Re: 2 cycle oil whats the best ??
TCW3 is all you have to worry about, NMMA certification does not mean a dannm thing, other than the packager has paid the bribe to the NMMA. You pay the fee, and you get certified, you don't pay, you do not get certified, even if you are the best on the market. If you paid last year, and were certified, ok if this year comes along, and you do not send the check, you lose your certification. The ****** oil company makes the TCW3 for 5 different repackagers, that purchase it in 55 gallon drums, and resell it in small plastic containers, with their name on it. All the same product, if three of them pay the NMMa the certification fee, they are certified, the other two are reselling the same product, do not pay the certification fee (bribe), they are not certified. That is how business works, when I was in business, I purchased product, and if I purchased a certain quantity, they put my name ( The name and address of my business) on the containers. I had nothing to do with the manufacture of it, I just sold it, and a thousand other shops sold the same item, with my name on it, and I would be willing to bet there were persons that would swear by mine, and say the shop's across town (selling the same thing) was no good. "NO ONE" can tell you which is the best oil, but if it is labled as TCW3, it supposedly meets all the criteria to be satisfactory. For all any of us know, there may be only one plant in the world that makes TCW3 oil, and any you buy anywhere comes from the same large tanks.
