2 STROKE for Yamaha

[robprid]

I dont want to spark a debate here , but having just recently aquired a brand new 130 betol Yamaha . I was wanting to ask the experts what 2-stroke oil I should be using ?

 

[thika]

I would also like to know

I think the best 2-stroke oil in the world is Husqurvana but it is way too expensive

Quick silver the better of ordinary 2 stoke oil stay away from the cheap ones.

I totally agree - and watch out a lot of guys buy the first 2 stroke oil that they can lay their hands on especially at garages where the pump attendends normally hands over the stuff, there is a deffenite diffrence between 2 stroke oil for air cooled and water cooled engines eg. running tempretures thus different viscosities.

 Just my 2 cents

Thanks a lot . I have also heard a lot of good things about Quicksilver . I guess I must start using that .

Isn't the Husqurvana actually meant for chain saws etc???  I can get the Stihl oil for quite a reasonable price, but are a bit weary to use it.  Will it have any negative effect on my motor???

I would be a bit weary of any "aircooled" 2-stroke oil . As somebody said earlier , the viscosity is in all probability going to be different as well as the emissions .

Guys these motors are air cooled and operate at much higher tempretures than outboard motors - both good products but use the right oil for the right application, oil ment for engines running at high tempretures and then used in engines running at lower tempretures might lead to some smoking and clogging as the oil will not all burn as it should leaving some residue.

Okay, I'll stick to my WM Penn Outboard, this specific motor has been running on it 3-4 times per week for the past 5 years, so no need really to change on something that you know works

For carb motors use Quicksilver Basic
For Fuel inject motors use Quicksilver Advanced

Not going into the this is better debate, but will tell you the Quicksilver oil is worth every cent.

I have used the Husqurvana oil on brushcutters...R100.00 plus per litre but doubles the life of the machines and NO stops! Only oil that worked!

Never knew for air cooled motors only, but that is the beauty of this site!

Thanks.

 

neilg,

when you gonna make your scuppers bigger? :temp:

Yamaha agent told me Quicksilver adv(blue one) is for autolube and the other one (red) is for pre mix motors.
