Equipment manufacturers and motor builders have redesigned two-cycle motors to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy. These changes have increased operating temperatures, reduced oil consumption and incorporated direct fuel injection and exhaust power valves. AMSOIL 2-Cycle Oils are designed to maximize performance in all types of engine designs and are optimized for select
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. 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.
Racing:
- 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.
- Excellent for racing or modified motors. Very good for recreational use.
*Recommended for all direct fuel injected (DFI), electronic fuel injected (EFI) and carbureted motors. Outboard motors include Mercury® Optimax,® Johnson® & Evinrude® FICHT® & E-TEC,™ Yamaha® HPDI, Nissan® & Tohatsu® TLDI.®
