Two-Stroke Oils: All the Same?

[lone wolf]

For the price the VP oil is hard to beat. FD rated and also leaves a nice film of oil. Carbon seems to be pretty low as well.

Whats it cost?

$7-10 per 2.6 oz bottle on Amazon and eBay! Ouch..... Their website says otherwise...

Amazon is always high on oil I noticed.

This may hurt a bit less... I got 1 from the local Oreilly Auto parts store for some backup. Don't recall what I paid tho.... wanna say under $10.

Yeah I was gonna say, I've never seen the squeeze to measure bottle over $10.00 at wally world. But inflation is real, so I'm sure it will go up like crazy.

I thought there was no inflation according to corn pop.

You can get VP oil at Walmart or TSC.

Now I have to go find some more oil. Not an everyday chainsawer like some, mainly running my string trimmer. Be Safe.

Join the club, the door is open there is a bunch of us in here searching for the right oil for us LOL

16oz is $12 dollars according to the VP website. Looks like you can buy direct.

Still high when you are really paying almost 100.00 a gallon.

@North by Northwest he ran the cheapo blackmax 2 cycle oil at walmart all summer with no problems around here it is 0.96 cents per 2.6 ounce bottle or 7.97 for the 16 ounce squeeze bottle.

Yep that’s what I’m using at the moment, I love the smell and colour.

For what it's worth, I run Saber at 66:1 in my paramotor, and have for YEARS. Single cylinder, 190cc 2-stroke, air cooled. All other equipment gets Saber at 100:1, even customer's equipment. Haven't had one yet come back with lubrication-related issues.

What level of residual oil do you see on the crank, piston and cylinder at 66:1? And 100:1? Do you have any photos from when you stripped down the engine?

It's not that I don't believe you. This is really good real-world, long term info on the performance of Saber.

 

[sean donato]

I'm curious as well, my father in law paramotors. He's pretty heavy on oil with his. I think he mentioned 32 to 1 with whatever brand of oil he uses.

@Vintage Engine Repairs
I have had good results running Saber @ 50:1.
