: Is It Ok To Mix Amsoil With Alitlle Of Castrol Left In The Tank? FreezerBurnt 10-12-2006, 07:59 PM no problem :) even if its half full it will mix without illl effect been there done that with many types of sled oil iammxz800 10-12-2006, 08:10 PM Take the time to suck it out or drain it. Welcome to snowmobile world !! Newbie!!!!!! andjayik 10-12-2006, 08:14 PM The tank was full of castrol, and i drained 3/4 of it. iammxz800 10-12-2006, 09:39 PM Drain a little more, no snow yet ! Summit583guy 10-12-2006, 10:18 PM even better instead of waisting the oil, burn that tank down untill there is only an inch or so left then add your amsoil. castrol is fine oil to use i have used it for years and its priced right.

[/b] This is what I would do, but like FB said you can dump it in anytime and it will mix fine. :thumbsup: trailblazer 10-13-2006, 02:55 PM The only oil combination I'm aware of that you can't mix is Ipone with Amsoil. The 2 simply will not mix and could result in you becoming the brunt of many online jokes involving a turkey baster. I don't know if Ipone will mix with any other oils.

FWIW, from Amsoil's site: It is recommended wherever JASO FC or API TC two-cycle oils are specified. INTERCEPTOR is a premium quality replacement for recreational equipment manufacturers' branded two-cycle oils. It is compatible with most mineral and synthetic two-cycle oils, however, for best performance, mixing oils should be minimized.[/b] (reference: http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/ait.aspx) FreezerBurnt 10-13-2006, 11:46 PM "however ,for best performance" blah blah blah over course they will put that in there as they are selling their product If its a TWC JASO FB FC FD API rated 2 smoke it will mix BTW I ran 10w30GTX last year when I was in a bind for 40miles :p better then no oil and had to get home Though I did drain it after the ride and put fresh Bardahl andjayik 10-13-2006, 11:48 PM castrol is no synthetic then i mix amsoil which is synthatic? no probs, cause i ready mixed it and it semms to run fine? FreezerBurnt 10-13-2006, 11:52 PM BTW I ran Castrol in my 583 17,098kms and still 140psi without a rebuild so do not be affraid of using Castrol My rave valves had little residue and never got stuck Should be fine like I said they will mix :) Cam 10-14-2006, 01:49 AM Hey Folks, I'm new here, but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. Mixing shouldn't be a problem, although if there are relatively large amounts of your "non favorite" oil, it will compromise the qualities of your "favortie" to some degree. Cheers :lookaround: Cam andjayik 10-14-2006, 08:21 AM 140 psi is that what i should look out for when doing a compression test? FreezerBurnt 10-15-2006, 03:58 PM ya about that anything over 130 and under 150 should be fine for the 583 as all gauges read slightly diferent just make sure that they are within 5psi of each other darr12 10-16-2006, 12:50 PM I had a little bit of castrol 2 stroke left in my oil tank, can i fill it up with amsoil with no problems?
