I run Amsoil Interceptor in my sled. Its run that since new, now has 5500 miles. I would like to try Klotz but I really can't see switching the oil now after running the same oil for 5500 miles

I think I might just keep running citgo stuff, at least I'll talk to my dealers and see if I can get some of the oils for decent prices.

I have not had any trouble with the citgo, I have run down to the 20s below and not a problem with it, and like I said, I have been told its the same stuff as the yamalube, but half the price.

I use the Artic Blue from Fleet Farm, can usually get it for about $15.00 a gallon on sale. Never had any problems and it needs to be cheap for how much mine burns. Heard it was actually made for the Yamaha's years ago...
Good oil

I have heard nothing but good about Klotz, even from some old racers in my area, they used to be sponsored by Amsoil but he said they dumped that out and put klotz in the amsoil jugs!!

Ipone, I love it and it smells great. If I get bored during the summer I will mix up a gallon of gas w/ Ipone and put it in my chainsaw or weedwhacker so I can smell it. It reminds me of sledding hahaha. Also never had a problem with it but then again i've never had a problem when I ran castrol in my old xcr.

amsoil dominator in the slo pro
Owning a race sled is like having a totally hot girlfriend..... All of your friends want to see it, feel it and check it out..... They all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!

I run Amsoil Interceptor. I talked to bobby penders at watercross and he said he runs Amsoil because that's the only thing that'll hold his sled together.
