Two stroke oil

[allen]

The two normal places I buy 2-stroke oil now have it priced at $50 per gallon.  Not very long ago it was $29 & sale priced at $24.  Anyone have advice, suggestions?

For what?

I just tried Lucas in my bike, it was like half the smoke or less than the Kawasaki stuff.

Wallyworld. Quiksilver? Stuff lubes and burns just like Yamalube.

I think I have three gallons of Quiksilver I will give you a deal on.  Might take some work to meet up though.  Let me know.

Price of all oils has gone up at alarming rates. Durex bar oil was $9/gallon a year or so ago, now it’s north of $15. That said when I comes to mix oil for 2 stroke, I will only run amsoil in my sled and dirt bike, I had hundreds of hours on a cr250 top end before a rebuild and it still looked new, their stuff is on the upper end of spendy but imo it’s worth it when they preform better and less damage to internals.

It’s quite possible to run a two stroke on nondetergent 30wt oil. Though more than likely you would need to adjust your jets for a 25:1 mix since it’s not specifically made for two strokes. It’ll smoke some but run fine. the stuff most commonly sold today is for a 50:1mix and has some special ultralube additives.
I generally use one gallon ketchup type packets but I’m darn sure willing to go ND30wt if I’m in a bind

Klotz R50 is up to $70/gal but wouldn’t trust anything else except maybe Amsoil Dominator in my Sand Bikes.

Have you trie buying in bulk from an outboard dealer/service shop?  I get 5 gallon bucket refills of Yamalube for considerably less.

I buy Yamalube for $35 a gallon off ebay and this price includes tax and shipping.

Be careful using TCW-2/3 oils in air cooled engines. TCW stands for Two Cycle Water cooled, and is designed for cooler temperatures than you get with air cooled power equipment. I know that many people run anything that says two cycle oil, but they are designed differently. If you are running an air cooled engine hard, like a professional chainsaw that runs all day long, TCW oil will carbon up the rings after time.
