    Two-stroke synthetic oil vs fully synthetic?

    I'm servicing my partners 2 stroke chinese scooter and they say i should use Fully Synthetic oil. Saying that, whats the difference besides the price?

    I've googled it and most people say Full Synthetic is the best and others say semi synthetic is better and just as good. No clear winners and thus i want to hear about people experiences.

    apologies- I should have read your question properly.

    I'm using semi and full synth and have been for 16000 kms basically what ever has a sale on.
    I pulled the cylinder off at 9000 k's and it was fine, no marks or carbon buildup.
    4ltr packs are cheaper.
    Never use outboard or lawnmower 2T oil.

    Most little 2t engines seem to run lean and seize rather than the "quality" of the oil.



    I just use regular gas, I wont use gulls mouthwash blend because of the seals.
