repsol 2 stroke oil


T_Shee

Recommended Posts

well i used to use klotz at 40:1 when i first got my shee. then i found this repsol stuff and it was only $7.50 a quart compared to over $13 a quart for klotz. never fouled the first plug with klotz and now that ive swithched ive fouled about 4, and im still mixing at 40:1. i know there are other factors that could be causing this but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if its something else im missing or just coincidence. anyway im gonna switch back to klotz then i should know for sure

Klotz is just that good. :biggrin:

 

I wouldnt think that changin oil would cause that problem but I dont know. Order a couple quarts from rocky mountain next time you order some thing. That way you not just paying shipping just for 2 or 3 quarts of oil.

some oils are just that bad. I went to an engine failure class on chainsaws you should have seen how dirty some of the oils were. none of them were used for bikes how ever. they compared some of their all of their own brands and some out board oils. The synthetics were by far the cleanest some of the low smoke oil they used to offer were as bad as the out board oils. some of the oils would cause the rings to be stuck and the exhaust plugged. I am sure some of the 2 stroke oils for bikes are just as bad. Buying cheap oil now might save you a couple of bucks. but if your tearing down the top end every 20 or 30 hours because of running cheap oil, or fouling plugs every other ride. Your not saving a dime and often spending more.
