im supposed to run apv oil in my sleds but its spendy, can i switch to amsoil or another brand, or does anyone else supposed to run the same but have run other brands and worked out for you, thanks

yeah, you can use other oils. amsoil seems real popular...

Are you going to go full synthetic, synthetic blend, or dino oil?

I use Amsoil Interceptor for both my FireCats (with APV's). No issues so far, plus my brother is getting it for me for about $20/gal when I buy a case (4).

i dont know about the full synthetic, im just trying to find a cheaper equal to apv oil. anyone ever heard of blue marble brand oil?

CHeck out the Snow Tech article on it. It toasted 2 Polaris engines. Go with Ski Doo synthetic blend if it's cheaper. It was the #1 rated blend.

i dunno, the skidoo stuff is pretty pricey

BigGMC01 · 10-26-2006, 07:37 PM

what toasted 2 polaris engines? and indian i checked on the interceptor by amsoil and i can get it wholesale for about 22 bucks a gallon delivered to my house, small engine guy you got any opinions on amsoil???

**smallengineguy** · 10-26-2006, 07:59 PM

Blue Marble toasted two engines...Amsoil Interceptor is great stuff.

I might have to try the Amsoil Intersepter myself.I've never heard of it .But if IRS and SEG say its good .I'm gonna look into it!

**smallengineguy** · 10-27-2006, 07:33 AM

For full synthetic, I love Klotz Techniplate. Keeps my RAVE's spotless.

I just grabbed a gallon of interceptor by amsoil as well when I was in the city. Every dealer I spoke to highly recommended it, I run only amsoil in my truck with awesome results too so I figured I'd hop on the wagon, I highly doubt I'll be disapointed

i dont know if this is against the rules or not but i found a website that you can buy this at wholesale. the average price is over 31.00 a gallon and you can get this interceptor amsoil for 95.60 a case (4gallons) including shipping, thats about 23.50 a gallon, there is a 1-800 # at the bottom of that website, the guys name is gene, i think you have to order 2 cases for him to set you up as a preffered customer to get that price but maybe you can just order 1. the site is (AMSOIL DIRECT JOBBER WAREHOUSE - Independent AMSOIL Dealer, LA GRANDE, OREGON)
