Hi all just wondering what 2stroke oil to run ? Just got my pump back from arrow so coming of premix and starting from fresh. I've been using putoline tt (I think it called) , is there anything better?

Many different opinions/preferences on this one , I use shell advanced sx semi syn tryed and tested by my son when a teenager , his dt 125 survived over 20k of daily abuse till he ran out !

Castrol power 1 (formally TTS) !! Put it this way, unbeknown to me I was running a 250 pump on a 350 engine!! Arrow put me straight but I think this oil defiantly saved my engine!

I'm a Motul man too. Good enough for Motogp good enough for me :-)

also the small but Heretical notion that even Cheap oils are Far more sophsticated than the oils current when these engines were designed /manufactured.

During the strip down I cleaned loads of bits from the bottom of the oil tank so whilst I was at it I switched to using Valvoline Synpower 2T as a neighbour gave me a few unopened bottles he used to use in his bike before it was sold. It's also easily available to me locally.

Castro power1 and 30ml of Castro r in the full tank.... Read on one site to add just a tea spoon into a full tank of the R40. Not sure if to go with that or cap full or 30ml as you suggest. Think not only do I get the smell but also that little bit of added oil protection to the motor (perhaps being a bit silly here!!!)

I use Motul 710. I don't know what was in my bike when I got it but I have noticed that now I've switched to Motul 710 the engine is a lot cleaner, plugs a lot cleaner and it doesn't smoke anywhere near as much.
I used the most expensive Putoline in my motocross race bikes and never had any issues at all. I think its hard to buy a bad two stroke oil nowadays.
