Re: 100% synthetic 2 stroke oil

Hi all<br /><br />I'm going to move this discussion in a different direction.<br /><br />I was recently buying oil for my outboard at a Shell gas station. They only had the little containers, no 1 litre bottles. I asked if they were hiding in back, but no apparently they're not available.<br /><br />The explaination is that Shell is combining their four-stroke and two-stroke marine oils into one retail product.<br /><br />Has anyone else heard of this, or understand how this could be done. I've always assumed that you couldn't mix the applications this way.<br /><br />David

Hey Sloopy,<br /><br />Pour some synthetic oil in a frying pan and turn up the heat...check what happens<br /><br />Now do the same thing with regular oil and you'll notice it doesn't withstand the heat as well as synthetic.<br /><br />Simple test, just proves proves that synthetics viscosity is tougher.

After 1100 hours on my engine swicth to the penzoil blend, Couldn,t get my regual oil,<br />I used four gallons of it and had one of my hi speed jets clog and blow two head gaskets.Took the last two gallons back to the store today!!!<br />Good Luck<br />

Bluefish<br />Just couious, How were you able to determine it was the Oils fault? Maybe you need an Inline Fuel filter or a better one?

Re: 100% synthetic 2 stroke oil

I'm thinkin' about switching to the Pennzoil blend and kinda like Jango. How did you assertain it was the oil's fault the carb stopped up? How long since a carb overhaul?<br />Just curious.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Re: 100% synthetic 2 stroke oil

Well the fuel filter was clean and it does not take much to partway clog a jet I know that. As for the head gaskets their was no overheating and they went with in two weeks of each other, can I say for sure it was the oil no. But the gaskets looked fine not a mark on them did the oil let the engine get a little to hot??? My be just a coincidence or my be its not a good idea to change to a synthetic oil on and older engine I just know for my own peace of mine I switched back..<br />
