Two-stoke pre-mix oil

[mr.bishi]

Is anyone using it instead of the oil metering system?

If so,what ratio are you using?

I am not instead of, but as well as for added protection, right from start up, i full tank + half a litre of two stroke, or somewhere around 100-1 to 150-1,

Quite a few of us using it at a ratio of 100:1. Makes it easy to mix that way just add 1/2litre for every 50litres of fuel.

Its a personal choice a faulty pump or split pipe can cost you a engine but some people can\'t do with having to put oil into the tank. If you go premix then its foolproof so long as you remember to put the oil in the tank. Another plus side is if your driving the car hard it uses more fuel so also gets more oil.

Nice one...thanks guys

See...you can\'t keep a good question down,the old ones are the most annoying! :lol

A lots down to personal preferance. Anyone who\'s running premix and has played about with different oils will tell you its amazing how the engine responds to different oils, put a really good one in there and you can tell the difference with how freely the engine will rev. Personally i\'m using a Millers oil that is a purpose designed premix oil that is a blend of castors and synthetics. Also be wary if using methanol as meths and normal mineral oils don\'t mix hence why i\'m using a castor based oil.

so if i go with a castrol synthetic product i shouldnt go far wrong no?

[kev-yorks]

So long as its designed as a two stroke oil and is ash less then you\'ve safe. Plus side when running premix and no metering pump the sump oil is only that so there\'s no problems running decent oil in the sump to look after your turbo\'s.
