I'm currently buying Amsoil Full Synthetic for both my sleds, it costs over $35 per gallon. I'm a firm believer in Amsoil and it has proven itself in my sleds......... 11,500 miles before I puked the engine. But I'm having a hard time justifying over $35 per gallon, surely theres another oil out there which does just as good a job but costs less. Please no product bashing, just the facts please.

I've used Arctic Blue (white jug) for many years, in both my Cats and Polaris. Fleet Farm under $16.00 a gal
I've tried to find better without luck. Tried Amsoil, Polaris VES, Injex and others, this is better IMO

There's probably 10 oils that people on here swear by or at, but if you got 11,500 on your engine, why change? My bud's Cat 700 put about 12,000 on with Amsoil before he got a different sled but you need a lot of things to go right to get that far. I ran it in my Poos, but it didn't stop me from crashing my XC and it didn't stop the carb boot from tearing on my Fusion, so I have no idea how far those engines would have gone on it.

is much cheaper than Interceptor, its multi-purpose and will work with power valves.

Order direct from AMSOIL and save with the PC Discount. If you PM I will tell you exactly how much it costs.

Buy Wholesale Direct

Seriously? You think $35 per gal is too much?????? Price a gal of any sled OEM oil, you'll think you stole it at that price.-Mezz

That's probably a conservative estimate! :)

And my standard answer is.....find the one that is the best match for 1) meeting or exceeding the requirements set forth by your sled manufacturer, 2) is pleasing to your wallet, and 3) (optional) is pleasing to your nose. If you do that, and you're a recreational user (i.e., not a racer and/or heavily modded) then oil is oil is oil. Paying more does not necessarily mean better oil, and paying less does not necessarily mean "junk" oil.
