Snowmobile Oils & Chemicals

Whether you own an ATV, side-by-side, jet ski, or other powersports vehicle, you can't do without quality oils and chemicals that are necessary for its proper operation and long service life. All of the abovementioned types of vehicles have their own peculiarities, however, all lubricants and hydraulic fluids can be grouped depending on their application. For instance, motor oils can be divided into two main categories, those used in four-stroke motors and oils for two-strokers. Although two-stroke engines are not as modern, they are still widespread and need special oils to be mixed with gasoline.

Viscosity according to SAE classification and oil base (mineral, synthetic, or semi-synthetic) also belong to important parameters to consider when it comes to choosing engine oil. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations about viscosity and service intervals and take the season and vehicle application into account. For example, if you're into racing, you may need a fully synthetic product having somewhat higher viscosity, which better resists heat and minimizes wear at high revs. For average use, even mineral oil by a reputable brand reliably protects the engine from all the negative factors.

As for transmission oils, they are usually thicker than those designed for the motor and they work in less challenging conditions. Besides smooth gear shifting, their main goals are to reduce friction, protect from corrosion, and remain liquid at freezing temps. Apart from engine and gear oils, you may need some specific cleaners and lubricants. Thanks to their compositions, chain cleaners will help you get rid of an old grease mixed with dirt. Available as aerosols, chain lubes use patented formulas with molybdenum, Teflon, and other substances. Besides effective lubrication, many of them create a strong film resistant to heat, water wash-off, and chemical contaminants.

By minimizing abrasive wear, such products make sure the drive chain and sprockets last long and remain free from rust. There is also another category of products many riders are not familiar with – special and multipurpose greases. They are very useful for wheel hubs, bearings, and other moving parts of the suspension, drivetrain, and brakes, which are exposed to moisture and abrasion. If they are changed in due time, these lubes will help keep all these parts in perfect shape and extend their service life. A wide assortment of oils and greases can be found in our online store, along with coolants, brake fluids, and fuel additives.

The most basic vehicle maintenance typically includes regular cleaning and checking the fluids, but before you start doing all this, you need high-quality lubricants that are safe for your vehicle. To ensure the proper operation of your ATV, UTV, snowmobile, etc., choose from a comprehensive line of oils and chemicals showcased on our website. Engine oil, fork fluid, air filter cleaners, chain lubes, and much more – you can find a great variety of products to perform periodic maintenance. We carry lubricants from some of the most trusted brands, so you can be sure they are second to none in quality and won’t harm your vehicle.

High-quality lubrication is crucial not only for the efficient, productive, and lasting operation of your snowmobile’s engine but also for reducing the negative impact of its exhaust on the environment. The primary function of snowmobile oils is to provide a thin fluid film on metal surfaces of the engine's moving parts to prevent direct contact and reduce wear. Some formulas include additives designed to prevent corrosion when your machine sits idle during the off-season. In two-stroke snowmobiles, the motor oil goes through combustion chambers where it mixes with fuel to ensure the most complete and clean burn of the mixture.

Premium snowmobile oils offered in our store allow you to avoid the buildup of combustion deposits on spark plugs, piston rings, pistons, exhaust valves, and ports while also minimizing or eliminating exhaust smoke and foul odor completely. Note that snowmobiles require specialized motor oils designed for cold weather use. Not all types of oil utilized in motorcycles, personal watercraft, and other 2-stroke engines can work perfectly in your motor sled, especially if it has variable exhaust valves. When it is time to change the oil in your snowmobile engine, the most reasonable option is to go with the type of oil specified by your machine’s manufacturer.

By using the oil that does not meet the specifications of your engine, you can void your warranty coverage while also causing poor performance and engine problems. However, if you have been modifying your motor to gain more power and reduce emissions, or if you have tweaked it for the use of more affordable consumables, then you should be careful not to use products which are not suitable for high-performance snowmobile engines. You have spent a lot of money on upgrades, so there are no good reasons to start cutting down expenses on snowmobile oils and chemicals. Visit our store to find only high-quality products by reputable manufacturers.

Be sure to use the oil with low enough pour point – the lowest temperature at which the oil can move under the action of gravity. The majority of snowmobile oils are formulated to ensure trouble-free engine starts at minus 40 degrees. For high-performance applications, it is recommended to use full synthetic oils which are known for their great lubrication and wear protection properties. Also, they can be easily mixed with gasoline. Even though ester-based synthetic snowmobile oils are a little more expensive than their mineral counterparts, they can ensure the lowest pour point, smoke-free and odorless exhaust, and no combustion residue on power valves.

Besides snowmobile engine oils and additives, our online store offers a wide assortment of other chemicals needed for you to keep your motor sled in a perfectly operable condition for years to come. Here you can find chain lubes and cleaners, brake fluids, engine coolants, suspension oils, transmission fluids and oils, greases, fuel additives, air filter maintenance products, and much more. Also, we offer lubricants, spark plug and contact cleaners, silicone detailers, protection sprays, gasket sealing and waterproof greases, and other chemicals by well-known brands such as Yamaha, Royal Purple, Valvoline, Lucas Oil, Motul USA, PJ1, IPONE, and many others.
