Gil009 ,Instead of just mocking and agitating the topic ,why not just offer some of your own advise as to the use of two cylcle oils.Badgering by making driveby statements with no other input to enforce your point is meaningless IMO.

Times are changing in the oil industry as far as what the outboard manufacturers are recommending and producing(or having bottled for them), and most all of the top oils now are either full or partial synthetic. The trend is growing rapidly to the side of blends.

I'll agree with OB -- again. We've tested motors for years and the Pennzoil Blend has become our standard. For several reasons. It smokes very little, has an excellent burn pattern, protects as good as anything we've tested and is very inexpensive. A gallon is less than $10 at any X-mart. As inexpensive, or close to it, as most brand name dino TCW-III. <br /><br />At one time or another our testing requires that we trash a motor on purpose. Overheating, advanced timing etc., but the Pennzoil Blend has never broken down and has always proved to offer superior protection.

Just looking at the Amsoil advertisment leads one think their oil is TCW-3 certified. I'm sure they want us to think that too. Very slick advertising considering they aren't really NMMA certified as a TCW-3 (NEVER was NMMA certified either). Makes me wonder what else about their oil is using the same slick advertising? Did you hear they have a bridge for sale too?

How long's the bridge?<br />With the dollar so competitive, it'd be worth us Eurofiles drving over and buying your unwanted goodies!

Lets see.... accused of mocking and agitating....<br /><br />what is on this thread....<br /><br />1. Old wives tales...<br />2. Urban Legends....<br />3. Gross mis-information<br />4. Uneducated consumers<br />5. Patent brand loyalty regardless of facts...<br /> <br />now why should I add to any of this....?<br /><br />Drive by is much safer.... I will add that in addition to "Scamsoil" being a non certified outboard oil.... their regular "scamsoil" isn't API approved either. <br /><br />Go Pennzoil! <br /><br />Just so u can't say I am without any info at all... most "blends" are not as effective as conventional oils. That said.....<br /><br />BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The boogey man gonna get ya!

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

On the contrary I think the original poster got some good information. He said he is going to switch to the Penzoil blend. I too came to the same conclusion after listing to the people on this board. Thanks dhadley and others!

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

Come on everyone -- I agree, lets end this post, it really is getting out of hand -- my question has been answered, and I truly appreciate everyone's input. <br />Here is my take:<br /><br />1: AMSOIL is SCAMSOIL -- they try to convince the consumer their oil is TCW3 cert and it isn't, and running 100:1 is foolish.<br /><br />2: The Pennzoil blend oil is excellent and should do fine in protecting the motor and help keeping the smoke down and keeping my old lady from complaining about it. Mix it 50:1.<br /><br />Again thanks everyone

Sounds like you took some good advice. All you have to do is weed-out the information and go with the good. That's what iboats is best at. Providing alternatives, opinions, and expertise. Plus the frequently brutal honesty comes at no extra charge. Good luck.

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

If Dhadley says "Blend", I'm not sure anyone can prove different against his experience...<br />I like the Ficht Ram and the replacement, XD-50 by the Bomb...both "Blends" and have came to this conclusion by my own experience, as great oils...It's my choice by what I DON'T see inside on the rare occasion I've had to pull a head that sold me on the Blends.

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

Well, at risk of repeating everything said on this one, putting in synthetic in a motor that old is kinda like putting an elevator in an outhouse, it just doesn't belong. if you're deadset on synthetic, try what Dhadley suggests.

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

I've also produce a new blend of oil as good as any TCW3 cert; it's called KevStaBlend. You can run it at ratios 200:1 in any outboard. Guaranteed to smoke less!!! It's actually olive oil, but my marketing company will look after the selling side of it, making it sound worth the $100 for 1L. <br /><br />ONLY KIDDING<br /><br /><br />Actually I use Valvoline 2 stroke oil, cheap and I think it doesn't stink too much. Been running it in the same engine for the past 6 years, and it still running. I think any TCW3 rated oil will do, its just personal preference. I wouldn't waste my money on sync oils for an older motor. Another thing to think about is do you run sync oils in your car?

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

I worked with a lady in a factory when I was 19 that had the next big oil revoulution. Osterish oil. She raised the critters and swore by it. Claimed it was good for everything,(from frying to the farm trucks oiling needs) and comletely environmentally same. No sientific proof behind it besides "it just does" and her own personally conducted experiments. Anyone want to through a little in their fuel tank for the next big marketing craze?(this is a true story)<br /> I'm not saying synethics are bad, I just simply like to stick with what I KNOW for a FACT is good oil. If it's questionable, I WILL NOT use it. I like my motors to much. I think synthetics may have the ability to have superior propities, but the "this oil is better than that oil" marketing approach doesn't justify double the price to me. If it were the best thing since swiss cheese manufactures' engineers would recommend it on their new autos with the 100,000 mile warranties. Why, they could increase those inventories to 150,000 and squash the competion! Woudln't that be simple. <br /> I know synthetics can hold up longer before "break down"(between oil changes* source is a less frequent oil change schedule in a new Ford truck), but would think they're "broke down", out the exhaust, and into the lake before ya can blink an eye. <br />AND ON TO THE MIXING 100-1, 50-1<br />I don't know the case for sure, but ask yourself this. If you added heaver weight oil, wouldn't you use less to have the equivelent mixture? <br /><br /> I personally would use a certified name brand such as pennzoil and "play it safe" with "mo-money". Who knows if it's better. <br /> Does anyone know anything about VRO's? I'm stuck on the next post down.

I hope everyone up there that uses synthics foggs they're engine if it's going to be sitting for over 30 days

Boltbreaker -- you may be interested to know that Mobil 1 synthetic oil is indeed recommended by auto manufacturers. I is installed in the Corvette and a host of other European high performance cars. In fact, synthetics are used almost exclusively in Europe and have been for years. (I sure hope nobody starts a thread debating which outboard is the best!)

By boltbreaker;

I just simply like to stick with what I KNOW for a FACT is good oil. If it's questionable, I WILL NOT use it. I like my motors to much.

You said a mouth-full there.....THAT is exactly why I use what I do, and the same reason Dhadley uses the oil he does...it's proven itself under the conditions we operate.

Re: Using AMSOIL Saber 2- Stroke Oil in 76 RUDE

Back to the original question....I dunno....I'd dump the old lady. <br />Sounds like you were having fun up until she got in the boat. Myself, that whiff of gas and 2 stroke dino oil has the SWEETEST smell around. <br />Ps. Have her buy ya a small 4 stroke kicker, or electric troll (motor, that is)
