Klotz R50 for Two Cycle engines?

[mtgrs737]

I have some Klotz R50 Racing Oil that I was thinking about using for my two cycle lawn care engines. I mix at 32 to one for all my engines. I have no experiance with this oil and have been using Amsoil Saber with no problems so far. Has anyone used R50 and are there any problems with it? Thanks!

Isn't that a Caster oil? I've heard that bean oil will coat the bearings. If you switch back to conventional or synthetic oil it will cause a seizure.

I dunno how true this is.

R50 is a synthetic oil. It will work well in nearly any application. I have used it with good results.

I prefer Mobil 1 MX2t, as it is cleaner and my engines last a bit longer on the M1. But the Klotz is a fine oil.

It will work fine. I love the smell of Klotz oil!

Thanks for the input, I didnt see much about Klotz oil and was wondering if it was any good. I used to ues Klotz back in 1972 in my then new Kawasaki 500 triple two stroke and it seemed to work alright. I quit using it because the $2 a quart was getting too expensive for a 16 year old with an after school job. Castrol Grandprix was around 50 cents a quart but smoked alot more.

R 50 isn't a Caster oil. It is an older synthetic formula. It is a good oil but not the cleanest burning compared to some of the newer synthetic oils out now. It sure does smell good.
