Which type of 2 stroke oil?

[macojoe]

Wally world TCW3 for me $10 a gal here, been using it for years!! But i premix. If you are injected the you better using something a little better like therm!
Also if your motor in new then you should stick to the makers brand till your warranty runs out.

I'm a pre-mixer as well, just the PENNSOIL smokes less. I don't really mind it so much, but my other half raises HE!! about it. Something about it gives her headaches, it affects me differently.

thanks for the responses so far. I am still using the VRO injection. And motor is 1986 so no worries about warranties there.

I always used the Pennsoil XRD (??) its the yellow jug of 2 stroke for older outboards, or I would use the Pennsoil premium when I had my Johnson. Both were about the same, usually which ever one was in stock. You can get them both at Bass Pro if you have one. Now I am using YamaGold, damn that crap is expensive.

So Therm, you are saying you are like the rest of us two strokers,
(imagine "Ride of the Valkyre" playing in the background)
and said with a deep scratchy voice-

" I love the smell of two stroke oil in the morning"



By the way, I buy whatever is on sale, at Wally world, West marine
or whoever has a good sale,
I have the VRO still hooked up and so far, even with mixing real and synthetic,
as long as it has tcw3 on the label, I have had no issues, so far.
(I better go stroke my lucky rabits foot, now that I said that)

I would think that even the cheepest oil you can find now would be superior to what they had in 1986.

But what do I know, my motor doesn't burn oil.........yet anyways.

I would actually stear youy away from the PENNSOIL XLF, been alot of reports of people running it and having excess smoke from all of the detergents it has in it. With oil injection I would run a better oil than just the cheapest you can get. If you can find it, SUZUKI has an EXCELLENT 2 stroke oil for oil injected engines.

Maybe that's why it blew up...I would like to think that

PENNSOIL synthetic blend is good oil, but the newer XLF has been linked to aalot of carbon deposits on the prop hubs and black oil running out of the prop from running it.
