I came across four pints of Castrol 2T two stroke oil for motorcycles, scooters, etc. It's blue but does not say 3tcw anywhere on it. Would this be a good fluid for premixing? Same ratio?

I don't want to start yet another premix/don't premix debate; I've read at least 10 of those. I just want to know if this is good stuff or not.

I still run my omp (I think it works) and have decided to always premix as a backup/additional protection. I'm still considering whether or not to ditch the omp altogether someday.

its 2t not 3tcw, not completely sure what the difference is. does it say its ok for fuel injection?

I use 2T and have used it for years. Never torn down a fresh engine that had new parts after using it however.

I find it isn't smokey even if you run 100:1, smells nice, and is pretty cheap. I use around 200:1

Thunkd - It doesn't say it's for F.I.. It says its for pre-mix or injected systems, which means can work for something like an outboard that has a separate tank that holds the two-stroke and injects it into the fuel at combustion.

I'm pretty sure this stuff will be fine, I just wanted to know if it was good, bad, or ugly. Will it do a better or worse job than tcw3? We'll see. As long as it lubricates.
