    Havoline 2 stroke oil anyone?

    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.

    .... 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.
    Back on 2 wheels for now!

    clean 86 350x for sale.

    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.

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