    Go to www.denniskirk.com they have some good 2 stroke oils. Like Koltz. I would mix it to 32:1. Seems to be more popular.

    He shows owning a 250SX and a 200ES and he's wanting a 2 cycle mix? I missed something I guess.

    yeah, 32:1 seems to be most versatile on everything.... and yeah, oils today are a lot better.... and i wouldn't recommend running 100:1, its only for speed freaks who like to ruin their engine.... with any oil it can't be good.

    Blue Marble 50:1 is all you will ever need. If the motor is fresh you will be good to go. If you make the switch on a top end with time, expect to foul a few plugs in the first few tanks. This is because the BM oil cleans the carbon deposits and you will notice when pulling the fouled plug that it is covered with a goooey black substance. After 4 tanks or so the new power and next to no smoke will make you a beleiver. This is the 2 stroke oil of the future!!!!! I have yet to venture leaner than 50:1, but I have read about great sucess at higher ratio's. My 250R, Blaster, weed whacker, chain saws, etc love the stuff. Less vibration to!! :-D

    Todays oil is not even in the same class as the oil that was used in the days they made that 20:1 label.
