Scratching, which is not lubricant-related, refers to the alteration of the skirt surface by fine particles suspended in the lubricant, fuel, air or embedded in a surface. Scuffing, which is lubricant-related, appears as a matte finish. INTERCEPTOR completely prevented piston skirt scuffing, demonstrating excellent lubricity.

INTERCEPTOR effectively protected the pistons from wear and limited removal of the piston coating.
The piston rings earned perfect merit ratings of 10 and showed no signs of sticking, confirming the lubricant’s strong cleanliness properties.

Results
To protect against preignition and poor performance, two-stroke oils must resist piston crown deposits caused by the elevated temperatures inside the combustion chamber. INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil excelled at limiting deposit formation, with piston crowns earning high ratings.

Conclusion
AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil meets or exceeds the increased performance needs of Rotax E-TEC engines. In demanding, real-world conditions, the lubricant completely prevented piston skirt scuffing
and ring sticking. The results can be extrapolated to conclude the wear protection and deposit control extends to Polaris®, Arctic Cat® and other makes and models of two-stroke snowmobile engines as well.


This case study also provides in-field confirmation of the results published in A Study of INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil for Ski-Doo® Rotax® E-TEC® Engines (G3039), in which INTERCEPTOR prevented piston skirt scuffing and piston ring sticking in a Rotax E-TEC 800R engine operated under extreme conditions for 50 hours (sufficient time to replicate an entire riding season).

INTERCEPTOR is Warranty Secure®, keeping your factory warranty intact. INTERCEPTOR is a high performance replacement for BRP’s more-expensive XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil and is backed by the
AMSOIL Limited Warranty (G1363).

Overview

Since purchasing his 2011 Ski-Doo® TNT snowmobile new in December 2010, Jerry Springer of Ft. Wayne, Ind. has used AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR® Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil exclusively. The snowmobile’s Rotax® E-TEC® 800R engine uses targeted oil-injection technology that delivers a smaller amount of oil at exact times to specific locations in the engine. Because it uses a leaner gas-to-oil mixture than other engines, robust oils with increased lubricity and cleanliness properties are recommended. Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP®), the manufacturer of Ski-Doo snowmobile’s, leads consumers to believe that only its more-expensive XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil is capable of providing the required level of protection. In fact, the snowmobile arrived from the factory with an  attached notice recommending XPS-2 Synthetic 2-Cycle Oil exclusively. Personnel at the Ski-Doo dealership also notified Springer that BRP strongly  recommends only its own oil be used. Springer, however, chose to use AMSOIL INTERCEPTOR Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil. “I have used AMSOIL for years with  no issues,” he said. “The snowmobile has not experienced one whisper of a problem.”

Riding Conditions
Approximately 95 percent of the snowmobile’s miles are accumulated on groomed trails throughout Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The remainder are accumulated in off-trail riding. High-speed, high-rpm driving is common, with frequent speeds of 50-80 mph. When conditions allow, Springer operates the snowmobile at speeds of 85-100+ mph. Trail rides routinely span 150-200 miles per day.
Maintenance Practices Following each ride, the snowmobile is thoroughly washed and blown/wiped dry. A visual inspection is performed to verify overall mechanical integrity. The chaincase oil and motor oil reservoirs are checked and filled as needed. Depending on mileage, the primary clutch is removed, cleaned and inspected. All suspension components are greased as needed.

Recall Notice
In the fall of 2011, Ski-Doo recalled several of its snowmobile’s, including the model owned by Springer, due to potential failure of the piston ring locating pins that prevent the rings from rotating. The recall required replacement of both pistons, providing the opportunity to determine whether or not INTERCEPTOR provided the level of protection required by the Rotax E-TEC engine.
With 3,469 miles on the snowmobile, an authorized Ski-Doo dealer replaced both pistons as stipulated in the recall notice. The pistons exhibited no scuffing. “The mechanic said the pistons looked brand new,” said Springer. For additional confirmation, the pistons and rings were rated for scuffing, sticking and other distress by an independent ASTM-calibrated rater using the appropriate techniques and rating scales as defined in the Coordinating Research Council, Inc. Deposit Rating Manual No. 20. Components were assigned either a merit rating on a scale of 0-10, with 10 representing no distress, or a percentage rating, with 0.00 percent
representing no distress.

Subject: Two-cycle exhaust power valves

Technical Service Bulletin

OBJECTIVE:

To bring to light the existence and purpose of a special mechanism referred to as an exhaust power valve used in the two-cycle industry to control the size of the exhaust port.

ISSUES:

The need in certain two-cycle engine designs to service the exhaust power valve

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION:

When dealing with basic two-cycle engine design, the size of the exhaust port can be extremely important. A large port tends to provide freer flow offering additional performance at higher engine speeds. Due to loss of fresh air/ fuel charge at lower speeds however, horsepower and torque are often compromised when a larger exhaust port is utilized. Smaller ports on the other hand, tend to offer better low speed performance which diminishes as engine speeds increase due to their restrictive nature. The most desirable situation would be one in which the size of the exhaust valve would change with engine speed. Smallest at low speeds with a gradual increase in size as the engine RPMs increase.

The concept of an adjustable exhaust port size is nothing new. Variations have been around since the 1970s and in mass production in the motorcycle industry since the early 1980s. In recent years, this type of exhaust port has become increasingly popular within the motorcycle and snowmobile industries.

Most commonly referred to as a power valve, its operation is quite simple. Though the actual function of the valve will vary with design, the general principle is the same. At low engine speeds, the power valve is in a closed position, covering a portion of the exhaust port. In this position, low and lower speed performance is maximized. As the engine reaches higher operating speeds, the valve is retracted creating a larger exhaust port. The end result is a maximization of high-speed operation without sacrificing low end and mid-range performance.

The movement of the valve can be controlled in several differing ways. Some designs use exhaust or cylinder pressure to activate the valve while others use an electro/mechanical method. A third style uses a direct cable or mechanical linkage to operate the valve. Though each design has its own benefits and disadvantages, all suffer from a similar problem. That problem, is that they all require periodic maintenance.

With the valve being placed in the exhaust stream, it must function in an extreme environment. Not only must it deal with high temperatures but also exposure to a constant flow of contaminates. Carbonaceous material, un-burnt fuel and heavy oil residue can form deposits on the valve.

As the level of these deposits build, the movement of the valve will become sluggish. Eventually the deposit level will reach a point at which the valve will stop moving. One should keep in mind that the level of force available to activate these valves is minimal. Even moderate restriction due to deposit formation can render the valve in-operable. In order to maintain peak performance, periodic maintenance is required. Within the snowmobile industry, some recommend that valve maintenance (cleaning) be performed as frequently as after every 500 – 1,000 miles of operation.

Subject: Two-cycle exhaust power valves

This may seem quite frequent but in many cases it is not. The length of time however, will vary depending on two major factors. The first is how the equipment is used. power valve equipped engines that are subjected to extensive idle or operation at continuous low speeds tend to require more frequent service. Secondly, the type and brand of oil used in the equipment can be a significant factor affecting the frequency of needed service. AMSOIL Interceptor synthetic two-cycle oil for instance, has demonstrated superiority in the area of maintaining power valve cleanliness. Not only has this shown through in bench tests but also in the real world of field demonstration. At intervals designated by the equipment manufacturer or when engine performance issues arise, the power valves should be serviced. The actual service process will vary from one design to another hence one should refer to the individual manufacturer servicing instructions. If you are a consumer and you have any doubt as to how to properly service the valve, it should be left to a qualified technician. As the valve is being disassembled, one should pay close attention to it’s ability to move within it’s housing. The valve should move freely and with little or no resistance. If a high level of resistance is noted or the valve is frozen in place, you can rest assured the valve was negatively effecting engine performance. Also keep in mind that if a valve has been in use for any length of time, it will have some discoloration and deposit formation. The presence of deposits is not of great concern. The type of deposit and the degree to which they hinder movement is more important. Hard dry carbon is worse than soft oily deposits. In other words, do not expect the valve to appear shinny and new. When removing or cleaning, care should be taken not to mar or scratch the surfaces of the valve. Damage to the surface of the valve can result in restricting it’s movement once reinstalled. Residue and deposits should therefore be removed using a non-metallic scraper and/or a cleaner such as AMSOIL Power Foam. Cleaners such as this help to dissolve residue and loosen deposits without damaging critical surfaces.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

In high performance two-cycle engines, power valve maintenance will always be a concern . The use of AMSOIL Interceptor synthetic two-cycle however can dramatically reduce the need and ease of such servicing. When servicing is required, AMSOIL Power Foam can assist in providing safe and effective cleaning. The end result is more consistent performance with less effort and cost.
