Premix oil

[kev-yorks]

Hi all ive been speaking to Simon (oilman) about premix in a rotary whilst i asked about my specific 20b aplication this should apply to all rotary\'s out there below his his response after he had spoke to the chemists at silkolene.
Kevin,
 

I spoke to the Silkolene Chemist this morning about premixing in a 20b rotary engine.
 
He does not advise using a Castor based oil (even though they smell great) due to the potential for tip seals sticking.
 
His recommendation is to use a product like Silkolene Comp 2 Premix (available on our website in the Silkolene Bike oils section) as this is a high load carrying, shear stable two stroke. The recommended mix is 1:50.
 
If you wish to post this reply on MRC then please feel free.
 
Regards

Weve been selling this oil for pre-mix, basically a 2 stroke bike oil.

I\'ve always used 2 stroke outboard engine oil as it smokes less.

I run 100:1 in my n/a engines.
