It's at least 25 years since I bought any two stroke oil, what's hot, and what's snot?

Almost anything semi or fully synthetic today is miles better than back in the day
Exol for me
£24 delivered for 5L of fully synth delivered

Where from and what mixture on a YPVS - probably tuned but I haven't taken the top end off yet

Castrol Power 1 Racing 2T Fully Synthetic - expensive at about £14 a litre but readily available from Halfords. However as above any fully or semi synthetic stuff will be fine and far superior to what we used back in the day. There is an awful lot of brand snobbery (myself included) when it comes to oil! Exol Optima Racing 2T is also good and very reasonably priced www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OPTIMA-RACING-2-STROKE-OIL-5-LT-JASO-FD-5L-EXOL-BRANDED/111696260021?epid=15018795690&hash=item1a019dabb5:g:WA4AAOSwlqtdRCpnMy bike is on premix and has been for years as it was 'the done thing' and I run it at 40:1 (125ml oil to every 5L petrol) but Arrow on this forum can rebuild your injection pump and it will be better than new. He can also customise the oil delivery rate for tuned bikes.

As above. I use Exol Optima in my 2-strokes with no issues. I run with oil pump too.

Another vote for exol.
Been using it in mx and enduro bikes for nearly 10 years.
Low wear on the engines for the hours they have done.

expensive at about £14 a litre I was paying more than that for Shell Gemini racing two stroke oil 25 years ago.
My oil pump has been removed so pre mix is what I'll be using - tbh I prefer I from a reliability point of view, having had the oil jets into the carbs block up on a 250LC in 1985
