How does the average sledder know they never had a problem with their oil? How long does the average sledder keep their sled?
My 2005 fusion (junk) had catastrophic engine failure.
One of my 2007 Switchback 600 burned down once.
My other 2007 Switchback 600 burned down twice.
My dealer told me that 600 motor is a very reliable engine. I had three engine failures in a two year period.
My dealer told me they believed my 2007s were an oil issue.
My 2009 Dragon 800 had catastrophic engine failure. It was so bad that a rebuild was impossible. Complete junk.
The one thing they ALL had in common was they all had Amsoil interceptor in them. Maybe NONE of these were oil related I really don't know. I know zero about oil. I am not bashing Amsoil. They are great community leader in our area and very well respected in the industry. I am currently running Interceptor in my sleds now. But now I am having doubts.
I always follow the manufactures break in procedures. And always bring them up to temp before riding. They have never seen a cover because if they are not on the snow they are in my covered trailer going some where or in my shop.
According to an supposedly independent test done by The Chemist from Hardcore sledder out of the top 25 oils listed, Dominator was rated 13th and Interceptor was not on the list.
FYI....
According to Amsoil (715-392-7101) Dominator is formulated for race sleds only.
