I thought I would Re-post my specific MX2t results. BTW, I also have PWC mod experience.
In particular, my highly modified '94 Husky 360WXC dirt bike is prone to specific wear issues. The use of MX2t has extended engine beyond what other oils have been able to provide. The exhaust bridge area is a constant problem because it wears a groove in the rings, resulting in compression loss, blowby and piston damage. MX2t has increased the time between ring changes by a factor of more than 2. I have tried all sorts of other oils and ratio's in an attempt to fix this problem, MX2t is the ONLY oil that has shown and continues to show any improvement in engine life.
Also, crankshaft life is extended with the use of MX2t.
While the oil looks unimpressive and has no unique smell to get the posers interested, it works as advertised.

I've got a case of MX2T in my garage as of today.
MSparks..not to deflate your balloon but the Dominator/Am2000 has as much residue as the Yamalube. In the power valves and in the exhaust. It's not a big deal, if it performs well and it has up to this point. But it's not as clean as one my think. We never run it 100 to 1 or even 50 to 1, we run 40 to 1 because we do not need any kind of breakdown. It is a good oil but is quit messy in the pv's and exhaust.
I will try the MX2T this season and see how it goes. I have now done some hard internet-searching of the M1 oils. We will see how they do with a triple-piped 250hp beast.
BTW, this being used as pre-mix..this is ok? Correct?

Blano...are there any other websites that feature the use of MX2T in 2 strokes? Maybe a moto web that has testimonials and testing?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Would the MX2T be okay in my Polaris? I have been using Polaris' own synthetic, on the other hand I lunched my engine last year to the tune of a new $2000 crate motor and what was left looked like it didn't get enough oil. Mine has the variable rate oil injection and I have about a 15 minute idle through a no wake zone before I can open it up. So that probably didn't help.
On the new motor I run a little pre-mix as well and this year I'm moving to a new club farther downriver.
Sorry to run on.

And yes, that is one of the secrets of Mobil MX2T; the ability to provide superior lubrication without the skunge, build-up, residue, and varnish that most other 2 cycle oils provide. Especially in higher performance applications where the oil is 'pushed'..
A lot of R&D went into this oil for the racing formula bike two strokes and I remember talking with the then person responsible for the oils development and his elation over finally achieving pretty close to perfection.. Unfortunately Mobil just does not do a hype job on its oils, especially motorcycle..
It is a shame as all three of the oils are extraordinary products.

The MX2T meets both the JASO FC and ISO-L-EGD specifications. It should work very well for any sort of air/water cooled, high performance application.
Just to clarify, the best Amsoil product for these PWC and snowmobile engines is their Interceptor oil and NOT the Dominator. I'd only use the Dominator in air cooled, two stroke engines that run extremely hot. It has a high molecular weight ester basestock and won't thermally decompose cleanly at lower temps....This is particularly true if you insist on mixing at 40:1 or 32:1 and not 50:1 as recommended by Amsoil.

After the change in name, will it be available in gallons??? Why won`t they market a synthetic outboard oil???
The Polaris dealer told me I could run the Interceptor oil, which they sold...but they were out of stock.
I've been following all of these threads for quite some time. I have a few observations and then I'll ask a couple questions.
SEA-DOO syn is about $35 a gallon
MX2T is a little under $30
The correct Amsoil product for my 951 is about $20 delivered. The dominator is designed for high performance/racing applcations and leaves too much goo in my powervalves.
I recently lost an oil injector pump at and my motor locked up. After a long and drawn out process I started it and rode it. There was some very small smears on teh piston next to the exhaust port visible through the RAVE valve slot.
This was of some concern but my main worry was the crankshaft bearings. It's still too early to tell if they will have a shortened life, but I'm impressed that there wasn't catastrophic failure of the lower rod bearings. I was running AMSOIL Interceptor.
I'm sure the MX2T is a fine oil and may in fact be better than the AMSOIL but I'm not sure it warrants a 40% cost increase for my stock ROTAX motors.
I would really like to hear some updates on from the guy that was going to try MX2T. One post said it left too much goo, and several others say it burns clean. I wonder if that is because it was in aircooled vs. watercooled motors.

I've learned the hard way, if possible tow a seizure back and tear it down. Often aluminum find it's way into the ring land and holds the ring hard against bore, running it can tear the bore up worse. Usually a light seizure won't hurt the bottom end. Most importantly is to figure out what caused the seizure, have my doubts it was pump failure. The mikuni pump used by rotax has been very reliable from what I've seen. Seen them take the blame many times though.
The supply line barb broke off the pump draining the oil tank in the process. Technically that isn't an oil PUMP failure. I should have said oil delivery system. You are right, those pumps are evry good.
