start any disagreements, but Darrell and Mike both at HPD Racing do not like the 2000 Racing oil. They HIGHLY recommend the 100:1 Pre-Mix mixed at 80:1. They tried the 2000 Race Oil (50:1) and were dis-satisfied.

Give 'em a call today and talk to them for more info.

Okay guys, first of all, Removing my injector is outta the question. I just bought a 2 year extended warrantee for my scrambler, and that would void the warantee. I've already had a tranny full rebuild that was over 600 dollars, and covered by my 24 month warante that only costed $425. Thanks for the idea though.
