AMSOIL Dominator Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil

Description

Dominator Synthetic 2-Cycle Racing Oil

Racing 2-cycle oil with an emphasis toward high-horsepower and modified racing or trail motors. Contains higher viscosity base oils for best overall protection and additives for higher operating temperatures. Injector use or 50:1 pre-mix. For snowmobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, PWC, go-carts and racing outboard motors.

Race-Proven Benefits

  • Excellent film strength for high heat, high-rpm motors
  • Anti-friction formula for maximum power
  • Burns clean; helps prevent ring sticking and plug fouling
  • Protects coated and non-coated racing pistons

Excellent Lubricity and Film Strength
High-performance and race-designed two-cycle engines operate under severe conditions. They are modified for higher compression ratios, higher rpm and leaner combustion, all of which increase heat and pressure. High heat can quickly burn off light oils and cause rapid piston expansion, decreasing piston-to-cylinder wall clearances and increasing the likelihood of piston scuffing and seizure. High pressure can exceed the film strength of low-viscosity oils, which promotes crankshaft bearing wear and pitting.

DOMINATOR is purpose-built for outstanding film strength and lubricity. It is engineered with carefully selected, higher-viscosity synthetic base oils to withstand the high heat and pressure common to high-performance and racing applications. DOMINATOR's anti-friction chemistry is race-proven to provide an extra measure of protection against piston scuffing and bearing wear. See teardown photos below.

Outstanding Cleanliness
The oil and fuel burned in the two-cycle combustion process leave destructive deposits on the pistons, rings and in the combustion chamber. Excessive deposits can lead to catastrophic engine problems, including ring sticking, exhaust port blocking and pre-ignition.

AMSOIL DOMINATOR is formulated with clean-burning synthetic base oils and powerful high-temperature detergent additives for exceptional deposit control. It helps prevent the power-robbing carbon deposits that cause ring sticking, exhaust port blocking and pre-ignition. AMSOIL DOMINATOR is optimized for severe service.

RACING IS RESEARCH™
AMSOIL disassembled the Rotax motor from Scheuring Speed Sports' Ski-Doo race snowmobile ridden by Robbie Malinoski during the 2010/2011 professional snocross tour. Both pistons revealed minimal wear and were suitable for continued use. AMSOIL DOMINATOR delivered outstanding protection for Malinoski's Ski-Doo in the most severe environment.

Applications
DOMINATOR is recommended for use in high performance stock or modified two-cycle motors, including air- or liquid-cooled snowmobiles, personal watercraft, motorcycles (moto X), ATVs, go-carts and outboard motors*. Good for use with coated or non-coated pistons, high-octane racing fuels and exhaust power valves. Compatible with most other two-cycle oils; however, mixing oils should be minimized.

Use in oil-injected and pre-mix applications where API TC oils are specified. In pre-mix applications, DOMINATOR delivers outstanding protection at 50:1 pre-mix ratios (2.6 oz. oil per U.S. gallon of gas), although many racers modify the mix ratio to suit their setup. Not suitable for use with alcohol or nitro-methane fuels.

* Not suitable for long-term use in outboard motors as a TC-W3 type oil, although excellent as a race oil for short-term use where motors are periodically inspected.
