cracked Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 The wife was being helpful and stopped by the shop to pick up some oil. She picked up 2S instead of 2R. I know 2S is supposed to be for engines with an oil injector but is there really any difference? Maybe the 2S is a little thinner to go through the injector easier.... I dunno.... Just for sh!ts and giggles... Say someone had a Blaster and ran the 2s in the injector system and then blocked the system off and had to premix. Wouldn't the 2S being used as a premix have the same result as before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I would think you would be ok. I know 2 s is probably a little easier on the environment since it is what you run in your 2 stroke jet ski's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 On second thought I would run it. I broke my banshee in on Quaker State 2 cycle oil. Figued it would help break it in. Kind of like not runing a full synthetic in a 4 stroke for the first oil change. 2s has to be way better than Quaker State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh-eman Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Pulled from Dirtrider.net: Mineral based injector oils usually have a different dilutent makeup. Basically they have to control the pour point to keep the paraffin content of the oil from compromising injector flow at lower temperatures. Lower priced oils tend to have have higher paraffin contents and need greater volumes of dilutent to control low temp flow. This isn't to say 2R can't be used in an injector, it's more a case of consideration for these issues may not have been specifically addressed during the design phase. 2-S is more of a injector oil for a little PW50.

Not sure what your trying to say. Look at how many people run Amsoil Dominator. It is an injector oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this same thing when I googled it... That and a bunch of other back and forth conflicting reports on what the difference is and if it's ok as a premix. I'm thinking that my bikes are stock and close to stock and that it should be ok. I was just checking if anyone on here had any experience with it. Thanks all!
