      Not sure if this is in the right place but anyway what's the best 2 stroke to use as I'm running low and don't want bad oil for a replacement lol

          I'm not convinced good brand names makes all that much difference, but just to be safe, I try and always use this Putoline stuff. This pack lasts me months.

              @vtrn_raptor I use Silkolene Comp 2 as well, I find they make really good products. Remember oil is the life blood of an engine, it contributes to reducing wear on moving parts by decreasing friction, as well as helping to lower temperatures. I would always buy good quality oil, in order to increase the durability of an engine.

                  @terry-tz I'm probably gonna get grilled but I use the cheapest stuff but I try to stick to the red car lube mix I think it's about 4 pound seems pretty good and looks cools going through see through lines

                      @declan I personally have been told to stay away from that stuff and have only used it in chain saws Stihl saws ect so I have no comment other than stay away 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎

                          @vtrn_raptor I have no idea I decide not to get bogged down I've worked out a certain way of doing this and this way is to put oil in the thing and just enjoy it and I have come across no problems what so ever might be crude to you guys but we all do thibgs different I guess

                                  @zrako I guess what ever works but if my piston and crank last to when they are supposed to is the oil still shit? And not only that I'm running cheap oil I can't afford any better but how many of you have run the best and blew your top ends I haven't blew one and I run cheap stuff

                                    @zrako your probably right in fact, it's probably more important in these smaller engines to use good 2 stroke ye we use to use Stihl chain and 2 stroke oil for the good saw other stuff just got any cheap engine and 2 stroke oil that's normally in garages ie carlube and shite

                                      @terry-tz well at the end of the day until I blow a piston due to a lubrication problem the oil is doing its Job and I thrash my bike

                                        @declan it's kind of like don't judge a book by its cover If the oil is doing what it's supposed to how can you hate on it but of course if I had a real expensive or high performance 2 stroke I'd run the best just for piece of mind

                                          and I hope you don't have any problems too but I don't think the difference will be that noticeable but at the same time hell ye i can feel a difference in fuel stations not as much with this bike tho but I will say in a Stihl or chain saw you put in Tessco fuel it feels like its gonna seize same as my old rs on asda at the end of the day its cheap for a reason get what you pay for
