I go purple

I prefer the Royal Purple oil. Easily available thru your local Advance Auto parts. Runs cooler, lubricates better, and keeps everything clean. I use RP in everything I own, vehicles, PWC's, lawn equipment, and snow blower. I swear by it. It's like $7.50 a quart:shocked::woot:, but worth every penny:woot:.

So expensive the Klotz ! I do love it, but so much cheap for quick !
I had a discount sponsorship with them, and anytime it was time to go to an event or email them, the service and sponsorship portion of the deal was really not all it should of been IMO.
As far a product.. Its the Cheese !
I personally ordered over the last couple years a good 25 CASES.
Just have not gotten the love back... SO i looking for oil options !

You shouldn't feel any difference between oils, but you can absolutely tell a difference when you tear the motor down after a season or two. Assuming the different oils provide adequate corrosion protection, the real difference is in film strength. Good oils are worth every penny in my opinion. Beans smell good too.:veryhappy:

Oils..

The harder you work the motor, the better oil you need.. It's all about film strength & migration time.. Just because your motor is oily when you take it apart doesn't mean your oil is working for you.. Look at the piston pin grooves, the wear in the pin area of the piston itself, the lower end bearings, etc.. If your Grandma is riding your ski, then you can get away with a less quality oil.. But if you enter Grandmas ski in a freestyle event then you need better oil that will adhere to the bearings surfaces, etc as you flog it..

My personal choice for a good running ski (not stock) is Klotz R-50, as it possesses all the qualities necessary. Maxima 927 is also very good, but as a "Castor based" oil it leaves more deposits and has a tendancy to seperate from the fuel when sitting. There are hundreds of "Good oils" available, and especially for lower compression motors (stock).. I see good results with Yamalue R, OEM Yamaha oil, Polaris "Blue" oil, Motul, etc. Since I'm on a roll, I will also add my preferred mixing ratios.. Stock = 40-1 Anything with a higher compression ratio = 32-1. If your mechanic tells you that extra oil fouls plugs, get a new mechanic.. You can run oil ratios as low as 12-1 and still maintain combustion if you are jetted / tuned correctly..

Sorry for the long post,
Randy
