Oil rec.

Whats everyone using for premix? Ive been using wallmarts supertech tcw3 for $13 bucks a gallon apparently its made by penzoil, and its readily available and easy to take a quick drive to the store for some, anyone else using this??

That's too expensive oil for me, I get the $1.00 quarts at Family Dollar....jk.

 

[Freakrider]

Seriously for a few bucks more you can upgrade to semi synthetic blend with pennzoil marine...the super tech is non synthetic I believe. Have used that since 99 in the smaller motors.

Another oil thread. I use a blend of flax seed oil and goat piss. Jk. I go with yamalube

 

[haromang14]

Well in that case why run oil at all??? Run that poop dry nah mean, lol seriously tho, im just wondering because i know the supertech is for outboards and our motors can achieve higher rpms so i didnt know if it mattered, ran it all last season on my 750 with no issues that i can recall, just trying to make sure my new sxr is properly fed, thanks for the input tho

Been on this forum for a while and I haven't seen an oil brand related failure. Mix at 40:1 or 50:1 and you can't go wrong

 

[haromang14]

Doesnt that seem alittle low? Ive always mixed 32:1 on everything ive owned, and ive always been advised to by the techs at a yami dealership ive worked at to mix that ratio, 4oz per gal.

What weather do you ride in

 

[JT_Freeride]

I know amsoil guarantees there 100:1 is equivalent to non synthetic 50:1

 

[haromang14]

Im in jersey so i only ride between may and september, so summer

 

[JT_Freeride]

Honestly 40:1 is fine others will agree. I'm on Long Island so same weather guys here will run 40:1 or 50:1. I use 40:1 just to be on the safe side.

Gotcha

Yamalube

Just fyi sxr manual calls for 60:1.. I ran ran that for a couple years when brand new. Now I'm running mostly 40:1

 

[sxrchris]

and I mix wal mart supertech and kawasaki oil 50/50

What benefits have you seen with doing this?

I've tried to make self mix 60:1 and just can't do it, it feels so wrong. I'm at 50:1 since day one in 03'

50:1, Amsoil. I recently ran out and had to run some Supertec, I noticed it didn't smell as nice, but my ski ran the same...

Never mix oils. Why in the world would you run 28:1?



I ran 50:1 in my SXR with Klotz Benol. I talked with tech at Klotz and they told me it was fine to run but overkill on oil quality. This was on my stock class SXR that I raced. Never had to rebuild it from 2004(new) til 2009/10 when I sold it. Still had the same compression from day it was new.
