ridelimousin Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi, found this oil in my local supermarket (in France) and was wondering if it meets the recommended specifications for my bike - Year 2000 Gas Gas Txt 280 (Non Pro) Haven't found a manual for my bike yet so I have no idea if this oil is suitable or if I need a specific brand of oil? It is a fully synthetic 2 stroke Motorcycle oil but is not from a main brand such as Castrol so don't wanna use it unless it is good enough quality. I believe my bike is not as highly strung as the TXT pro model? but not sure... Any other oil recommendations appreciated if its no good. Thanks.

dadof2 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 JASO FC – lubricity and initial torque requirements same as FB, however far higher detergency, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blocking requirements over FB. JASO FD – same as FC with far higher detergency requirement. ISO-L-EGC – same tests and slightly higher detergency requirements (piston varnish) as JASO FC. ISO-L-EGD – same tests and requirements as JASO FD. Make sure it meets at least either the JASO or ISO specs above, if not, don't use it. Just because its synthetic does not mean it is any good.

ridelimousin Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Thanks for that, just checked the bag of the bottle and it meets all the ones you listed plus more, so looks like it should be fine, It's only about £8 for 2 litres so was a bit suspicious but looks like it will be more than adequate.
