You can use synthetic anyway. Not being able to use synthetic is a myth.

Yes. You could before too.

Yes. Though most would argue it's a waste of money. Walmart $5/gal 2-cycle oil is a popular option around here.

Personally.. for premix.. I pay the 18 Bux a gallon for the quicksilver TCW3 Marine stuff in the siver jug at Advance....... Why.. Well, the BIGGEST reason.... Drum Rolll Please....

It stinks much less!!!!

I just got done with a bottle of Penzoil and I'll never use that stuff again... OMFG, i reeked everytime I got anywhere near the exhaust....

this stuff... If i stand right behind it.. yes, I'll stink.. but, it doesn't stink up the whole garage or get into the car while I'm at a stop light and the wind is from the back like that cheap penzoil stuff.

As for better..... Dunno... the only way to tell would be to run twop engines for 100K, one on each type, the tear 'em apart..

Personally, I like to stink LESS.... it helps keep curious cops from tailin ya too!!!

Hm... I may have to try a tank of that. The WalMart stuff stinks to high heaven. The only time I've been tailed by cops was when I was screwing around in a parking lot burning off a set of tires.
