Zambroski Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Holy shit! Even for Polaris sleds?!?! Amazing!!! Starting april 1st amsoil will be offering a 2 year/5000 mile. engine warranty to anyone who uses amsoil interceptor. On a new oem 2 stroke snowmobile. It will cover all internal components of the engine that are lubricated. It does not have to be the oil that causes the malfunction or destruction for the warranty to cover the engine. https://w.amsoil.com/lander/snow-warranty/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 They will be filing bankruptcy soon. Every OEM will be pushing Amsoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostynuts Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Good luck with that. They will probably need your sled for a couple of seasons to decide IF you get warranty, or not. Probably a disclaimer stating you can only collect from one warranty source as well, so if brand new, that would be Poolaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Ive been using this stuff for the last 2 seasons. $22 a gallon at farm and fleet. If you can get a good deal on amsoil I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 1, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 1, 2020 Well considering Cat is the only one offering a 1 year warranty. Doo and Poo are offering 4 years on spring orders. Who would you go to first to get warranty reimbursement....your dealer or Amsoil? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a $19.00 one sitting on my desk right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I have noticed is the skidoo full syn burns my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run Opti, what they do is double MFG warranty, so two year warranty on motor by the mfg, the next 2 years are covered by Opti..So the motor would be covered for 4 years.

teamgreen02 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Good move by Amsoil. I think their sales have really taken a hit with the fear the manufacturers have put into consumers. Even though the manufacturer warranty would cover it for Polaris or Ski-Doo, consumers don't want to be in a finger pointing match between the OEM and the oil supplier on an expensive repair. Especially when Amsoil isn't much cheaper, or even the same price, as the OEM oil. Why take that risk just to say you run the Amzoilz?!?!?!? For Cat buyers it is a good deal. Basically a free year of extended warranty on the engine, up to 5000 miles. My 6000 CTEC was run the first 1500 miles on Amsoil Interceptor. I've run the CTEC2 oil since but now at 6100 miles and no issues. With the CTEC 2 oil being $34 per gallon at Haydays, it just isn't worth running an aftermarket oil.

Mystik =$14 Amsoil = much more than $14 I don't get hung up and the whole "this oil is better than that oil" bullshit. Because that's all it is, bullshit. If your 2stroke engine fails because of oil, its because you didn't use enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People better be able to account for every gallon that should have been run through the sled. Oh the horrors. Honda wants a picture of my oil change receipt at 20 hours if I change it myself. Such a PITA. I'm thinking I might just sell it and cut my losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
