Hey Gang

I can give you some facts about the two stroke oils. I was into dirt bike racing and my son was later into it. I am sure a few more companies have popped up that makes good oil, I won't have any information on them.

Stihl is very proud of thier equipment, they want to keep thier good name so they want thier equipment to last long. They spenta lotof money when we started adding alcohols to our gasolines to countermand the effects of the alcohol insidethe cylinder on thier two strokes For pump gasoline you can't get better and I'd think you'd be hard pressed to find any as good. Thier research is ten and one. The Stihl oil I use comes in the red bottle, They have a new synthetic out, but Iwon't use it.

For leaded gasoline LL Av Gas or racing Gasoline, For me Yamalube is the way to go. When Yamaha was kicking everyones tail on the dirt bike scene in the 80's and 90's, all the racing teams were using Yamalube in thier bike, whether it was Honda, Suzuki or what ever make. Because it was common knowlege among the racers that yamaha had done the same thing with thier two stroke oil that Stihl did, spent a lot of money testing and researching

There are still a lot of the old two stroke Yamaha's outthere racing and Yamaha is the only murdercycle dealers I know of that sell leaded racinggas and the oil mix.

I am quitesure there are some othercompanies out there with quality oils, I can't speak for, nor againstsynthetic. I won't use it

For myself, pump gas gets Stihl, racing gas gets yamalube
