    Question on 2 cycle oil (not the usual question)

    Not the usual type question (so I hope) I was in Kragen today (hot outside) bought some coolant (did a flush) and a new radiator cap (haven't changed it yet since I bought the Jeep) and noticed they had Valvoline 2 cycle oil for $8 for a gallon! I usually run AMSoil and think its great. Anyone run it? I saw it said TC-W3 which I think the AMSoil stuff I get states that too. AMSoil has like three different types you can buy, I get the cheap stuff since kids ride. Anyways, thats over half price. Some feedback would be great.

    Thanks in advance!

    i used it a few years ago and thought it was pretty good. I use Pennzoil now because it doesn't smoke.

    I wouldnt run it. I started using it in my t3 at 32:1. After that I tryed Klotz and Amsoil, you can feel the difference in my opinion. I know its cheap but Amsoil isnt very expensive and provides alot more protection. You get it for 20 bucks a gallon dont you? Where do you get it from?

    Go directly to AMSoil and become a preferred customer
