Favorite Pre-Mix Oil

[johnnyo]

Well, Amsoil seems to be very popular. What about Maxima Castor 927? I was told it was good.
Trying to decide which oil to start running in new bike. I like to start off with a good oil and stick with it.

the maxima does work well. With the Castor/Benol oils, you need to be an A or AA rider. The ones that keep the gas pinned will benefit the most. I agree with running the synthetics for the average guys.

I have always tried to run company's products that I know support our sport the most. For years I ran the Klotz oils which worked well and smell the best IMO but mainly because they always had a support trailer at most of the races and would be title sponsor of some.

Times have changed now and other companies are stepping up and so has my oil choices. Don't know if there is any oil out of the big companies that is really better than the other, you just find what you like and want the best and run it. I just try to support the ones who support our passion to ride and race.

I use Champion Oils WP-2 and have zero complaints.

Same here. Great oil.

Motul 800, occasionally the 600 bikes and weed whacker since '99/'00.
Never had much of a spooge issue with it in my YZ250 [175hrs on last top end], but my 01 [GG] 250xc drips out of the silencer and exhaust connections.
50:1 ratio in both bikes and the weed whacker.

I like Amsoil dominator. Works great for what I do.

I used to run Silkolene Comp2. Very good clean burning oil at 40:1 but they quit offering it in the gallon jugs, so I switched to Maxima Castor 927. Really like the smell of it until the next time I pulled the ex. off and realized how bad it carbons up everything.
Now I am running Maxima Formula K2 at 50:1. Seems to be a good clean burning oil. The only thing I don't like about it is its hard to tell if your gas has already been mixed or not. It just adds a real light brown color to the gas.

since nobody else seems to run it I'll mention I (we) use Royal Purple. I won a case of it 7rs ago and we've both been using it ever since. We had used Amsoil before that but this is easier for us to get.

I hope you are not still on the same case???

someone used a Motorex Cross Power?
have experience of using it in a ratio of 1 to 70 (100 ml to 7 liters)
I rode on it with the proportion is 48 hours. everything is in order)

p.s. written on the packaging mix 1 to 100

haha, no, that case is long gone but my son works for the local auto parts store and they're a Royal Purple dealer so we get a good price

 

[GasTimppa]

I have used Valvoline, Castrol and Motorex oils before. All syntetic oils. Last two seasons me and my team have used Q8 oils.

 

[Front Royalty]

BelRay H1-R for me, 40:1, as it is very easy to get. Will post on the carbon factor once my motor is apart.

Am I the only guy using Opti-2

I thought opti was a 80 to 100 :1 oil,same as amsoil sabre

I have a friend who mixes the Opti at 100:1 and swears by it. He's been using it for years. He's the owner and only mechanic at Victory Motorsports.

just wondering why everyone runs the amsoil Dominator vs amsoil Interceptor? i know the Interceptor doesnt have any dye in it, but is there any other reasons. I thought that Dominator was for race engines mainly, stuff that gets rebuilt yearly or so.

 

['11EC300]

I run the Intercepter, the only thing I dislike about it is I can never tell if it has been mixed yet... and I have a shitty memory.
I try to mix it as soon as I fill a container.

Same here.

I think Dominator has a higher flash point. Just because its designated as a race oil, doesn't mean its only for engins that get torn down frequently. Quite the opposite, this oil gives outstanding engine life in anything I've used it in over the past twelve years. Its not a castor oil and the PV stays super clean. If you run a spark arrestor it will spooge a bit more like any high end synthetic but I don't care about that.

Amsoil Saber 80:1 for the last 4 years. Dominator 50:1 before that.
