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.

Not recommended for long-term use in outboard motors as
a TC-W3 type oil, although excellent as a racing oil for
short term use where motors are periodically inspected.
Excellent for racing or modified motors. Very good for
recreational use.
For applications calling for a TC-W3 product use the recommendations
listed under Outboards.
Recommended for all direct fuel injected (DFI), electronic fuel
injected (EFI) and carbureted motors.
Includes Mercury® Optimax®, Johnson® & Evinrude® FICHT®& E-TEC™, Yamaha® HPDI, Nissan® & Tohatsu® TLDI®. |
