YES. Using AMSOIL synthetic snowmobile oils has no effect on snowmobile warranties. A federal law called the Magnuson-Moss Act (1975) prevents original equipment manufacturers from putting conditions on warranties attached to any product or service identified by brand, trade or corporate name, unless the manufacturer provides that product or service free of charge. This means consumers have the freedom to use aftermarket products of their choice without fear of losing the original limited or implied warranty.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendation. In addition to grease rating, it is important to use the recommended thickener type (Calcium, Lithium, Aluminum, etc.). Grease compounds are not universally compatible with each other. In addition to following your vehicle’s periodic maintenance chart for grease service, it is good practice to refill fittings after using in extreme conditions such as mud and water. AMSOIL Synthetic Water Resistant Grease is recommended for ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles and boat trailers.

Most gasoline sold today includes some mild detergents for cleaning fuel systems. Because powersports vehicles are used in extreme terrain, conditions and weather, it is good practice to use a fuel system cleaner such as Quickshot SE Additive & Stabilizer periodically. In addition to the removal of accumulated deposits, Quickshot SE Additive & Stabilizer will stabilize fuel during storage and combat the corrosive tendencies of today’s ethanol fuels. AMSOIL Quickshot SE Additive & Stabilizer is recommended for small engines and powersports equipment.
