    What's the difference between 2 stroke injector oil and pre mix oil?

    Sorry for the confusion on the samples; the file identifiers only seem to appear if you open the images in a separate tab. I did a "burn test" using 4ml samples in aluminium pastry molds over a gas stove burner to how long they would take to ignite and what would be left. The TC-W3...

    What's the difference between 2 stroke injector oil and pre mix oil?

    Guys, inspired by Project Farm, I stove-tested a few oils I could get my hands on: Castrol 2T (JASO FB): Identical specs to Castrol Go!. Claims to be an injection oil, but it has a very high viscosity. Husqvarna PRO (JASO FD): A branded oil from a small blender intended for premix and power...

    Tcw3 as upper cylinder lubricant?

    I heard of 2 stroke oil being used for fuel system protection (carb, efi, mech fuel injection) on gasoline vehicles by classic car enthusiasts. Not sure at what ratio though. 250:1? 400:1?

    When you don't feel like DIY oil changes anymore

    "pull your dip stick, show you the oil level and ask you "are you okay with this oil level " " That's exacly what the guys at that Shell station do here. Probably one of the reasons I never had a problem! How come that "Jiffy Lube" (a large franchise I suppose) can be so awful?

    When you don't feel like DIY oil changes anymore

    Honestly, it’s hard to say if these are common because I’ve never seen another one quite like this in any other town. It isn't a "Shell corporate" facility though, as the owner has a contract to operate the Shell Station. The property is an outdoor mini-mall deal where the owner also acts as the...

    When you don't feel like DIY oil changes anymore

    I’m right there with you on the "hassle" factor. Despite owning a high-riding 4x4 Toyota product, I’ve officially retired from DIY oil changes. The oil filter on these KD engines is a massive pain to reach, and frankly, my time is better spent elsewhere. My "lazy" strategy is purely...

    Tcw3 as upper cylinder lubricant?

    I agree. The LSPI problem was solved by reducing the Calcium additives in the motor oils. TCW3-certified oils have zero metallic additives so its a non-issue.

    Winter gas stinks - before and after datalogs adding 2 gal of Sheetz E85

    On my older flex-fuel vehicle, I noticed the mileage penalty for "spirited" driving vs. light load, conservative driving is considerably less when running ethanol. The efficiency under load is so good that the expected 20–30% mileage penalty is reduced to nearly zero. It's crazy, I mean, I...

    Amsoil 100:1 Marine 2 Stroke Oil

    My guess is the top 2 cycle racing oils lack the detergent pack to fullfill the Jaso FC/FD detergency performance requirement. It's trade-off: those additives take up space that could fit actual lubricant molecules. Ex: Amsoil has "Interceptor" product and a "Dominator" product. Both are...

    Could differences in viscosity (in same spec ATF) cause fluid noise or a humming noise in transmission after oil change?

    So did the Castrol ATF gave you any issues on you vehicle?
