Amsoil Dominator In The PRO

Stick with the Interceptor... Shouldn't be hard to get in your area.
actually when indydan did my motor work he told me to use citgo sea and sno, semi synthetic with good lube qualities, always used it on my old sleds with no issues, now using it on my new ones with good results, no build up, no issues

So if they say your engine is a "race" engine why would you want to run dominator instead. What is defines as a "race" engine or modified engine? If you are running a turbo would dominator be a better choice. I like red better than yellow does that matter?
DOMINATOR® Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil (TDR)
DOMINATOR®, an AMSOIL exclusive formulation, lubricates and protects high-performance two-cycle motors, both on and off the track. High-performance motors, particularly those that are modified, operate hotter and at higher RPM than recreational motors, and they need good oil for peak performance. DOMINATOR is engineered for racing. It has the right film strength and clean-burning properties for “on the edge” operation.* Not suitable for long-term use in outboard motors as a TC-W3 type oil, although excellent as a race oil for short-term use where motors are periodically inspected.
•Provides excellent film strength for high heat, high RPM motors
•Reduces friction for maximum power
•Recommended for use with coated or non-coated racing pistons
•Suitable for use with exhaust power valves
•Recommended for use with high octane racing gas
•Burns clean; helps prevent ring sticking and plug fouling
•Provides excellent protection at 50:1 pre-mix or in injection system
See Article: Two-Cycle Engine Applications and Lubrication Needs
Super Film Strength
High-performance two-cycle motors have high compression ratios, which significantly increase combustion chamber heat and crankshaft bearing pressures. Hot combustion processes quickly burn off and evaporate light oils and cause rapid piston expansion, decreasing piston-to-cylinder wall clearances. This promotes piston scuffing and possible seizure, and increased pressure on crankshaft bearings promotes metal-to-metal contact, wear and pitting.
High heat and pressures require tough oil with better film strength and more lubricity. DOMINATOR, constructed with AMSOIL heavy synthetic oil, handles high heat better than mineral oils and provides improved film strength and lubricity. DOMINATOR reduces friction and provides an extra measure of protection against piston scuffing and crankshaft bearing wear.
Clean Burning
High combustion processes require the proper additives and oils to control deposits. DOMINATOR contains strong, high-temperature detergent additives and highly pure AMSOIL synthetic oil. It helps prevent deposits that cause ring sticking, plug fouling and exhaust port blocking. DOMINATOR is an optimized product for severe service.Applications (2-Cycle Recommendations Chart)
DOMINATOR is recommended for use in high performance stock or modified two-cycle motors, including air or liquid cooled snowmobiles, personal watercraft, motorcycles (Moto X), ATVs, go-carts and outboard motors*. Good for use with coated or non-coated pistons, high-octane racing fuels and exhaust power valves. Compatible with most other two-cycle oils, however, mixing oils should be minimized.
Use at 50:1 pre-mix ratios (2.6 oz. oil per U.S. gallon of gas) or as injection oil where JASO FC or API TC oils are specified. Not suitable for use with alcohol or nitro-methane fuels.* Not suitable for long-term use in outboard motors as a TC-W3 type oil, although excellent as a race oil for short-term use where motors are periodically inspecte
Good Morning,
Basically, Dominator is designed for on the edge, wringing everything out race motors that will see common tear down for inspection. Focus is on High temp, high compresion high octane fueled engines.
I would expect this oil to be less formulated for longterm protection, ie rust inhibitors, and it is not designed to work optimaly at lower operating temps.
Dominator is great oil that I believe it to be designed for uses that my particular demands and riding style would not take advantage of. I don't wring every ounce of performance out of my engines and I don't make super long hard runs up chutes where I'm subjecting my engine to failure limits.
I use Interceptor in my sleds and have for years with not one oil related issue at all. It is a great, dependable oil that eliminates me having any worries about lubrication. Bag

You lost me. Which is which? Or are they both designed for modified or race motors?
Sorry, trying to do too many things at once . . . I'll go fix my post.
Dominator = Hot, beefed race motors.
Interceptor = 90% or our sleds.
Thanks crf!

Bagger you mean thinking and typing??? I run used fryer oil smells good and does not pollute also keeps my sled clean from all the neighborhood dogs always licking it.
I have run amsoil in all my sleds at some time or another I have tried blue marble when everyone thought that was the best=dirty valves.I ran ves gold was happy but to $$$ I tried to run red line but had a hard time finding it so I just went back to amsoil became a dealer again and now I am happy, clean valves,smells good to me,easy to get so I guess it is the best oil for me.
I do not remember of ever hearing of a engine going down from bad oil it usually stems from something else failing.

I've gotten better, I can usually think and type these days, what threw me for the loop this morning was trying to think, type and drink a cup of coffee . . . . you know what they say, if you don't get stuck, your not pushing yourself!!
Thank you. I think I'll go back to Interceptor now!
I would go back with confidance, it is a great oil and will serve you well.
