I just got confirmation from Amsoil Tech, that despite the label on the bottle reading "Recommended for TC-W3, API TC applications" that their HP Injector oil is "Ashless" and I should be running their Interceptor oil which is "low Ash". I have about 10 hours on this ski with the wrong oil, I cleaned the RAVE valves, they were pretty gummed up. Besides changing the oil and the oil filter, what else do I need to be worried about?

I just swithched my 2nd ski to the Injector oil 2 weeks ago too, so $60 in oil I cant use...

Incidentally, if anyone else is as confused about what these oil designation mean as I was, I found the attached article which explains things pretty well:

If the engines still run fine, and the compression is good, dont worry about it. Run the interceptor and happy riding. I use the interceptor myself.
