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®
