Is it best to use "ashless" 2-cycle like Royal Purple? I'm about to order a case of something and want to get it right the first time.

 

i think the stihl stuff i use is ashless.

 

Any 2 stroke is designed to burn, but if you have emmissions restrictions, go ashless, I like Amsoil synthetic 2 stroke but it gets expensive

 

i use yamalube :]

 

i ordered a case og indemitsu from mazdatrix for a decent price. its what was used in that 787b le mans car so im sure itll be great for me.

 

You mean this.lol.

 

What you said "Amsoil synthetic 2 stroke" is what my brother got today, but it says semi-synthetic. It is ashless.

The big bottle rang up for $4.something and even the guy at NAPA was knowing it wasn't right. He let it go, though. I'll have to check back and see if they corrected it.

 

yea, lol.
same stuff i run in my saws.
just looked at it and the regular stihl 2 stroke oil is ashless, but i run the high performance and it dosent say ashless on it so i guess its not.

if you go with dino oil I noticed that JASCO stuff is way better running than the TCW-3 stuff. TCW3 is about as thick as 20-50 and the JASCO qualified stuff is like 5w. It seems to mix and burn better in my car. There was a huge thread on ausrotary a while ago.

good read

Premix, $5/quart. Made for the rotary specifically.
