riderofthestorm Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I have always run this tc-w3 oil in everything. the stuff i use isnt the cheapest stuff i can find or anything. it works out to like 6 bucks a liter when you buy a case of it. nowhere on it does it say outboard oil. it has a picture of a sled, a dirtbike a quad and a boat on the bottle :shrug: i ran it in my 125 and raced motocross with it, and ran it hard on the logging roads too. every time i tore it down it looked perfect inside. the only time it ever blew up was after about 5 miutes of wide open 5th gear down the road. it seized the connecting rod to the crankshaft, but the cylinder and piston still looked good. this is my experience with it. I used to used it back in the day in my KDX 80, and my YZ 125, and never had any issues,, but i don't think i'd attempt it with my shee,, way too much money involved in this case!,, but if i had absolutely no choice i would make sure to mix it RICH!

What do you run, Conoco Skat 2 stroke oil? It is tcw-3 certified and recommended for ALL 2 stroke motors water and air cooled. It is an awesome oil and have used it for years in every 2 stroke I've had. I've never blown a motor. I've used it in my cub motor as well.

Dick Wheels Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have been running the Mercury Premium Plus in my 88 LT250r for the past 2 years after I did the engine over. I run it 40:1 with 93 and never an issue. I only use it because I always have gallons of it laying around cause thats what I run in the checkmate. It cant be to bad if still after 2 years I cannot turn that engine over by hand. It can be a little smoky though if you get the rpms down in some tight trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 What do you run, Conoco Skat 2 stroke oil? It is tcw-3 certified and recommended for ALL 2 stroke motors water and air cooled.

I've used it in my cub motor as well. this is the stuff i use. my dad uses it in his chainsaws too, and they run way hotter than a banshee. on the back it says to mix to the manufacturers specs, and it gives a chart up to 100:1 for different amounts of gas. we run it at 32:1 in everything, except the boat which is at 50:1 says its for any air or water cooled 2 stroke. everyone thinks im c razy for using it, but i have no reason to change it. we get it from co-op.
