Royal Purple's Snow 2-C is a high performance engine oil that improves performance and reduces wear in both standard and high performance 2-cycle snowmobile gasoline engines. The synthetic solvency of Royal Purple Snow 2-C keeps spark plugs and exhaust ports clean for maximum engine efficiency. This engine cleanliness, combined with Snow 2-C's low co-efficient of friction promotes increased horsepower and engine speed. Snow 2-C is ideally suited for snowmobile applications due to its low temperature fluidity and pumpability for cold weather service. Snow 2-C is formulated with Royal Purple's proprietary Synerlec additive technology, which protects rings, bearings and cylinder walls from metal-to-metal contact and guards against scuffing, galling and welding, which can occur in severe conditions.
Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.
2-Stroke Engine OilThis oil is specifically designed for 2-stroke (or 2-cycle) engines. 2-stroke engines are typically "total-loss lubrication" engines, meaning that this oil will burn up in the combustion chamber when the engine is on and will need to be replaced regularly. Common uses of 2-stroke oil are some motorcycles, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, marine outboard motors, and other small-engine devices.
Full Synthetic OilThis oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil.
