| |  Synthetic Oil Question
Hi, I did a search on synthetic oils and seems its the way to go after break in. At my local shop they have the following oils: Amsoil Interceptor Amsoil 2 Cycle injection Oil
They also have lucas semi synthetic oil.
Which is the best to get? Also these are labeled injector oil, but it says ok to mix as a 50:1 -- Seems crazy to go that high. What would everyone recomend for an 80 cc china engine? |

I have been running the Lucas for about 10 months now and I am liking it very well. I have heard good things about the amsoil but it's difficult to find and a few $$$ more. And I switched to the Lucas to save some $$.
I run 32:1 with the Lucas. |

Those are both the same oils. One (Canada tire) is just an old picture. Interceptor will work, but 32:1-40:1 are better ratios with this oil for the HT engine.
Better Amsoil choices are Saber, which you can easily go to 50:1 with on a HT engine. Remember the OIL and then the application can determine the ratio. Another great choice from Amsoil for a well tuned HT engine is Dominator. This is what I run at around 32:1. |

But I really did not notice any difference from the full to the semi-synthetic except in my wallet. |
