Re: Synthetic 2 stroke oil questions
i used shell 100% synthetic 2 stroke oil in my outboards and i use synthetic lower unit lube too. <br /><br />i was skeptic, thought id try it at least once and see what happens...<br /><br />i ran through a full 6 gall tank mixed with 87 octane and 50:1 synthetic and my engine is noticabley quieter, smoother, and doesnt smoke as much... all of the engines i have used it on are small tillers, 3hp, 5hp, 6 hp, and 14 hp... so i dont know about big motors gaining a few hundred rpms to play with or not...<br /><br />it was 20 bucks a gallon for the 2 stroke and 6 dollars a quart for lower unit lube.. <br /><br />i wont change back to regular unless i absolutely have too..<br /><br />they also start easier, but i think that may have to do with the smooother running-ness of it...<br /><br />to shorten my story to a few words.." i love it"<br /><br />try it and youll see........<br /><br />mikey
