mr670 12-11-2001, 11:24 AM Amsoil 100/1, works good low smoke, easy on spark plugs.
FishHog 12-11-2001, 12:59 PM Amsoil, but I'm going to try Klotz if I can ever find some for sale. *I hear it smells very nice.

Mr Siv 12-11-2001, 03:20 PM we use amsoil, but we're tryin this new stuff called blue marbol.. its supposed to increase fuel economy, give 5 mph in the top end decrease oil consumption, make you run faster, jump higher, and make world peace... or some of thoes at least.. heh.
amsnow reviewed it a couple months ago, and they really liked it.

toydoc 12-11-2001, 07:28 PM I use Maxama Super M for my pre-mix oil.
Cat oil for cat oil injection system, Yamalube for the yam injection system.
liquid600 12-11-2001, 07:41 PM Blue Marble Synthetic grade
goose 12-11-2001, 07:41 PM i'm going with amsoil. i ran arctic cat in the past , but i heard good things about amsoil. i saw a couple of people complaining about the smell of amsoil . *we will see. i'm more worried about snow first!!!! * * -goose-
Mr Siv 12-11-2001, 09:05 PM for me, when ya leave the sleds sit and warm up in the morning and they are smoking really bad... and you end up with that cloud of smoke, the amsoil really gets to me. it makes my eyes burn and stuff.. but when ya are goin, or the sleds are warm, its fine. amsoil is really inexpensive too.

Yamahopper 12-17-2001, 10:53 PM Who was the guy that was selling Klotz TCW-3 for 18.00 a gallon? Does anyone know how to get ahold of him?
Thanks http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
yellosled 12-22-2001, 06:05 PM I am planning on moving from skidoo reg. oil to Klotz and am wondering about mixing the two. *How do you guys do it? *Wait until the oil is real low and then add the new type or do you drain the old first? *I'd rather not drain due to possibility of air bubbles in the line.
86indy400 12-22-2001, 09:34 PM I've always used Klotz in my 74 T'NT F/A, it's awsome for racing.
snoduke 12-22-2001, 11:10 PM 2 years ago I premixed gas/oil for my snowblower. *all I had was yamalube, *I put some in glass pint jar and set it on shelf. *It is still setting there and there is no seperation. *Looks just like it did when I put on shelf
MACH1MXZ600 12-23-2001, 11:26 AM Klotz will mix w/ skidoo oil i talked to a tech at klotz factory .But i drained my oil anyway to be safe http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/excl.gif!
ryrto1 12-23-2001, 06:21 PM I ran Klotz last year in my '99 Cat ZL 600 EFI. *I don't know if this was the right way to do it but I filled the oil up almost full with the cat oil and then topped it off with klotz. After a couple hours of first putting the Klotz in I could smell it. Must be riding shook it enough to mix it all up. They mixed together very well. From then out I just kept topping the tank off with the klotz every time I rode. Never had a probelm.
Gonna try amsoil this year in my '02 ZR500
NHIcegator 12-23-2001, 07:20 PM http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif Good ole purple panther p*ss for me, always worked in my mix sleds, hope it works in my new,first injected sled.
enduringexplorer 12-27-2001, 09:30 AM Has anyone ever tried Citco Sea and Snow? It is a synthetic blend, but I don't know of anyone else that has tried it.
Golsovia 01-14-2002, 06:20 PM We haven't used the Citgo Sea and Snow in our rigs but their Premium TC-W3 has been promoted here in Alaska as a good choice down to -47 F. We have used quite a few gallons of it in our snowmachines and it has worked very well even down to those temps where springs and shocks feel solid. Rigs are like riding a stump but the engines take it all in stride. In comparing it to other oils (in the outboard now) running at prolonged high speeds, the Citgo has been every bit the equal of more expensive oils and a whole lot better than stuff like Havoline.
MrZzz 01-15-2002, 10:37 PM I switched to Klotz over the summer in my Mach Z and have since been out twice. *It seems to smoke just as much during warm up and the wife is still complaining that her eyes are burning riding behind me. *Now I'm fouling plugs and a different cylinder ea. time. *Didn't have this problem with plain old skidoo min. *I'm carefull not to let it sit idling too long and I shut the choke down as soon as it fires. *I'm switching back to see what happens.
Anyone else foul plugs when they went synthetic???
corvette77 01-16-2002, 03:24 PM i use amsoil its cheap smells bad and works great
midnight screamer 03-22-2002, 12:24 AM I use ski-doo oil. *It works just fine. *I have gotten sick from it though so I might switch to amsoil.
phazerhater 03-22-2002, 12:50 AM Arctic Extreme or amsoil for me. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
