Price comparison of Amsoil Interceptor to Snowmobile OEM

Two-stroke powersports equipment is meant to be ridden hard. Repeatedly pushing a machine to wide-open throttle during all-day, aggressive riding, however, takes its toll on the engine.
INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil is specifically designed for reliability and longevity in hard-ridden snowmobiles, dirt bikes, ATVs and PWCs, helping enthusiasts spend more time riding and less performing maintenance. Its low-smoke, low-odor properties help ensure riders won’t be “smoked out.”
INTERCEPTOR is compatible with nearly all other two-stroke oils and is recommended for most makes and models of two-stroke powersports equipment, eliminating the need to purchase and store multiple types of oil. It’s an oil engineered to be pushed as hard as the equipment it protects.

Anti-Scuff/Anti-Wear

Two-stroke powersports engines have evolved to run on leaner gas-to-oil mixtures, increasing harmful friction and heat. INTERCEPTOR’s synthetic formulation incorporates high-molecular-weight components with high flash points that resist burn-off. As a result, a greater amount of oil survives the combustion process to provide lubrication and protection. Its excellent lubricity and film strength inhibit metal-to-metal contact. In extreme dynamometer testing, INTERCEPTOR’s anti-scuff/anti-wear formula completely prevented piston skirt scuffing.

Excellent Deposit Control

INTERCEPTOR naturally resists harmful deposits due to its thermally stable synthetic formulation. It is additionally fortified with high-temperature detergency and dispersancy additives that provide excellent engine cleanliness. In extreme dynamometer testing, INTERCEPTOR completely prevented piston ring and exhaust power valve sticking for maximum performance. It also severely limited piston, combustion chamber and spark plug deposits for reliable operation.

 

Proven in Extreme Dynamometer Test on Rotax® E-TEC® Engine

INTERCEPTOR was installed in a 2012 BRP® Ski-Doo® Renegade X snowmobile equipped with a Rotax E-TEC 800R engine. Following 50 hours of severe-duty engine dynamometer testing designed to simulate a full season of real-world conditions, the engine was disassembled and rated for deposits, wear and other distress by an ASTM calibrated rater. Each component earned a merit rating on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 10 representing no distress) or a percentage rating (with 0 percent representing no distress). Results prove INTERCEPTOR excelled at inhibiting deposits and wear. Complete report right below.

Amsoil Interceptor vs BRP XPS-2 Synthetic

Nov 2012: Amsoil Interceptor vs BRP XPS-2 Synthetic comparison test. This is a good read, the take away from this is to know that with knowledge you indeed have a choice... you can choose to pay more for BRP XPS-2 Synthetic and receive lower performance or you can choose to use Amsoil Interceptor, receive higher performance and save some cash.

Does XPS-2 smell bad? With Amsoil Interceptor that awful smell is gone!

Warranty? Using another oil other than OEM labelled oil has no impact on warranty, unless the oil itself caused the problem, which makes sense right? Use Amsoil and you get Amsoil warranty, whether your sled is covered by OEM warranty or not.

 

Interceptor vs BRP XPS-2 Synthetic

Video Script: - To document the performance of Amsoil Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke oil in Rotax E-TEC engines, Amsoil Interceptor was compared to XPS-2 synthetic 2-cycle oil in extreme dynamometer testing.

XPS-2 2-cycle oil was installed in a 2012 Ski-Doo Renegade X snowmobile equipped with a Rotax E-TEC 800R engine. The snowmobile was run for 50 hours attached to a computer operated engine dynamometer, sufficient time to replicate an entire riding season, operating conditions included idle time, partial throttle operation and full throttle operation.

To simulate aggressive riding the snowmobile was pushed to it's maximum rpm repeatadly. Variables including fuel quality, coolant mix ratio, rpm and engine load were controlled through-out.

Following the test the engine was disassembled and reassembled with new BRP authorized parts. The 50 hour procedure was repeated using Amsoil Interceptor.
