2021 Polaris Snowmobile Models With AMSOIL Synthetic Oil Suggestion
In this post, we will discuss the major changes for Ski-Doo’s 2021 snowmobile lineup. We will also list every ’21 Ski-Doo model and offer our oil recommendation for each.
2021 Ski-Doo Model Highlights
New Entry-Level 600 EFI 2-Stroke Engine
A brand-new entry-level Ski-Doo engine debuts for the 2021 season. This new electric-fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, 600cc twin-cylinder 2-stroke engine can be found in the “Sport” version of many models. It is a basic, “no-frills” engine with no variable-exhaust-power-valves and delivers 85 horsepower.
This engine replaces the previous carb 600 and 550 fan-cooled engines. All Ski-Doo engines are now fuel-injected.
Turbo Option For 850 E-TEC On Mountain Sleds
Ski-Doo debuts an industry-first for 2021. They are offering the first production two-stroke turbo-charger option for their mountain sleds. A turbo-charger is available for their 850 E-TEC engine in the Freeride and Summit lines.
This turbo is not designed to provide a horsepower boost at sea-level. The main motivation of the design is to eliminate power-loss at altitude. Once the engines sensors detect power-loss at altitude, the turbo compensates. This provides a massive advantage over naturally-aspirated engines.
Suspension Upgrade For MXZ And Renegade
Some MXZ and Renegade models receive upgraded front and rear suspension this season.
The new rear suspension is called rMotion X. The new geometry of this system provides improved handling, increased travel and more adjustability.
The front system is called RAS X. This new configuration offers longer “A” arms and a longer shock over the previous RAS system. The result is more precision and control in cornering and improved bump absorption.
REV Gen4 Platform Now On All Models
For 2021, the Skandic and Tundra models now ride on the REV Gen4 platform. All Ski-Doo models are now built on this chassis.
AMSOIL Synthetic Oils For 2021 Ski-Doo Snowmobile Models
AMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil
Interceptor is the ultimate Ski-Doo E-TEC injector oil. A tested and proven substitute for BRP 2T E-TEC Full-Synthetic Oil. Interceptor flows quickly in cold weather and protects from extreme heat. It keeps power-valves clean over long intervals. This oil provides the world-class performance and protection expected for E-TEC motors. Also suitable for the new 2021 E-TEC 850 Turbo engine.

A reader asks: I have a Moser M9 built Camaro with a Wavetrac differential. Wavetrac specifies not to use gear oil containing friction modifiers. I can’t get the oil they recommend for a cost that makes sense. Does AMSOIL have a gear oil that will work for this diff?
Our answer: All of AMSOIL’s automotive gear oils have some friction modifier content. Based on what Wavetrac is saying, it might be wise to go with a different brand for this particular application.
AMSOIL’s synthetic gear oils such as Severe Gear and Long Life Series can certainly be used in most all original equipment differentials. They are designed for both limited-slip and non-limited-slip differentials. The exception is AMSOIL Severe Gear SAE 190 Racing Gear Oil. Friction modifiers are not needed as it is strictly a racing oil.
AMSOIL Synthetics Gear Oils can also be used in many aftermarket differentials with outstanding results. AMSOIL gear oils do contain ingredients to help provide seamless performance in clutch-type limited-slip differentials. Wavetrac’s differentials might be the only situation where this isn’t a benefit. Or at the least, a harmless addition. AMSOIL synthetic gear oils provide outstanding wear control and cooler operation in most any other differential design.
In the case of Wavetrac’s aftermarket differentials, they use helical-cut gears. Apparently, the Wavetrac design requires some friction between the gears in order to function correctly. Therefore, gear oils that have some friction modifier content might be too slippery for proper operation. It is important to note that “synthetic” gear oils are not the issue for Wavetrac. It is the addition of limited-slip additives.
A reader asks: My daily driver pickup has a Chevy 283 engine with flat tappet cams. I use this truck all winter and it regularly sees sub-zero cold starts. So, I need a high zinc oil that flows fast in the winter. Will AMSOIL Z-Rod 10W-30 work well for winter use?
Our answer:AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic 10W-30 does offer very good cold weather properties. But we have another option that will offer better winter start-up performance.
AMSOIL Series 3000 Heavy Duty 5W-30 Diesel Oil has very high zinc and phosphorus. It is also designed for gasoline engines. This 5W-30 has 1379 ppm of zinc and 1266 ppm of phosphorus. These amounts are more than adequate for flat tappet cam protection.
Series 3000 5W-30 has a cold-pour-point of -47°C (-51°F). Therefore, it will flow very well on those cold mornings, while delivering exceptional flat tappet cam wear control.
What About Z-ROD 10W-30 Winter Performance?
First off, AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic 10W-30 offers 1440 ppm of zinc and 1320 ppm of phosphorus. So, its flat tappet cam credentials are ideal.
Z-ROD 10W-30 has a cold-pour-point of -46°C/-51°F. On the surface, it looks like the winter performance between Series 3000 5W-30 and Z-ROD 10W-30 is identical. The cold-pour-points of the two oils are within 1°C.
The cold-pour-point is the temperature threshold where a motor oil stops flowing.
But there is more to the story.
Comparing “Cold Cranking Simulator” Values
An important indicator of a motor oil’s ability to perform in extreme cold is the “cold cranking simulator” (CCS) test. This is a widely recognized industry lab test. In the CCS test, a motor oil is cooled down to a specific temperature. Then a crankshaft is rotated in the chilled oil. The viscosity of the motor oil is measured in “centipoise”. (cP)
A lower viscosity number scored in this test means better oil flow in extreme cold.
Industry standards dictate that 5W-30 motor oils are measured at -30°C and 10W-30 oils are measured at -25°C.
Therefore, the CCS numbers for these two products are not measured on exactly the same scale. But we can extrapolate.
Series 3000 5W-30- CCS @ -30C is 5286 cP
Z-ROD 10W-30- CCS @ -25C is 5138 cP
Remember, the lower the score in this test, the better an oil performs in cold weather.
If Z-ROD 10W-30’s CCS test was measured at -30°C, it’s cold cranking performance would turn out to be about 15% worse than Series 3000 5W-30.
To sum up, both AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 and Z-ROD 10W-30 offer very good winter performance. The 5W-30 has a distinct edge in terms of winter-cold-cranking performance and would be our choice for this scenario.

A reader asks: Our company has several Generac generators that run on liquid propane and natural gas. These generators run in severe winter temperatures and summer heat. Do you have an engine oil that will be suitable for all-season use and is compatible with LP and natural gas fuels?
Our answer: Yes, we have the perfect motor oil for your LP/natural gas-powered Generac generators. AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil ticks every box. This product is a high-quality replacement (and a tremendous upgrade) for the conventional Generac SAE 30 Motor Oil.
What Makes A Good Motor Oil For Generac Generators?
Here are the features that make AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil the perfect oil for generator applications.
Suitable for engines powered by LP, natural gas, gasoline or diesel fuels
Delivers commercial-grade wear protection
Pours down to -44°C (-47°F) for excellent winter start-up protection

Can Car Engine Oil Be Used In LP Or Natural Gas Generator Engines?
Automotive motor oils are not suitable for liquid propane or natural gas-powered generators. Car motor oil would tend to break down relatively quickly and be prone to oil consumption. Passenger car motor oils are simply not designed to work with LP or natural gas fuels.
To sum up, we can’t think of any reason as to why AMSOIL 5W-30 Synthetic Small Engine Oil would be anything but perfect for your generators.
