AMSOIL DOMINATOR 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Racing Oil
AMSOIL DOMINATOR 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Racing Oil is built for one thing: winning.
It is made for engines that live at full throttle and high rpm.

Race motors run hotter & harder.
Closer to the edge than trail machines.
They need oil that can handle brutal heat, high compression and heavy loads.
Dominator gives you strong film strength.
Clean burning performance and serious wear control.
It helps protect your investment in cylinders, pistons, crankshafts and bearings.
Paring DOMINATOR
Racers often pair DOMINATOR with two other AMSOIL products for a complete setup:
- AMSOIL Quickshot Gasoline Treatment and Stabilizer
- AMSOIL Powersports Antifreeze & Coolant
Together they help your race engine run cleaner, cooler and more consistent all season.
What Makes DOMINATOR Different From Regular Two-Stroke Oil
Built For High Heat And High RPM
Race engines are not gentle.
They see long pulls at wide-open throttle and sudden throttle chops.
Temperatures spike fast and stay high.
Dominator uses tough synthetic base oils that keep their strength under those conditions.
The oil film hangs on at very high rpm and heavy load.
This helps protect:
- Piston skirts and ring lands
- Needle and roller bearings
- Rod and main bearings
The goal is simple.
Hold a strong film between moving parts when the engine is trying to tear it away.
Race-Focused Anti-Friction Chemistry
Racers want power and reliability at the same time.
Dominator uses anti-friction additives tuned for race conditions.
Less friction means:
- Quicker revs off the line
- Stronger pull out of corners
- Less wasted energy as heat
At the same time, the oil still has strong wear control.
That balance is what makes it a racing product, not just a generic two-stroke oil.
Clean-Burning Protection In Extreme Conditions
Controls Deposits And Ring Sticking
Two-stroke engines can build carbon fast.
Rich jetting, big throttle and high compression all add to the problem.
If the oil is wrong, you can get:
- Stuck rings
- Heavy carbon on the piston crown
- Plug fouling and misfires
Dominator is blended to burn cleaner in hot race engines.
It resists heavy deposit formation and helps rings stay free in their grooves.
Clean rings mean:
- Better sealing
- Stronger compression
- More repeatable power from moto to moto
Helps Keep Power Valves And Exhaust Ports Clean
Many modern performance two-strokes use power valves in the exhaust port.
If those valves gum up, they can stick or move slowly.
That can hurt power in the mid-range and top end.
Dominator’s synthetic formula and detergent package help reduce sticky deposits.
That gives the valves a better chance to stay free and move as designed.
Resists Plug Fouling
Dirty oil and rich mixtures often foul plugs.
This is not what you want on the start line.
Because Dominator burns cleaner, it helps reduce wet, dirty build-up on plug tips.
You still must jet correctly, but the oil will not fight you.
Where DOMINATOR Shines
Motocross, Supercross And Off-Road Racing
Motocross and off-road racing beat up engines.
High jumps, deep ruts and endless throttle changes load the motor constantly.
Dominator is a strong choice for:
- Two-stroke motocross bikes
- Arenacross and supercross builds
- Hare scramble and enduro race bikes that run hard
In these settings, the oil must handle:
- High rpm down long straights
- Sudden engine braking into corners
- Hot, dusty race days with limited airflow
Dominator helps the motor stay protected when you ride at the limit.
Snowmobile Racing And High-Performance Sleds
Two-stroke sleds can make serious power.
Long pulls on lakes, hillclimbs and deep powder rides punish the engine.
Cold air can fool you.
Even in freezing weather, internal engine parts get very hot.
Dominator is popular in many racing and performance sled setups.
It handles:
- High-load clutching
- Long full-throttle runs
- Sudden throttle chops when you set up for corners
Matched with the right fuel and ratio, it helps the engine stay alive in harsh winter racing.
Karts, Drag Racing And Other Specialty Builds
Race karts and other custom two-stroke projects rev extremely high.
They often use aggressive port timing, high compression and tight clearances.
Dominator is designed for engines like these.
It focuses on:
- Strong film strength at very high rpm
- Good scuff protection under detonation risk
- Clean running when fuel and timing are pushed
Always follow your engine builder’s advice on oil choice and premix ratio.
Dominator belongs in engines that are inspected and serviced more often than casual trail machines.
Mix Ratios And Usage Basics
Premix And Oil-Injection Use
Dominator is commonly used as a premix oil.
A normal starting point is 50:1, or 2.6 ounces per U.S. gallon of gas, unless your tuner says otherwise.
Some racing engines and setups may use richer ratios.
The right mix depends on:
- Engine size and design
- Compression and porting
- Fuel type and race length
Dominator can also work in many oil-injected racing applications.
Check the equipment builder’s guidance before switching any injection system.
Racing Use Versus Everyday Trail Riding
Dominator is a racing oil first.
It is not the best match for long-term, low-rpm trail cruising or general recreation.
For casual sleds, bikes or outboards that run many easy hours, AMSOIL offers other two-stroke oils.
Those are tuned for longer service intervals and broad OEM coverage.
Use Dominator where you want the most protection and performance in a true race environment.
Companion Product #1 – AMSOIL Quickshot
Why Fuel Treatment Matters In Race Engines
Today’s pump fuel is not always friendly to small, high-output engines.
Ethanol can pull in moisture and cause phase separation.
Old fuel can leave gums and varnish in carbs and injectors.
That is where AMSOIL Quickshot Gasoline Treatment and Stabilizer comes in.
Racers pair Quickshot with Dominator to:
- Help keep fuel fresh between events
- Reduce problems from ethanol-blended gasoline
- Keep the whole fuel path cleaner over time
Clean Fuel Systems And Sharp Throttle Response
Quickshot contains strong detergents.
These detergents target deposits in:
- Carburetor jets and passages
- Injector tips and fuel rails
- Combustion chambers and plug tips
A clean fuel system helps your engine:
- Start easier
- Idle more smoothly
- Respond faster when you crack the throttle
When you combine Quickshot with clean-burning Dominator, you support both sides:
fuel delivery and lubrication.
Protection Against Ethanol And Moisture
Ethanol can attract water from the air.
This water can cause corrosion and poor running, especially in seasonal equipment.
Quickshot is made to deal with that.
It helps keep small amounts of water suspended so they can pass through and be burned.
It also helps protect fuel system parts from rust and corrosion.
For race bikes and sleds that sit between events, that extra layer of protection is very helpful.
Companion Product #2 – AMSOIL Powersports Antifreeze & Coolant
Cooling For Hot-Running, High-Rev Engines
Many modern two-stroke race engines are liquid cooled.
Good oil cannot save an engine that is constantly overheating.
AMSOIL Powersports Antifreeze & Coolant is designed for these conditions.
It is pre-mixed 50/50 with high-purity water, so it is ready to pour.
This coolant helps:
- Control operating temperature in hard racing
- Protect against boil-over in heavy load and slow airflow
- Keep clearances stable so the engine stays happy
Long-Life Protection And Clean Cooling Passages
Powersports Antifreeze & Coolant is built for a long service life when used as directed.
It is formulated to protect:
- Aluminum cylinders and heads
- Copper, brass and bronze components
- Common gasket and hose materials
It is free of several additives that can cause scale and build-up.
That helps keep passages clean and flowing.
Clean passages mean better heat transfer and more stable engine temperatures.
All-Season Coverage
This coolant gives both freeze and boil-over protection.
That matters if you race in cold climates or in very hot weather.
Paired with Dominator, it lets your engine run hard while staying within a safe temperature range.
Putting Together A Race-Ready Fluid Package
Dominator + Quickshot + Powersports Coolant
When you combine all three products, you build a simple but strong system:
- Dominator handles friction and wear inside the two-stroke engine.
- Quickshot handles dirty, ethanol-blended fuel and keeps the fuel path clean.
- Powersports Antifreeze & Coolant handles engine temperature and corrosion in the cooling system.
Together they support:
- Strong, repeatable power
- Cleaner combustion and better throttle response
- More stable operating temperatures under long, hard runs
Who Benefits Most From This Combo
You will benefit most from this triple setup if you:
- Race motocross or off-road on a two-stroke
- Run a high-output two-stroke snowmobile
- Compete in kart racing or other two-stroke racing classes
These engines are stressed and expensive.
Using a matched set of fluids gives you a margin of safety when you push the limit.
Tips For Getting The Most From DOMINATOR
Before Race Day
- Mix only as much fuel as you will use soon.
- Use the octane rating your engine builder specifies.
- Add Dominator at the correct premix ratio.
- Add Quickshot at the recommended treatment rate.
- Shake fuel containers to blend the mix well.
Label your fuel cans clearly so nobody grabs the wrong one.
During The Season
Watch key signs of engine health:
- Spark plug color and cleanliness
- Compression readings over time
- Engine temperature and coolant level
Clean plugs and stable compression are good signals.
If you see big changes, talk to your tuner or builder and adjust jetting, timing or ratio if needed.
Storage Between Events Or Seasons
If the machine will sit:
- Treat the last tank with Quickshot.
- Run the engine long enough to pull treated fuel through the system.
- Check coolant strength and level before storing.
Dominator will continue to protect internal surfaces, while Quickshot and the coolant help guard the fuel and cooling systems.
Dominator Versus Other AMSOIL Two-Stroke Oils
Racing Oil Versus General-Use Oil
AMSOIL makes several two-stroke oils.
Each has its own job.
Dominator is focused on:
- Short, intense racing use
