That' salesmanship 101..!!

It's good stuff! :thumbup:
I switched my 1992 Polaris XCR 440 over to it when we bored, stroked, piped, ported, and then bored the carbs on it once the warranty was off...
I ran it for fifteen years as an overachieving "520" that humbled a lot of machines with way more displacement. :thumbup:
Amsoil kept it running strong!

I like the video and I like Amsoil. But to be fair there are a few details that may not apply to our Spyders.

1- Crankshaft bearing failure has not been an issue on the Spyder regardless of the oil used (or any other bearing failure for that matter). Not to say that NO bearings have EVER failed on the Spyder, just saying it isn't an issue.
2- Most are not racing their Spyder on a regular basis.
3- Most are not getting the extreme HP out of their Spyder that these guys are getting out of their engine.

Still, I think it does make the point that the oil you use does make a difference.

Question:
Is Amsoil more expensive than the typical oils that are suggested for usage?
'Nuther question:
How much is "peace of mind" worth? :shocked:

According to the other test royal purple is way better than amsoil. I think I will switch to royal purple.

Let the "Oil War" continue.:banghead::banghead::banghead:


My Thoughts: With the use of any oil that meets the BRP specifications, and changed with filters within the guidelines provided. the lower end of the motor will outlast the useful life of the Spyder.

Just my opinion

Good grief... Somebody please take the pitcher of Kool-Aid off of the table. No lubricant is a cure for a flexy crank causing "bearing issues", ( what issue? where are the details?) even if Erik is paid to say so.

I've got an idea:
let's move on to Helmet usage and handgun ownership....
they are always guaranteed to generate lots of friendly disucssion! :gaah::gaah::gaah: :roflblack:

You mean Amsoil doesn't stiffen your crankshaft! :yikes: Say it ain't so, Joe! :roflblack:

+1. It's always worked well for me too. Even in our modified skis that are pushing over 9k rpms for extended periods running flat out.
