2024 Ski-Doo 2-Stroke And 4-Stroke Oil Recommendations

2024 Ski-Doo MXZ X-RS Snowmobile

Let’s take a look at the 2024 Ski-Doo snowmobile line. We will also offer an AMSOIL Synthetic Oil recommendation for each model and engine option.

Ski-Doo Brings Turbo To The Trail

Ski-Doo has added a serious dose of excitement to the MXZ series for 2024. They now offer the option of the 180 horsepower 850 E-TEC Turbo R engine in the MXZ X-RS model. This engine was first introduced in the Freeride mountain sleds. Instead of adding the extra weight of an intercooler, Ski-Doo took a more novel approach. A mixture of water and methanol is injected into the intake to cool the air as it enters the cylinders. This allows for more air volume to enter the cylinders, thereby maximizing power output.

Other 2024 Ski-Doo Line-up Changes

Here are the other changes of note for ‘24. The REV Gen5 chassis has been added to several 4-stroke and 600cc two-stroke models. The Backcountry series gets the cMotionX rear suspension. The Renegade line is shifting almost entirely to four-stroke engines. The Freeride models get a series of chassis refinements for improved handling.

Synthetic Oils For 2024 Ski-Doo Snowmobile Models

AMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil
Interceptor is AMSOIL’s world-class synthetic 2-stroke oil offering. A direct replacement for Ski-Doo’s XPS 2T E-TEC Full-Synthetic Oil. Interceptor has been exhaustively tested and proven in E-TEC motors. Expect the ultimate wear control and ultra-clean engine internals. This product is turbo-charger compatible. Interceptor covers the JASO FD specification.

AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Stroke Injector Oil
An ideal injector oil for Ski-Doo 600cc EFI and the 550cc fan-cooled engines. Also a superb upgrade for older Ski-Doo engines. This full synthetic two-stroke oil can replace Ski-Doo/XPS 2T Snowmobile Synthetic Oil, XPS 2T Snowmobile Synthetic-Blend Oil or XPS 2T Snowmobile Premium Mineral Oil. Can be used in oil-injection systems or premix.

AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke 0W-40 Synthetic Oil
A full-synthetic engine oil for Ski-Doo 4-stroke engines. Suitable for ACE 600, ACE 900, ACE 900 Turbo and ACE 900 Turbo R motors. A great substitute for XPS 4T 0W-40 Synthetic Oil. A cold-pour-point of -60°F means instant engine protection during cold-starts. AMSOIL delivers dependable engine protection and is safe for turbochargers.

Is Special Oil Needed For Vintage Snowmobile Engines?

AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Stroke Injector OilA reader asks: I’ve got a fleet of restored snowmobiles from the 1970’s and early 1980’s. Regarding 2-stroke oil, I see that there is now a Polaris Vintage 2-Stroke Oil available. Would this product be my best choice?

Our answer: First off, we have no data or test information on Polaris Vintage 2-Stroke Oil. We are sure that it is a perfectly competent product. However, it is a conventional (or mineral) two-cycle oil. We are huge advocates of synthetic oil in two-stroke engines. Do note that older two-stroke engines are 100% compatible with synthetic oil. In fact, the advantages of synthetic oil in classic 2-stroke motors are too numerous to overlook.

There are no specifications listed for the Polaris Vintage Oil. However, we can extrapolate a few things from their product description. The Polaris product page does note that the Vintage 2-Stroke Oil has a heavier viscosity than regular two-cycle oil. Therefore, we can assume that the oil is formulated this way for older engines with some wear and looser tolerances. Be aware that a heavy mineral oil may not flow very quickly in oil-injected engines on very cold days.

Polaris also mentions that this Vintage Oil should not be used in snowmobile engines equipped with variable exhaust power valves. This suggests that carbon deposit build-up is a concern.

Polaris does add a fuel stabilizer component to this Vintage 2-Stroke Oil formula. This is a nice touch. If a two-cycle oil does not offer gasoline preservation, we strongly advocate adding a splash of stabilizer additive to every batch of fuel.

Is Synthetic Oil Better For Vintage 2-Stroke Engines?

We contend that a full-synthetic oil is the most cost-effective upgrade for any older 2-stroke motor. A well-formulated synthetic oil will provide robust wear-control and improved friction reduction. In our opinion, this is a superior approach over simply ratcheting up viscosity for older engines.

AMSOIL’s Synthetic Option For Vintage 2-Stroke Engines

AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Stroke Injector Oil is a superb choice for any classic two-stroke engine. Here are the features and benefits of this product.

  • Excellent wear-control from synthetic base oils and robust additives
  • Outstanding cold-flow properties over mineral oil. Flows down to -63F
  • Burns clean for low exhaust smoke
  • Can be used in older engines with variable exhaust power valves
  • Delivers cleaner operation with less combustion chamber and exhaust port deposits
  • Contains ingredients that fight internal rust and corrosion
  • Premix or oil-injection compatible
  • Priced competitively with OEM mineral 2-stroke oils

Conclusion

In conclusion, older 2-stroke engines do not require a specialized 2-cycle oil. A good synthetic 2-stroke oil will provide maximum wear protection, cleaner operation and offer a performance upgrade.

Can You Mix 2-Stroke Injector Oil Brands Or Types?

A reader asks: I’m currently running Polaris Blue 2-Stroke Oil in my snowmobile. Looking at switching to AMSOIL Synthetic Injector Oil. As Polaris Blue is a mineral oil and the AMSOIL is a synthetic oil, do I have to completely empty the oil tank? Would there be any problems with mixing these oils?

Our answer: All types of two-stroke injector oils can be mixed. There will not be any compatibility issues. All brands of synthetic, semi-synthetic and conventional 2-cycle oils are compatible.

Does A 2-Stroke Oil Injector Tank Need To Be Emptied When Switching Brands?

You do not have to complete empty your injector oil reservoir when switching oil types or brands. Simply run the oil level down to a safe point and pour the new oil on top.

While all two-stroke oils are compatible, they are not created equal. High-quality synthetic 2-stroke injector oils will create less exhaust smoke, offer improved performance, improved wear control and cleaner engine internals.

Therefore, when switching brands, you may note different performance characteristics when the new oil comes on-stream.

This engine features electronic-fuel-injection and a 3-stage APV exhaust valve. Blast motors generate about 70-horsepower. There is a Blast 4000 “M” (mountain), “ZR” (trail) and “LT” (utility) version of this series.

We can offer AMSOIL Synthetic Oils for Arctic Cat snowmobiles at wholesale prices in Canada and the US. There is free shipping on qualified orders. Contact us for pricing using the form on this page or call us at 1-800-748-5781.
