VP 2 cycle synthetic at Walmart

[Stonemason Jason]

I've never used the 2 cycle oil, but the VP SAE30/10w30 is a good oil, I've used it on 3 recent oil changes I've done for people & also to top off a Go-kart that was low on oil, I am impressed at how well it preforms & how long it stays clean.

All my local Walmart stores are selling VP 2 cycle synthetic oil now. I tried it and I must say that it has the mildest smelling exhaust of any 2 cycle mix I've used in recent memory. I contacted VP and asked them what the base oil is and they were very tight lipped about the base oils and would only say it's a blend of different synthetic oils. The SDS doesn't reveal any info on basestock. Anyone running this oil?

This stuff is great. Used to use it until I went 100 per cent premix, made by none other than VP Fuels. But if you like your own mixing, this stuff is definitely the ticket.

I bought some and am running it in an fs131r and fs100rx. Soon to be in my br800x. Such a difference going to this from Honda HP2. I felt like my machines just were not running to their potential on the 50:1 HP2, and I could not adjust out of the funk. After I filled the tanks with this VP I adjusted the carbs and there was a noticeable improvent in top rpm, and they just ran crisper. I am currently using 40:1 because the viscosity is on the low side. Once I get a better feel for what the VP is really all about I'll probably bump to 50:1. So far I'm thrilled. The smell is good, but light. I do like the smell of Saber better, but they are both good. Stihl Ultra flat out stinks, plus it runs too dirty. Never again. I'm no Amsoil fanboy, but Saber is very good. I'm just looking for a cleaner burn. Time will tell.

You will be extremely happy with the Vpracing but stick with 40:1

I also run the VP 2 cycle racing oil at 40:1 in my 2 cycle equipment. Thought is to provide a little more lubrication.

I have a mix of Stihl, Redmax, and Husqvarna handhelds and some larger Redmax backpack blowers. Never any plug fouling or performance issues.

None of my lawn equipment has any exhaust smoke at that ratio with one exception of a 24 plus year old Redmax line trimmer will smoke only if i run it low RPM (under 40 percent of full RPM) for 5 minutes or more. A quick WOT clears the smoke out.

Note: I used to run Saber without issue until I started using VP. Not planing to return.

I've recently switched to the VP. I mix 32:1 with regular 87 pump gas. Absolutely no smell, no smoke, runs very smooth in my little Husqvarna chainsaw.

How much is Amsoil?
I know the Quicksilver PWC Full Synthetic that FD rated is $14.97 a quart at Walmart.

Mercury says it meets FD, and it may, but it is not JASO certified.

Red Armor?

I went to Echo Red Armour recently and my two chainsaws (Stihl and Shindaiwa), pole saw (Echo), string trimmer and hedge trimmer (both Kawasaki) have never run better! Ratio is about 45:1 because I spilled a little gas.
