Blue Marble or Amsoil?

[Roadkill1]

I'm running blue marble now, but tired of paying for the over priced oil. I've heard some people say it's not all that it's cracked up to be. Anyone have any insight on the diference between the two oils and any suggestions? I'm ridding a 900 polaris and it has a brand new motor. thanks for you help

I've seen bad experiences with both. The Amsoil was in a UBR 1150 and every 4-5 rides the powervalves were so gummed up that they would not work. The Blue Marble, turned to a grey gravely dust inside the motor and was not burning right at all. I agree though, oil is over priced. I run Klotz full synthetic in every sled I've got and love it, but it still costs too much.

I don't know if whittaker was running the Dominator or the Interceptor, but the Interceptor is the recommened oil for close to stock power valve motors. I run it in both my ski-doos and have for the past few years. My uncle runs the Dominator, which is recommended for racing applications or heavily modified motors, in his 900 Cat and has had 0 problems. By the way I have no experience with Blue Marble, and I have interned at AMSOIL INC. the past two summers, so I guess you could say I could be a little biased, but AMSOIL works for me.

X2. they both pretty much suck. klots or redline for synthetic. look up what indydan has to say about oil. very interesting read. if price is your issue then you will be really happy with what he has to say.

I have ran Interceptor in a 03 polaris mod- 4500 miles and counting, used from day one. Cleasned the powervalves once per season- very little build up.
Will run it in my new 800 rmk, hope it gives me the same service.

Never had a problem with Amsoil.

always ran Amsoil and was a dealer for it ..which meant it was everywhere ...

I heard Blue Marble smelled nicer though

Amsoil interceptor is great. I ran blue marble in my ubr 900 and it looked terrible when I'd take it apart. Never had any engine issue since I switched to amsoil, and when I do inspect it you could eat off of the internal parts. I think the reason lots of people think it is gummy is because your only supposed to run it 50:1 and most don't know this. I ran redline for a while and it is close to as good as amsoil but no quite as clean.

ran blue marble for a few thousand miles was always kinda gummy switched to amsoil pretty good results i'll stick with it, my friend runs klutz I don't like the smell of it

I have run amsoil dominator in a pol 700 mild mods (head, pipe, reeds,) simple bolt ons, and in my stock m7. I know that they say its for full out race motors, but it has been flawless for me and everything is always clean when you take it apart. Ran blue marble in another sled for a while because i got two gallons with the sled. Still have a gallon left, switched it out after the first gallon. Just help my buddy rebuild his 800 pol with 1200 miles on it ( broke crank end) and was not impressed with the scores in his cylinders. I know there not cold seize because he always warms up. He is running ves polaris.

I love my amsoil intercepter, never had a problem with it, actually probably saved me more than once! I will say one thing, my buddy bought a jug of Blue Marble, that is THE NASTIEST smelling crap right out of the jug, smells like an odd combo of fish oil. Not sure what it smells like burned, but NAST out of the jug!

I prefer Amsoil
