TE/TC Amsoil premixes

My bro and i been reading up on flash points for oils and unburned spooge. Any you guys use Dominator,Saber or Interceptor? Whats your thoughts?

I'm using dominator. After speaking with them on the phone they convinced me. They have extensive testing using the 300 engine. 50 to 1

Interceptor 32:1.

I have been very happy with in in my 125's.

Later,

I wonder if were reading too much into flash point tests, that are conducted WITHOUT a 50:1 mixture of 94 octane gasoline.... That flash point is gonna be a hell of a lot lower with gas!!....just saying
I would think the easiest way to get rid of sploog is to have a properly operating engine, specifically carb jetting.
I was having issues with with some spooging on my older Husky and a worn out Bing carb. Changed to a new properly jetted Mikuni and vola....no more sploog......same oil and gas mixture

also looking at the different flashpoints for different oils they also came up with numbers by using different testing methods....closed cup vs open cup and European standards which are totally different also.
I guess in the end, what ever works for you!

i wouldnt read too much into flash points. i use an oil with extremely high flash point and do not have any problem with spooge. it has more to do with jetting, oil ratio, and what rpm ranges you ride at..

the amsoil is good oil, burns very clean.

Have gotten amazing engine life with both Dominator or Interceptor. Spooge is typically a function of combustion temps. If your jetting isn't optimal for how you are using the motor it will affect the combustion temps one way or the other and we mostly err on the side of rich=spooge. It is really difficult to get a 2T to be perfectly jetted at all throttle and demand situations with a standard carb from one day to the next much less with altitude variations. This is why the metering rod carbs have found such a positive following.

Back on topic, I would recommend Amsoil 2T oils to anyone.

I'm running a lectron for the record. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier. I didn't have the time to include the info yesterday. Tbh, I only have a few hours on the bike being it's new and winter is still in full swing here. Mid March, if I'm lucky will show the carb and spooge results

I've been using Dominator and Interceptor @ 40:1 in every 2 stroke I own including chain saws, leaf blowers and weed eaters for the past 10 years. If your jetting is spot on neither will spooge but if you like to putt around a bit and let your exhaust cool then Interceptor would probably be a better choice. I've mixed the two together with good results as well and recently posted pics in the 2 stroke forum of my top end apart after 300+ hours. A ring would have been enough for another 100+ hours but I put a piston in so not to worry about wear on the intake side of the skirt. In my mikuni carb YZ125 I tried mixing Dominator at 25:1 just to see if it might run better and it did give it a slight boost in power but I had to ride it like an A rider or it would not completely burn and it wasn't worth the extra expense using almost twice the oil. With a Lectron I see no difference since there is no transition in carb circuits it's clean no matter the oil or the speed I ride. I get a short term 6 month Amsoil dealer subscription and then stock up on a 3 year supply of oil since no local dealer will carry the oil, this is the only downside to me and it may not be the case in your area.

Yes my local NAPA guy will wait till demand put riders money together and save on shipping of Dominator. I use motul now and switching to Dominator soon. I bought castor to use once in a whil fir smell. I bought jd jet kit so my jetting might be better than manual. Thanks guys.
300hrs on a piston? Incredible Lankydoug

I use dominator 50:1 in everything.

I have just switched, from Interceptor to Dominator. I mix 50:1. The reasoning is, the TE300 seems to run hotter than my Gas Gas 300. I put 600 hours on the Gas Gas. I did the top end every 150 hours as preventive maintenance. Bottom end at 450 and it still runs good. I should mention I have an Lectron carb on the GG.

Wow dude

nice report!

Amsoil Interceptor 40:1. I run one number hotter on spark plug (NGK BR9EG now BR8EG) and that eliminated the oil I was getting on the plug & spooge too.

Wouldnt 50:1 solve this?

Not necessarily, it could actually make it worse. Spooge is usually from a low combustion temperature. Low combustion temperature is usually caused by the air/fuel ratio being too rich. Changing from 40:1 to 50:1 actually adds more fuel making the jetting richer, causing even lower combustion temps.

Changing the plug to a hotter plug may help raise the combustion temperature, but it might burn a hole in the piston on extended high rpm runs.

Later,

I wonder if switching to a br8 would be better all around for my 300

I heard spooge can be needle issue

Spooge mostly comes from being too rich in the needle and pilot jet.

Where are you located in Ohio HS507?

Yes I agree with this, but other things cause it to spooge. Running a gear high and low RPM's cause it to spooge and the amount of squish between your piston and your head, can also cause it to spooge.

If I'm riding fast trails and twisting the throttle= very little spooge. If I am riding tight technical trails, a gear high= lots of spooge.

Don't worry about the spooge, if you like the throttle response and the bike is working well for your riding style, then all is good!
