TC-W2 vs TC-W3 2 Cycle Oils for Suzuki

[Knightgang]

I picked up a Clymer Manual for my '87 Suzuki DT115. The manual says to use Suzuki 2 Cycle oil or any approved TC-W2 two cycle oil. What is the difference between TC-W2 and TC-W3? I cannot find the TC-W2 oil any where. I also cannot find Suzuki Oil anywhere in my area. There is only one dealer, and since Suzuki went completely 4 Stroke, he does not carry the oil. I am planning on moving to Quick Silver. Does anyone see a problem with this? Should I run the Suzuki oil as low as possible and then empty and refill with Quick Silver to avoid mixing?<br /><br />Thanks Guys.

TC-W2 was and is replaced by TC-W3.<br />There is no reason why you should have a problem<br />mixing the two.

What about mixing the Quick Silver and the Suzuki oil? Will this create a problem?

Do a search on these forums and you will find a lot of info to make up your own mind on oils. It is safe to mix. Bottom line if its TCW3 you should be good to go. There is a wide variation in price for different brands and bottle colors.
