AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR 2-Stroke Oil

AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR 2-Stroke Oil – Protection For Modern Two-Stroke Power

AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR 100% Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil is built for today’s high-tech two-stroke engines. It is made for riders who push hard, expect quick response, and want their sled, bike or ATV to last.

INTERCEPTOR protects advanced engine designs like direct-fuel-injected (DFI) and electronic-fuel-injected (EFI) two-strokes. It also works in traditional carbureted engines, so you can use one oil across a whole fleet.

You can run it as injection oil or as a 50:1 premix (2.6 oz per U.S. gallon of gas), which keeps things simple if you own more than one machine.

Where AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Is Used

High-Performance Snowmobiles

INTERCEPTOR is best known as a snowmobile oil. It is designed for hard-ridden, modern sleds that see long pulls, high RPM and deep snow.

It is safe for and often used in:

• Ski-Doo® sleds with Rotax® E-TEC® engines
• Arctic Cat® machines with C-TEC2® engines
• Polaris® Liberty® and other late-model two-stroke engines

These engines use advanced injection and power-valve systems. They need an oil that protects at high temperature, yet keeps valves and pistons clean. INTERCEPTOR was built around those needs.

Two-Stroke Motorcycles And Dirt Bikes

INTERCEPTOR also works in many two-stroke motorcycles and dirt bikes where API TC or JASO FD oil is recommended.

It is a good fit for riders who:

• Trail ride at mixed throttle
• Run tight woods and technical single-track
• Want clean power-valve operation and low deposits

ATVs, PWCs And Other Two-Stroke Toys

You can use INTERCEPTOR in many two-stroke:

• ATVs
• Personal watercraft (PWCs)
• Some jet boats and small craft

If your owner’s manual calls for an API TC or JASO FD two-stroke oil, INTERCEPTOR is usually a strong match. Always confirm in the product guide or manual.

How INTERCEPTOR Fights Engine Wear

Synthetic Oil That Resists Burn-Off

Many cheap two-stroke oils burn away too quickly. When that happens, less oil is left to protect pistons, rings and bearings.

INTERCEPTOR uses a thermally stable synthetic base that resists burn-off. More oil survives the combustion process, which means more lubrication where it matters.

Strong Film Strength For Piston Protection

Inside a two-stroke, parts move fast and clearances are tight. INTERCEPTOR is formulated with excellent lubricity and film strength. That film helps:

• Reduce metal-to-metal contact
• Protect piston skirts from scuffing
• Guard ring lands and cylinder walls

Independent testing on Rotax E-TEC engines showed no piston skirt scuffing and no ring sticking after severe dyno and real-world riding, which confirms that protection.

Fast Cold-Weather Protection

Snowmobiles and winter ATVs must start in bitter cold. INTERCEPTOR has an exceptionally low pour point around –63°F (–53°C).

That low pour point helps oil:

• Flow quickly at startup
• Reach pistons and bearings faster
• Reduce wear in sub-zero conditions

If you ride in deep winter, this is a major advantage.

Keeps Engines Clean And Strong

Resists Harmful Deposits

Two-stroke engines can suffer from carbon deposits on:

• Piston crowns and ring lands
• Exhaust ports
• Power valves

INTERCEPTOR’s synthetic formula naturally resists heavy deposits. It is also fortified with high-temperature detergents and dispersants, which keep soot and by-products suspended so they can exit with the exhaust instead of sticking to parts.

The result is:

• Cleaner pistons and rings
• Better compression over time
• More consistent power

Helps Prevent Exhaust-Valve Sticking

Modern sleds and some bikes use exhaust power valves to adjust port timing. When these valves gum up, you lose power and throttle response.

INTERCEPTOR is specifically tuned to reduce power-valve sticking. Testing in Rotax E-TEC engines showed excellent ratings for exhaust-port and valve cleanliness after severe use.

Clean valves mean:

• Stronger low-end pull
• Sharper response off corners
• Less time spent cleaning parts by hand

Proven In Severe Testing

Dyno Torture Tests

AMSOIL ran INTERCEPTOR through 50 hours of severe-duty dyno testing in Rotax E-TEC engines. After testing, an independent ASTM rater inspected pistons, rings, cylinders and ports.

The oil earned top or perfect scores for:

• Piston skirt scuffing
• Ring sticking
• Cross-hatch wear in cylinder bores
• Exhaust port blocking

This shows that the oil protects under the kind of wide-open-throttle use aggressive riders actually deliver.

Thousands Of Real-World Miles

In a separate 3,469-mile trail-riding case study, pistons pulled from a Rotax E-TEC 800R engine showed:

• No skirt scuffing
• No ring sticking
• Very clean combustion surfaces

That kind of long-term result is exactly what riders want: more riding, less wrenching, and engines that keep their power season after season.

Runs On Freedom® Limited Snowmobile Warranty

AMSOIL backs INTERCEPTOR with the Runs On Freedom limited snowmobile warranty.

If you use INTERCEPTOR exclusively in a current-model-year or newer sled, AMSOIL covers engine repairs for up to two years or 5,000 miles (8,000 km) in the unlikely event of an oil-related failure.

Key points in simple terms:

• Use INTERCEPTOR as your only two-stroke oil in the sled
• Register and follow maintenance guidelines
• You gain extra peace of mind during those early years

Always read the full warranty terms before relying on coverage, but the program shows how confident AMSOIL is in this oil.

INTERCEPTOR vs Other Two-Stroke Oils

Compared To Basic Mineral Or Semi-Synthetic Oils

Cheaper oils can work in mild use. But they often:

• Burn off faster
• Leave more deposits
• Offer weaker cold-flow performance

By contrast, INTERCEPTOR:

• Uses full synthetic base oils
• Provides strong film strength under heavy load
• Keeps engines and valves cleaner
• Flows at very low temperatures

If you ride hard or own an advanced engine, the difference is easy to feel over time.

Compared To OEM-Branded Oils

Many sled and PWC makers sell their own synthetic oils. Those products are usually good, but they can be expensive and sometimes limited to specific dealers.

Independent tests and dealer comparisons show INTERCEPTOR is designed as a high-performance alternative to many OEM full-synthetic oils, including popular Ski-Doo, Arctic Cat and others.

Riders often choose INTERCEPTOR because it:

• Matches or exceeds OEM protection
• Controls power-valve deposits very well
• Can be used across multiple brands of machines

INTERCEPTOR vs AMSOIL DOMINATOR

AMSOIL also makes DOMINATOR two-stroke racing oil. DOMINATOR is aimed at full-race engines that run extremely rich fuel maps, very high RPM and short rebuild cycles.

In simple terms:

• INTERCEPTOR – built for high-performance trail and mountain riding, long engine life, clean valves, and warranty protection
• DOMINATOR – built for race engines that live at the limit and get torn down often

For most modern sleds and high-tech trail machines, INTERCEPTOR is the right match.

How To Use AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR

(Always follow your owner’s manual and the product guide.)

As Injection Oil

Most modern sleds, PWCs and many ATVs use an oil-injection system. For those:

• Fill the oil-injection tank with INTERCEPTOR
• Do not mix different oils in the same tank if you can avoid it
• Let the system meter the correct amount of oil for conditions

AMSOIL designs INTERCEPTOR to work very well in these systems, including advanced DFI engines.

As 50:1 Premix

INTERCEPTOR can also be used as a 50:1 premix, which equals 2.6 oz of oil per U.S. gallon of gas.

General notes:

• Measure oil carefully for consistent protection
• Use a clean container for mixing
• Shake to blend thoroughly before fueling the tank

Some older bikes, simple carb sleds and small engines are premix only. For those, INTERCEPTOR gives modern protection without changing your routine.

Break-In And Switching Oils

If you are breaking in a new engine, follow the factory break-in instructions. Some makers specify special break-in oils or richer fuel-to-oil ratios.

When switching from another oil to INTERCEPTOR:

• Try not to mix big amounts of different oils
• It is fine to run out the old oil, then refill with INTERCEPTOR
• Monitor smoke level, plug color and power as usual

If you have questions on a specific model, the AMSOIL product guide or a knowledgeable dealer can provide extra detail.

Who Should Choose AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR?

INTERCEPTOR is a strong fit if you:

• Own a modern two-stroke snowmobile with E-TEC, C-TEC2 or similar tech
• Ride hard and want top piston and ring protection
• Care about clean power valves and strong, consistent power
• Need one oil that can handle injection and 50:1 premix
• Ride in very cold weather and want easy starts and quick oil flow
• Appreciate a product that has been severely tested and backed by a warranty

If you just putt around a lake once a year, a basic oil might get by. But if you live to ride, hit the mountains, or hammer trails all season, AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR is designed for that level of use.

It helps your two-stroke stay strong, clean and responsive, so you can spend more time riding and less time worrying about what is happening inside the engine.
