Ok, what does it do better for $6.11 a quart than the standard outboard 2 stroke?

Let me guess, you were using either a S4/5 turbo, whose nipple for the compressor-pressue-differential-nipple was the same size as the actual wastegate actuator, and also most of the stock sizes of vacume hoses/manifolds.........?


Mine was a totally different(smaller...) then any of the stock vacume nipples, aswell as the wastegate actuator on either my throttle body/inlet manifold/turbo.

ANYWAY, this is a mute point, I stuffed up, I thought my hose/connection would hold upto the nipple with what I did to it, but it didn't..
This was coverd in the thread I actually posted this in, search for it if anyone is interested.


This however has nothing to do with pre-mixing, and/or 2-stroke oil.

Also, I have used TCW3 synthetic 2-stroke oil in my engine, no ill side affects were noticed. However I did not do a scientific study on it, everything I have posted has been subhective not objective.

lol. oh well.

allright, i guess i will have to do some research. i am still worried that premixing may not be enough.

i guess ppl that deserve to own cars(unlike me) dont think about these things as much.

i know this has probably been talked about before, but the search function duz not find exactly what u are looking for that easily.

anyways, reposting topics like this allows new members to learn things by having the thread on the first page. so all they have to do is click on it, read it, and now they know about premixing.;

No, I mean I use that for my premix oil in the fuel.

I thought by my previous comments and others it would've been pretty clear that you cannot, and I would not, use 2-stroke oil in the engine for lubrication of the bearings.
