I was told by a 19 year old girl today at cycle world that if I run injector amsoil in my Banshee that it would burn up in "2min". *I was directed to the 100:1 premix oil that was convieniently priced about 5 dollars more.

Does anyone else know if you can use the injector syntetic amsoil as a mix for my banshee Ratio is like 32:1, or will it blow up. *

She was very concerned that i would even think of running regular amsoil. *She said its becasue its thin and designed to run thu the pump but it cant be mixed.

I think shes full of it and i want to use my 34203 gallons of reg amsoil in my banshee. *

What do you think.

I mix amsoil for my snow blowers, outboards, 120 hp Jet-boat engine, 33cc Motorized scooter *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

5 dollars does sound like cheap insurance though.......

Its not the 5 dollars it because i got 32352 gallons of the regular amsoil and the only time i ever heard you cant mix it with anything was today by some inexperianced girl behind the counter. *I just thought she heard it from somewhere and might look into it.

But i used regular amsoil in everything as well.

Machzzzz1 *You should be good to go. If any doubt I think it will tell you on the jug *how low of a ratio you can go. * * * *eg-50-1/100-1
*32-1 should not be a problem.(man thats rich) I would think snowmobile oil is over kill if anything,due to the fact it is made with a low temp flow rate. Most are good for -40. I use my snowmobile oil in everything. If it burns oil with gas it gets my snowmobile oil. *I think that girl is snifing glue. * http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Amsoil injector oils can be mixed at 50 to 1 if you want to use it pre-mix. the Amsoil 100 to 1 can not be used as injector oil. It can only be used as a premix.

You'll like running it in your atv, when you come back in from riding it, you'll smell like your sled!

I use TCW3 Klotz *in my chain saws and weed eater. It will be just fine. Tell her she needs an education. You would actually be safe at 50:1, but that is up to you to make that call.

Here is an idea, call Amsoil

Thats what i thought. *She even told me that 3 customers of the store blew up there engine within 2 miniutes becasue of running injector amsoil. *She shut me down. *

She is sniffing somthing. *But i emailed amsoil just to be sure. *I mean Oil is Oil. *The only thing is that the premix oil is thicker and i think wouldnt work in a injector pump, but both should mix, Thats what they do anyway.

I run Amsoil in everything I have that requires mix. *
You won't have any problems, but let us know what Amsoil says.

P.S. why do you have such a stock of Amsoil?

Machzzzz1 Amsoil injector oil can be mixed down to *50:1
If the Banshee is a 32:1 , after break in I would run it 60:1 with the amsoil 100:1 pre-mix. What did Amsoil tell you??

I&#39;ve been running Amsoil injector in my very modified, Vito engine Banshee, at 50:1, for three years now, in all kinds of temps and conditions, with no issues...Knock on wood.

Maybe you should take a shovel for the chick at cycle world for all the b.s. chest waders may be a wise investment if it gets any deeper. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Ok I called the tech line. *(Thanks LadyK.) *

THis is what the guy said. *

With yamalube use what they say 32:1 with amsoil premix 100:1 and with amsoil injector 50:1.

So Im still not sure.

I now have to bottles of 100:1 so im gonna use that at 32:1 for break in and then run that 50:1. *

Then im gonna use injector at 32:1 and check the plug after a few tanks. *Then maybe drop down to 50:1.

Does anyone on this site have a banshee and use amsoil. *I would like to hear your opinion on this.

THanks.

I can still feel the pain from handing over the cash for the Vito
moded Banshee motor. This is pretty much a full tilt racing engine run with Toomey T-5 pipes and a bunch of other mods I&#39;m not going to get in to. I can assure you that if I thought there were even a remote chance of that motor letting go because of the Amsoil, I&#39;d be running something different. The Amsoil is not going to hurt your motor. Go ahead and run it at 32:1 if you like, but 50:1 is plenty. You&#39;ll see plenty of smoke behind you even at 50:1. For a stock Banshee run normally on trails, I&#39;d be tempted to run at 100:1.

Ok this is Amsoils responce.

Hi Martin,

The Person behind the counter is very mis-informed. *While the 100:1 oil is a good choice. You certainly can use our AIO injector oil and pre-mix at 50:1. *The 100:1 oil may cost more, but you are only using half as much, *so either oil will work.

Thank you,

So the Girl behind the counter didnt know what she was talking about.

She might have been if she just let me buy what i wanted. *But she was a peice of work. *She thought she was a 54 year small engine mechanic and a metalurgy expert. *

I guess the world would be boring if we didnt have our pros..
