pete_scorpa3 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've only ever used Castrol TTS Fully synthetic so I've not got any experience with this oil, but I only use semi synthetic in the strimmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev3 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've run my beta rev 3 on this for the last 4 years and never had a problem. I run it 60ml per 4 litres of fuel. I cant say it smells of strawberry though, even though it is written on the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom6n2 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 phew! cheers guys now need to work out the ratio of 80:1 with 15 litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev3 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 about 190ml, accounting for some left in the measuring jug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshercorider Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've been using it on my three previous bikes and it has done the job just fine. I get comments about the smell quite often too I put about 65ml in a 5litre can which makes a roughly 80:1 mixture I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I've only ever used Castrol TTS Fully synthetic so I've not got any experience with this oil, but I only use semi synthetic in the strimmer.Me too .... TTS needs a bit of a shake to mix in well though.Best of balance .... even while riding the strimmer Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I put about 65ml in a 5litre can which makes a roughly 80:1 mixture I think Just divide 5000 by 65 - That's 77:1...But I like to do it the other way round. I put 8 litres in a 10litre container of petrol and add 100ml of oil .... makes it easier for my brain Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
