dombush Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi This is a frequently asked question, and one with a number of opinions. I suggest using a competition premix specific 2 stroke oil availale from a number of manufacturers (silkolene, Putoline, Shell, Motul etc. etc.) I personaly use Putoline MX5 because many shops / vendors at tracks sell it. Other friends use Silkoline Comp2 pre-mix etc. I use Fully Synthetic so that i feel comforatable using the higher dilution rates (70:1)and also a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldbanjo Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) I have a Gasgas JTX 250 which I am currently using petrol mixed with 2 stroke oil for my chainsaws etc I also use the same oil in my bike as I do my chainsaws.....but I use a fully synthetic esther based oil in both. I use the Maxima K2 oil mixed at 50:1 for my chainsaws and yard equipment - and mixed at 80:1 in my Sherco 290. I believe that any good quality full synthetic oil would be fine - just avoid the oil made for outboard motors and general purpose 2 cycle engines.

skuylouy Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thank you for your help, I'll go get some fully synthetic 2 stroke tomorrow, would Halfords do the Putoline ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombush Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Halfords supply this which will be ok. Halfords Castrol link I know it says up to 50:1, people run upto 80:1 and these higher dilutions are recommended by the importers themselves.
