The different low-temp viscosity of the Amsoil and Rotax oils is pretty obvious. I used each of them within a couple days, recently, and the Rotax oil is quite viscous - somewhere near dish soap or syrup, while the Amsoil flows very freely. From a mixing perspective, I much prefer the Amsoil, as any...

Like most of these, the outer cosmetic sticker is worn. Fits slim to medium build - Junior drivers to slimmer adults.

A related suggestion for the shifter drivers in the club. 94 octane fuel is available at the Mobil station in Strathmore. Using this instead of 91 octane would allow you to go from a 50/50 mix to 35/65 race/pump fuel and still hit the same octane in the blended fuel. MS109 - which I understand is th...

Be prepared for the rain in the forecast for this weekend.

Yes. Viscosity is linear, but on a logarithmic axis. Instead of your lines being 50,100, 150, they’d be 2,4,8,16… to get straight lines.

Ya. Back to my earlier point about not much info being available. I had found the sheet you linked, but that was a safety document, not a spec sheet, so has limited value. The viscosity @40C number has me thinking its properties will be more like the Motul than Amsoil. To further complicate matters,...

Evan, Flash point indicates the temperature, above which there is enough vapour created by the substance to ignite (The temp. above which a lit match becomes a danger). Gasoline's is about -40C, so will ignite just about any time. Diesel is about 40C, so if you drop a match into diesel, it extinguis...

With Amsoil 2-stroke oil available at my local Canadian Tire, it's a no-brainer for me.

For Rotax, the Rotax-branded oil is spec., so running anything else on a race day technically risks a DQ. For our karts I've been running Amsoil to save a few bucks since we moved to Rotax, but now that Carson is seeing podiums more regularly, have moved to Rotax on race days as I don't want to have...
