Default 2-cycle oils again.

OK, I've seen two cycle oils that are formulated for water cooled
engines,a nd als0 two cycle oils formulated for air cooled engines.

I know the two cycles have a higher operating temperature that isn't
controlled by liquid and a thermostat.

Does anybody know of a web site that gives a good explaination of the
difference in the formulas? And does synthetic cover both types of
engines?

BTW, I will be running marine grade in my boat, and air cooled in my
weed eaters and chain saws.

"If a little does good, more oil added to the fuel doesn't necessarily
do better. in fact, too much oil will lead to excessive deposits and
could also cause exhaust smoke and spark plug fouling. not enough oil
can lead to piston skirt and cylinder wall scuffing and eventual
engine damage."

I can't believe that this guy was running the v-4 Johnson on about 30
to 1 or richer yet!

The thing is a mosquito fogger! He said he had to change out the
plugs about ever 10 to 15 hrs. now I know why.

Yes, it's hard to get a LOT of people to believe that just because a
certain amount of oil is better, then more won't necessarily be more
better! My V-4 wouldn't idle worth crap if you used 30 to 1!

And it make me wonder what other skull duggeries are in the fuel tank.
I'm not concerned about my weed eater, so I'm seriously thinking of
dumping it all into another container for weed work and starting
fresh. Who knows, he may have mixed the gas with Shell Rotella for all
I know.


i will say this, it does idle nicely after an initial warm up, though.

What is the advantage of using syn oil in a two cycle engine? If you are
using the correct ratio of a decent brand of dino oil, and the oil is
used in combustion as it is supposed to be...

And that's where I wonder why syn oil?
