Havoline 2 stroke oil anyone?

[YAMAHA_Jim]

I forget who it was but someone here likes to run Havoline(valvoline) or whatever it is. I couldnt resist taking the pic.I only use this for lubing cables and other moving parts but it will never get mixed in my gas.I'm not even sure how it ended up in my garage. I use Klotz and Maxima.

[NOS_350X]

I use Klotz and Maxima.

those are the only two brands i will let near my bike

[Manny55]

I use HP2

[krizo88]

I also use HP2

[lisnup65]

Blue Marble only here! Ahhhhhhh no smoke once warm.

[Jeb]

I was Die Hard Bel-Ray MC-1 since the mid 80s. I really like Blue Marble now! Need to get a gallon from TimSr. in the near future......

[86250RZ]

I use Castor 929 only

[Lots_Of_Nothing]

AMSOIL thats the only thing i run now, used to run klotz, but after experiencing problems with it, i switched to amsoil, and its been amsoil ever since

.... unlike the rest of you snobs .... I'll run any pinger oil I can get my hands on (or whatever the local 7-11 carries) as long as it carries a TC-W rating. I've been doing this for almost 20 years and havnt had an engine blow due to "oil" yet. BTW ... I don't ever run wild mix ratios either - usually only 20:1 - 25:1.

hey jim,
did you know the the oil blend that maxima uses were deveopled for them by castrol. i've used maxima oils for years.
if you guys like the maxima oils, then you should try castrol TTS synthetic racing premix. comes in a green-blue bottle and is about $6-7 a bottle. burns cleaner then the maxima oils and top-end on the motor seems to last longer between rebuilds.

[YAMAHA_Jim]

Does the castrol smell as good as Maxima or Klotz when its in the air? I realize I'm pouring toxins and carbon monoxide into the air everytime I ride but, It should atleast smell good :) I didnt know using a brand name 2 stroke oil classified someone as a snob.
WHy do some people use motor oil in thier cars that cost 89 cents a quart,and others only buy mobil 1 that cost $7-8 a quart.

[G-MAN-1]

some of you guys kill me....................i have always ran castor 927. but this past summer i switched to BELRAY H1-R.and now im hooked on that. and ill be running that in my sons race 50cc with VP racing fuel that costs around 6 buxx a gallon...........its what you prefer................and motor oil i have always ran castrol gtx in all my vehicles even my brand new dakota 4x4 with a K&N oil filter. and i run auto trans fluid in my sons race bike do to better clutch friction.................... :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :rolleyes:

klotz on race fuel cannot be beat on the smell. castrol is allright but not quite as good.

... I was kidding Jim.

[TeCaTe_MaN]

Manny runs havoline, i run valvoline :oops: but thats all i can find in my town...cus it is so small and im not gonna drive 40 iles for some klots

[G-MAN-1]

i would drive 40 miles for good oil. just get alot when you go.no reason to run the crap oil if you dont have too....................... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :idea:

[ATCnut]

Hell, I drive almost 40 miles round trip to work every day. If it can be done for work,its gotta be done for your trike.

[TeCaTe_MaN]

yea...but there is one problem....i cant just yet get my licence and my parents arnt gonna make a trip in when i need oil....

[TimSr]

Thats why UPS was created, Tecateman.

I buy mine 28 gallons at a time!

[TeCaTe_MaN]

lol....i dont have a Jobbie either....gotta chage that ;)

[ange]

what oil do you guys think is the least smokey?

I love two strokes, but dont really want to be pumping a big cloud of smoke out the back all day long, some places actually do have polution problems associtated with bikes/sleds etc.. So as far as I am concerned, less smoke the better.

[J.D.]

Blue Marble has the least amount of smoke.

I've had 84 ski-doo citation SS for 3 years now, had oil injc, I run the selection that the local 'quick and sleezy' gas station offers, castrol super high proformance snowmobile oil, 2.50 a quart, valvoline snowmobile oil, 2.70 a quart or "newline" synthetic oil, 4.00 a quart, I've had for 3 years now and just this summer I tore it down and re-sealed/re-ringed it, pistons looked fine, jugs/crank bearings where fine etc, so I doubt it makes any diffrance, my buddie has 94 polaris 700 triple and always runs castrol in it, had it 3 years also with no internal problems, so I myself think it's just peice of mind running $8 a quart oil, although if I had really set up for racing then I might run Klotz, ohh and by the way I run the 85cents a quart oil in my trucks and never have any problems, change it 3000 miles though.

[trikerider2oo7]

I use 5w30 motor oil to lube mine up

[hondatrikesrule22]

Hey Tri-Z Jim,on the picture of that oil you took,it says you can use it in outboards,weedeaters and lawnmowers!?!I didn't know there was a 2-stroke lawnmowers.If so,I'll be the first to get one :-D .
