Exol Optima racing 2-stroke oil. anyone else use it here?

[mudguts]

Hi
I had been using Motul 710 2 stroke oil in my injector tank on my RD125LC Mk3 but was tempted to try this
stuff, at about £6 a liter compared to £16 a liter, the specs seem the same, so with such a large saving
i gave it a go, fully synthetic too FD.

www.exol-lubricants.com/automotive/products/details/?PID=62

first impressions was its thinner (ie more runny) than the 710 and is red not green,
after the first 50 miles of use i noticed it started first kick every time, instead of most of the time,
pick up was quicker and less midrange missfire form the allspeed just before the powerband,
well 2 liters later, spark plug has a lot less deposits on it, bore and piston crown all look fine,
smells nice to! smokes a bit more than the 710 from cold.
my autolube feeds it in about 30-35 to 1
so at a £10 saving a liter its a no brainer for me, i have ordered some more,
anyone else use bargain non branded 2 stroke oil?
some people online use Rock Groundsman but that is even cheaper.

i used a couple of bottles of hein gericke stuff, same as 710 got it in the closing down sale, good stuff, but having tried this exol stuff im well happy with it,
bike ran better with it, must be due to the viscosity my guess

I'm running it on my 250LC with no problems.

I bought 10L of this stuff for £54 including delivery a couple of months ago and have been running it it a few bikes with no problems at all.

It was also in the bikes I ran at Cadwell over the weekend

At £5.40 per litre you can't go wrong

Hi i am on my second 5 liter bottle every thing seems ok smokes a bit when cold but no problems so far

[looey]

Can't see you could possibly have a problem with it on premix ?.

If you look at the spec sheet it says suitable for premix and injection and it's a racing oil, so most would be using it via premix I woulda thought ?.

[marsbar350]

just gobbled up 25 litres i bought last year
your a mug not to use it at this price

[mudguts]

ive burnt 2 litres of it, more on order,

Having read the spec, read the reviews, read the website, I have also concluded it has to be done. Ordered 5 litres of it and with the 10% discount from LubeTech, it works out at £29.03.(£5.80 litre) with free delivery. Yep! Mug not to.

I got 25 litres. Will be using it premix.

So where did you all get it from so cheaply and how come its been such a close guarded secret lol

[looey]

I got mine from LubeTech via an ebay advert that doesn't seem to be active at the moment but there's a few companies selling it.

Gets even cheaper if you buy 20L (£4.20 / litre).

[mudguts]

discount code? have i missed something

[mannanan]

Ahh yes, that would be the discount code that is given to clubs that apply for it. Use the Lambretta & Vespa Club one but dont grass. (just put se001 in the voucher code box)

[mudguts]

cheers

Been using it for a few years now without issues
