Do not use the injector oil, its not formulated for our two strokes.

Use either 100:1 mix or the 2000 which is mixed at 50:1.

Thats not what Amsoil says. If you look at their info it is fine for non injector use as well at a 50:1 ratio

That is news to me, as that was not the case not so long ago, they specifically said not to run the injector oil in a not injector motor.
Sorry If I misled anyone, but that is not the info I got.

I have just re-read the instructions, and your right, this part has changed somewhat, but with a twist.

If you use 100:1 Injector oil to be used in a non injector environment, then you mix it at 50:1
If you use 100:1 non injector oil then you mix it at 100:1

Sorry Dino about misleading you.

I was a bit worried myself as all I could find was injector oil so I scoured their web site an reasurred myself. It seems to work fine.
In the old days when injector systems were not so accurate we used to premix and throw it in the bikes tank instead of useing the injector.

Series 2000 Amsoil is a 50:1 mix where as the 100:1 is to be mixed 100:1 or as stated on the other post if its Injector oil, mix at 50:1

On a particular snowmobile engine setup the oil injector is delivering 20/1 at full throttle and 100/1 at idle ,just for a matter of interest.

Taken from WW.Amsoil.com
Note the remark about temp for you guys up North



Both AMSOIL Synthetic Injector Oil and 100:1 Pre-mix Oil mix readily with fuel even in low temperatures. However, AMSOIL Injector Oil with its -45°F pour point and SAE #4 miscibility and fluidity rating, is better suited for severe cold. It is recommended for use in injector systems as well as 50:1 pre-mix. Also, AMSOIL injector oil will help ease starting because it does not solidify or get gummy in the motor which allows it to turn over more freely.

Default Amsoil help not sure about this

Over the years, I have used most all of the oils for dirt bikes, like Castrol, Klotz, Belray, and even the Honda stuff in gas engines, both bikes and aircraft, with zero problems. Having read the SAE tests, and seen the data, I have no reason not to use Amsoil. It's just that it is far superior to all conventional oils, and on top of the heap as far as synthetics are concerned.

I'm using Stihl 2 stroke oil at 50:1 for all my gas burners. I've got 87 logged hours on a g-62 with original plug. Very little carbon build up inside engine. Cost of the oil is $1 for a 2 1/2 gal mix.
