I was able to find a dealer not too far from work that carries Opti 2. I'll probably use some of it before I put the bike away for the winter. A 1 litre bottle sold at $21.95 plus taxes. That should last me a while. Can't wait to try it out too to see the difference.

OPTI - 2 ???? I use it in my BridgeStone 35cc . This summer, I was pulling my boat with my motorized bicycle and obviously the most heavy load ever that my motor has been under and my motor ( 5 years since May 2013 ) is still running. I run OPTI at 25-30 : 1
Yep I'm glad that i'm still here to talk about it, cause this summer, i did a 5 day 107 mile trip with my Dagger Mumba kayak , alone !!! From Drayton Valley to Edmonton.
I almost died twice. Yep, between Devon and Edmonton, the river is big, but almost like a lake. Hardly any current but in Drayton Valley, and for 50 miles, that river is a nightmare...rapids round evry corner. Next year , if i'm still around, i wanna do a Rocky Mountain house to Edmonton twice as far and i hear that the river up there is even worse.!!! ( NorthSaskatchewan River )
Anyway, back to the topic, and yes i use OPTI 2 and it's great oil,

The only garden store in my city that sells any Opti at all sells Opti4, I asked why no 2?
I was told they don't carry it because it doesn't sell.
My thoughts are why?
No one knows about it and how can they try it if they can't buy it?
I got my Dad to pick up a few large ketchup packets of Opti2 in Maine, imagine that, got to go to the USA to get Opti2.
Have you tried contacting them direct and asking for distributors near you? They're pretty good about knowing where their products are sold. They might also be interested in the dealer who doesn't stock 2 stroke Opti.

On there website they have a list of dealers...you just enter your location and it will give you the closest dealer. You'll see on the left of there home page...locate a dealer
One of the dealers that was on the list near me did not carry Opti 2 but it showed on there website they do. I emailed Opti and gave them the update and they appreciated it.

Not sure if this is the correct thread for this, but below is a link that might better help some of us understand the lubrication issues our little engines face (the very last paragraph possibly contains the most important points in regard to general 2 cycle engine lubrication).

You're more than welcome 2door. It's the least I can do for you and everyone else in here. Like I said earlier, the good people here in the motorbicyling forums saved me from making the mistake of running an inexpensive 2 cycle kit engine without tearing the top-end down first.

Well,wonder if this Opti 2 is as good as Lucas.I doubt it.
One of my bikes was put together in 1964,still runs fine with Lucas..hum.
Can you run the Lcas at 100:1?
I run lucas full synthetic in my Harley but what n it comes to 2 stroke oil I run Opti2, it is in the top of the top of the best. Stroke oils you can buy, not saying it is the very best for very situation but for management yars it has been proven to be superior to most others or there wouldnt be equipment rental businesses who ise it exclusively and say the reason is because for many years they have never had a piece of equipment fail do to oil related reasons, Opti2 is a top rated product and it is all I use in my 2 smokers... I will add a teaspoon of Maxima 927 Castor every so often to a gallon of fuel that's I run in my bikes but mainly just Opti2 at 100:1 99.9% of the time.
Bottom line is that it works and is superior protection compared to any other dino oil or semi synthetic 2 stroke oil in my opinion and experience.

KenX i have 66cc that has been run 100-1 opti2 from day one . even broke it in at 100-1.
it now has 2000 trouble free miles. runs like a striped azz ape.
i just pulled the motor off to do some port work and mill head.
i checked the ring gap, same as new i checked befor fireing it up the frist time and i used my bore gage and no wear in cylinder bore. try that with 30 wt at 30-1 20-1 or what ever.
you just need to tune the carb for 100-1. getting 145 mile per gal.
plus no smoke, no stink, no unburnt oil all over every thing.
so just stay in the stone age good luck.
