2 stroke oil

Ha, I agree on Aspen.

However, to be fair, there are very few petrols over 5% and should be none over 10% so petrol probably does conform still.

 

The point I was trying to make is that even some cheap oils can conform to FD, but I would not trust them. Best to stick to the mainline ones.

I believe john (TCD) recently found up to 20% in some fuel. Yes, some crap oils 'conform' but I wonder whether that conformity is similar to the CE on copy saws

Amateur source that; for starters FB is a mineral base, FC and FD semi/full synth.

 

This thread is becoming :banghead:

 

TCD lets just use what we use and let the others use what they want to use and the world will keep on spinning . Life is too short bud .

Best to stick with a well known brand such as Rock, Stihl, Huskie or Aspen.

 

Redline is not well known in this industry. It may well be fine but I doubt its any better than the above 4 which are perfectly good enough.

 

They're only well known in horticultural circles; completely unheard of in racers bikes, planes etc.

 

Only POE based 2-stroke oils are anything close to RL, the four above are not POE, possibly not even PAO.

 

Occasionally, a product from another industry can upset the apple cart in another. I tried RL vs Mobil Pegasus in Jenbacher JE20 gensets; as expected UOA was in RL's favour but price was not.

 

It is not best to stick to a well known brand. Bang my head one more time.

Hi TCD

 

I would like to give RL oil a go. Anyone local sell it?

There is no definitive answer to that,

But there is no harm in keeping to the brands marketed for the job, even if REDLINE is just as good.

 

The stuff its mixed with causes more problems than the oil anyway.
