Likewise, people ask, how often should a snowmobile engine be rebuilt?

Snowmobile 2-stroke motors will last 10,000-20000 miles depending on model and how well it is taken care of before they need either a top end rebuild, or a bottom end rebuild. You have about the same chances of blowing the motor at 10 miles as at 7500 miles.

Do snowmobiles need oil changes?

Amsoil is a good one. Amsoil synthetic is a good one to use or any good synthetic will work. I would imagine that any auto grease should work, it works on your auto in the exact same temps that your riding your sled in.
