I need feedback on amsoil 2stroke oil

**Billy Golightly** · 05-05-2007, 11:32 AM

If it were jetted correctly to start with, my opinion would be yes. You might also need to make a difference in heat ranges on your spark plugs. But, theres no way to know for sure without trying it because every oil is different, and one oil might put out a lot more heat at the same mixture then another one.

This topic always did confuse me. I frequent a board called "Bob Is The Oil Guy" that is full of dedicated oil nuts. I started a thread there to see if those guys have anything to add to this discussion. It is interesting to me because I can never seem to find an oil I like, I always wonder will this, or that, or something new will work better, so I try it, and this means that I switch oils allot and mix ratios some too. Interesting topic.

Here's the thread I started:http://theoildrop.server101.com/foru...vc=#Post887309

I run Klotz Super Techniplate at 40:1. Only reason I went with 40:1 is because it gets me an even number of five gallon mixes from a one gallon conatiner of oil.

I really don't think it matters a tremendous amount as long as you're jetted right for whatever premix you run.

I used to always run Klotz R50 until I moved here and could never find it nearby. My local dealer is carrying it now so I may switch back to that from Klotz Supertechniplate. R50 costs nearly twice as much but if the specs are to be believed it is a better oil. I've never had a problem with either.

Take Billy Golightly's posts for example...

WTF???

Total Brain Surgery?
Some of his answers can only be credited to MUCHO research,

I can picture Billy down in the basement, with his barrels of solvents, test tubes, hoses, vials and bubbling mixtures perking from the bunsen burners, and him dressed in some kind of "Hondaline lab suit" with a

INSANE SMERK

on his face.....and of course his 250R is all strapped down on a gurney right beside him.....CAN anyone else see it?

If you guys only knew. Sometimes I run experiments for days at time, I can't even go take a shower or I might miss something. Bathroom trips have to be timed very carefully. The things I do in the name of research

As long as your not experimenting in the shower!

i usually use the honda 2 stroke oil, 32:1 cause thats what the bottle + 4 gallons is....

**Mike_Ham_250R** · 05-05-2007, 06:55 PM

If this has been mentioned already I don't know, I didnt read this thread but,

In my 85 R I run that Sabre *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* at 70:1 with a carb thats jetted fairly lean and it works great. Tons of power, no falling on its face.

Did your bikes smoke much with the cheap gas station oil? I imagine they would.

I'm gonna go ahead and move this to the Mad Scientists lair, because I think it'll be a good addition to that area

**ccdhowell** · 05-07-2007, 10:50 PM

If you haven't followed my link above, check it out, the oil gurus at Bob Is The Oil Guy have some interesting things to say about this topic. Since it was moved to the Mad Scientists Liar, how about a link to some mad oil scientists:http://theoildrop.server101.com/foru...vc=#Post888595

Billy, you may want to jump in the discussion on the linked board, interesting.

**Billy Golightly** · 05-07-2007, 11:16 PM

Thanks, I'll register and make a post over there.

**BigGreenMachine** · 05-07-2007, 11:33 PM

Some interesting stuff right there Ccdhowell.

Billy, got the link to the thread on E2S about mix ratios?

**Billy Golightly** · 05-07-2007, 11:39 PM

Not sure which one you mean BGM? Can't think of any threads on mix ratios that was on E2S? The one at planet sand, I linked to on the first or second page I think it was.

**BigGreenMachine** · 05-07-2007, 11:55 PM

It must have been Billy, my mistake. Just looked on E2S and couldnt find it, d'oh.
