Re: More info on oil than you can handle!!!
LubeDude, I have a question for ya, with the amsoil two stroke stuff, my outboards are supposed to run somewhere around 24 to one, 32 to one, in that vicinity (lots of old motors, they vary, I would probably just make some 28 to one mix and use it in all of them!)<br /><br />thing is, thats a heavy dose of oil, lots of smoke<br /><br />if I use a synthetic, amsoil, mobil, whichever, does the sythetic oil give that blue pall hanging over the lake? given the tremendous amount of money that goes into a boat, seems silly to squawk over a couple of bucks for oil for the thing<br /><br />it also occurs to me that with the APPARENT superiority of sythetics, you could use less of it - however, I dont know if sythetics are superior in an instantaeous use situation, or if it expressed over the long term, less shear, higher stability, etc etc cold weather viscosity, yadda yadda, all of which is essentially moot when you are dumping it into summertime hot gas and firing it thru the engine once, to be burned up and blown out the pipe - those old motors ran forever on good old dinosaur juice, with only the belching of blue smoke to its detriment.<br /><br />whooops, I blathered AGAIN, let me condense<br /><br />1 - less smoke?<br /><br />2 - use less?<br /><br />3 - worth the expense given its burned up immediatly?<br /><br />thanks dude!
