2025 Arctic Cat Snowmobile Highlights

The big news for Arctic Cat in 2025 is the introduction of a new big bore two-stroke engine and an exciting new big-screen dash display.

New 858 2-Stroke Engine

The new 858cc engine replaces the 800 C-TEC2. This new 858 motor is said to be over 10% more powerful than the previous 800 engine and yet is about 3% lighter than the 600cc C-TEC2 motor. This should put the 858 in the 175-180 horsepower range and also giving it a remarkable power-to-weight ratio. This will be Cat’s flagship powerplant for trail, mountain and crossover machines.

Garmin G8 Display

This new 8-inch, touchscreen display is found on some M Series Mountain Cats, Riot 2-stroke and ZR 2-stroke models. It features Garmin GPS mapping that does not require a connected phone. This platform allows you to connect to up to 20 riders. It can show their location, offers the ability to exchange messages and allows you to speak with connected riders through Bluetooth headsets. Non-G8 owners and even non-Arctic Cat riders can participate in this group platform by simply downloading an app. This display also offers detailed machine instrumentation, phone connectivity and live weather radar and notifications. Today’s snowmobile GPS and display technology is taking navigation, communication and safety to an exciting new level.

Ethanol Now In All Premium Gas In Canada- What To Do?

AMSOIL Upper Cylinder LubricantHere are solutions to counteract the ethanol now added to premium gasoline.

Premium gasoline is no longer ethanol-free in most Canada locations. At least 10% ethanol content is now mandated for the vast majority of premium gasoline on the market.

Until recently, premium grade gasoline was without ethanol at many Canadian pumps. For those looking to avoid ethanol for their powersports engine, small engine or classic car, premium gasoline was the safe option.

Is Ethanol Content In Gasoline A Problem?

Small engines, powersports engines and classic/collector car engines can develop problems due to the ethanol portion of gasoline. For most modern automotive applications, it’s not a problem. Automotive engines and their fuel-related components have been designed to be compatible with ethanol for decades. However, direct-injection engines can benefit from extra lubricity in the fuel. More on that below.

Ethanol In Small Engines And Powersport Engines

For applications like boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles and lawn/garden/utility engines, the ethanol content of gasoline can cause fits. There are a couple of reasons for this.

First and foremost, ethanol attracts and absorbs moisture. This ethanol/moisture mixture sinks to the bottom of the fuel tank and is eventually drawn into the combustion chamber. Once this combination goes through the engine, it creates perilously lean combustion. So much so, that engine seizure or severe damage is possible.

The second reason that ethanol is a concern in smaller engines is that it degrades quickly. This is a problem in the relatively small fuel tanks of smaller engines. Stale fuel can plug carburetors and make for difficult starting and hampered performance.

Solution- AMSOIL Quickshot is a gasoline additive for powersports and small engines. It neutralizes moisture/ethanol mixtures, allowing it to pass through the engine without any harmful effects. Quickshot also cleans carbs and injectors and provides medium-term fuel stabilization. Quickshot counteracts all of the potential harm that ethanol can cause in smaller engines.

For long-term storage, look to AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer. It preserves gasoline for up to two years. See how it dominated Sea Foam in fuel stabilization testing. AMSOIL Quickshot and the Gasoline Stabilizer can be used together in the same fuel batch.

Ethanol In Collector Cars And Street Rods

Ethanol can present a host of challenges for classic cars. Many older engines were designed long before the introduction of ethanol being added to gasoline. Therefore, they may have carburetor parts and fuel lines that don’t react well to ethanol. Ethanol is also a strong cleaning agent. The introduction of ethanol can loosen rust and dirt in old fuel tanks which can then plug fuel lines and filters.

Solution- First and foremost, fuel lines and carburetor parts will need to be replaced with those made of modern, ethanol-resistant materials. Fuel tanks will need to be cleaned out or replaced altogether. Chances are, these changes have already been made to well-maintained collector cars. But if not, this is motivation to update these components.

Secondly, adding AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant coats metal surfaces and fights corrosion. It counteracts ethanol’s pesky habit of attracting moisture and causing corrosion.

Thirdly, classic cars tend to operate sporadically and spend a considerable amount of time in storage. As gasoline with ethanol tends to degrade quickly, adding a good gasoline stabilizer is a solid practice. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer has been proven to preserve fuel for up to two years. This practice prevents plugged fuel lines and carburetors.

Ethanol In Modern Automotive Engines

As mentioned, all modern cars are compatible with gasoline containing ethanol. However, direct-injected engines can have issues that can be exacerbated by ethanol. Direct-injected engines employ timing that has them constantly running lean. These engines also tend to have relatively low amounts of lubrication in the upper cylinders. Ethanol attracts moisture which can promote internal corrosion in this area. Direct injection engines can also be very prone to fuel system and combustion chamber deposits. Therefore, on a few fronts, direct-injection engines are exposed to very hostile operating conditions.

Solution- AMSOIL Upper Cylinder Lubricant combats all of the listed issues. It provides extra lubrication to the vulnerable upper cylinder areas and neutralizes the corrosive effects of moisture/ethanol. This product also cleans injectors and prevents the formation of performance-robbing deposits.

AMSOIL Releases New “ULV” ATF For GM And Ford Vehicles

AMSOIL Signature Series ULV 100% Synthetic ATFAMSOIL has released a new full-synthetic automatic transmission fluid for Ford and General Motors vehicles requiring the MERCON ULV and DEXRON ULV specifications. New AMSOIL Signature Series ULV 100% Synthetic ATF is now available in the United States and Canada. This product is is available in either US-quart (946 ml) Easy-Packs or US-gallon jugs.

Contact us for a US or Canadian wholesale price list using the form on this page. We ship from warehouses located in Canada and the US.

About AMSOIL Signature Series ULV 100% Synthetic ATF

This product is part of AMSOIL’s ultra-premium Signature Series family of products. Signature Series offers AMSOIL’s very best technology with the priority being performance and protection.

The new synthetic “ULV” version is designed to provide outstanding wear protection in this ultra-low-viscosity category. Getting dependable film strength from an ATF fluid with such a sparse viscosity is no small task. AMSOIL pulls out all the stops to ensure that this product withstands extreme loads and high heat.

About The MERCON ULV And DEXRON ULV ATF Specifications

Ford and General Motors now suggest ultra-low-viscosity fluid for some of their latest 10-speed automatic transmissions. Ford’s specification is “MERCON ULV”. General Motor’s specification is “DEXRON ULV”.

Due to the thin viscosity of these ULV specifications, both MERCON ULV and DEXRON ULV are NOT backward compatible with previous MERCON and DEXRON specifications.

AMSOIL Releases New 75W-85 API GL-5 Gear Oil

AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-85 Synthetic Gear OilAMSOIL has added a new synthetic 75W-85 gear oil to their premium Severe Gear line up. The new AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W-85 Gear Oil is ideal for late-model applications that suggest an 75W-85 API GL-5 gear oil.

This is AMSOIL’s first 75W-85 gear oil. It is available in AMSOIL’s smart “Easy-Pack” 1-quart (946 ml) container format only.

Why Is There A 75W-85 Gear Oil Grade?

Car makers have been striving for years to find every marginal gain in terms of fuel efficiency. Part of this agenda has been moving to thinner and thinner lubricants. This has been the case with engine oils, transmission fluids and gear lubes. The trend has been most apparent in engine oils. In the past 20 years, we’ve witnessed the move from 5W-30 to 5W-20/0W-20 to 0W-16 and now even 0W-8 in some cars!

Of course, the biggest challenge of moving to thinner lubricants is to ensure that wear protection is not compromised. The vast majority of cars, trucks and SUV’s have traditionally used 75W-90 in their differentials. The move from 75W-90 to 75W-85 in some applications is not a large viscosity drop. Wear protection will not be affected. So why is the auto industry bothering to essentially invent a slightly thinner gear oil grade? Simply put, marginal gains are marginal gains.

About The AMSOIL Severe Gear Series

AMSOIL’s Severe Gear series of full-synthetic gear lubricants are widely renowned as among the most robust gear oils on the market. Features include strong wear protection, exceptional resistance to high-heat, excellent cold weather performance, reduced friction and long service life.
