Re: 2 stroke oil recomendation
Cheap oil will carbon up your ring grooves on the piston and eventually cause the rings to stick. When the rings stick, they loose their sealing capabilities. This then causes blowby of hot combustion gasses which can overheat the sides of the piston and may cause a seizure, especially under full throttle. Periodic decarb treatments will mitigate this, but the best solution is to use a quality TC-W3 certified oil that is a synthetic ester base. It is important to use TC-W3 rated oils because they contain rust inhibitors. I myself use Motul products and have noticed not only reduced smoking but they also are significantly cleaner than petroleum based oils when it comes to power robbing carbon deposits. In short, you get what you pay for; protect your investment and realize the benefits.
