i got a question about 2-stroke engine oil. do they make a RED 2 stroke engine oil?? ive only seen green and blue. here's why i ask.
my buddy has a 2002 yamaha blaster and it a 2 stroke. 2 weeks ago we were out riding and he was geting low on oil. so we drove across a feild that comes up behind a gas station. he went in a bought a qt. of AMOCO 2 cycle oil. it was red and it really didnt smell like 2 cycle oil. it said it was for oil injection which he has so he used it even tho he didnt want to because thats all they had and he would have ran out for the long hall back. we got back home and stop riding for the night. then two days later we went riding again and about 1/2hr worth of riding later the engine locked up tight. he kept it well maintaned has never had a problem until he put the red oil in. so we went back to the gas station with the remaining oil to ask a few questions only to find out they stoped carring AMOCO oil the day before.??? they gave him a number to call the head manager who said he will look into it and call him back. two weeks went by with no answer. so he called again today and got no one to answer the phone.
