Default Anyone ever use Klotz synthetic oils for their mix?

My LHS has Klotz oils in stock and i was wondering if anyone ever used it before.
I read alot about Amsoil, but no one around here has it. Is Klotz good stuff, or can someone recommend something else readily available to use.

Any info anyone has on Klotz, and if it is good quality, would be of great help. I am about ready to start the breakin of my MT and cannot seem to find the brands many here talk about.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

the best oil to use is castrol a700 fully synth - its a special oil used in 2 stroke motox bikes but can be found on the net easily or even ebay sometime - cost around £15 / $30 per litre.

Klotz is very good 2 cycle oil...alot of guys who race motocross run it...it's real low smoke..low buildup and very well lubricating properties. When I purchased my new KX250 the shop recommended it, however I had a case of belray at the house and didn't purchase any. But they swear by it...and every time I purchase a spark plug I sure hear about not using it. A spec sheet is available [link=http://www.klotzlube.com/tech/KL-100.pdf]here[/link].

Thanks for the responses, I guess Klotz it is. I looked up their site and they have been at this lube thing for quite a while.

I use Klotz Super Techniplate w/20% Castor Oil.

I mix it 32:1 and it works great. Very happy with the performance.

Go to www.klotzlube.com if your local motorcross shop or LHS doesn't carry it. You can order direct from them.

Click on products and then R/C Products. They make a lot of great stuff.

The Super X2 Techniplate w/20% BeNol Castor Oil is about $9.00 quart at the motocross shop and $9.50 off their site.

Very clean burning oil and seems to keep my motor running extremely well under all circumstances.

I honestly do not know, I can find out. I do know you can order Klotz from Tower for pretty decent prices.

I actually fired up my MT today with it in it, crank right over the first pull. Man these trucks are wicked!!
