Pablo has an add at the left of the page. Look under the P on the member list. His is the first name.

Quite few fellows are running one of the three Amsoil 2-stroke oils. See the for sale thread at the bottom for my special and oil description.

Mix ratio depends on the oil, your conditions,your fuel/air mix.

Saber is the most common and protects the best. 30:1 is even pretty oil rich with Saber. 40:1 is fine for a well broken in engine. The oil is designed to work up to 100:1.

I have been using Dominator at about 30:1.

Amsoil is very high quality oil or I think one of the best there is.

Synthetic 2 stroke oil only lubricates as a liquid. Once it is "flashed"at 237 deg F it no longer works.

Maxima 927 doesnt'flash until 427 degF and when it does flash, it firms dry polymers that provide even better lubrication as a dry lubricant. Its high flash point means you 'll see unburnt oil in the exhaust. Contrary to what Amsoil dealers will tell you, this is GOOD and not bad. The longer it is a liquid, the better lubrication it can provide. Specs and facts can't be argued.

Oh, I did have a lot of training as a tribologist as a test pilot in the military. For what it is worth,we never changed oil in turbine engines based on a schedule. All oil was sampled regularly and sent to an oil analysis lab. Lab would let us know what action we had to take and what wear we were seeing in the engine.

I'll convert the specsfrom SUSto Cst when I have time for comparison.
