    Two-stroke oils?

    What do you guys use?

    I've been using Motul 800 which I've got no complaints about, but it is expensive. Total Motox is selling a putoline one for $22 per litre which the guy told me will run at 50:1 with no problems. a 4 litre is about $69 so it's alot cheaper. My flatmate uses Castrol TTS and still thinks its the best value for money.

    Oh and while we are on teh topic of oils, what do you use for your chain? What is the best for an Oring one?

    All the top oils are pretty damn good and there is not much between them,until you get into the castor blends.It just depends on what you can find cheapest in your area.TTS is often found in Repco,so it's always easy to find,which is a plus.I've been using Silkolene Comp 2,but Fuchs no longer bring Silkolene into NZ,so I'll be looking for something else myself soon.

    silkolene is still avalible in NZ, most bike shops will be able to get it,

    i run ELF 2XT in my 2 strokes at 40:1 ,which is $70 for 4 litres, its good syntehtic and we have run it for years with no problems,

    always found TTS was a bit hard on powervalves (gumming up) but that was on earlier KX's with drum type powervalves

    Most of us guys with 125's use shell advance. Firstly cause its good stuff and secondly because its pretty fairly priced, paying about $18 a litre iirc.

    Ive been using the putoline at 40:1 with no problems at all. Previously used Motul but because of the $$$ changed.
    From what I've heard thats not alot of difference between all the top brands as (Motu) previously stated, they all perform well.

    To be honest I like the smell of TTS better.

    I deal with Fuchs themselves (well,through BNT,but Fuchs deliver to me direct,I sometimes get bulk pumpovers) and so get it at wholesale prices.I have a trade account with Castrol too,I'll be getting TTS in a 20 litre if I have to.

    Was at Kimmys today, it was wicked fun!
    Just did my 02 200EXC engine, bottom and top. Yeah I know its been along time to wait to do a top end, but those Elko topends last almost forever.
    Anyway have always used Motul 800 until recently when I switched to Motorex. Inside the engine was very very clean, with only a little carbon on the power valve flapper. The power valve mech was clean, not gummed up, the head only needed a wipe with a rag, and I think I'm going to stick with the Motul 800. Shame its so expensive.
