Citgo oil

[SteveG3]

While this is a tips board and not intended to be political I still think everyone should know this. I was at Academy Sports yesterday and needed to pick up some two stroke oil. I went to the shelf and saw Citgo along with several other brands. If you don't know Citgo is owned by the Venezuelan National Oil Company. This company is a major source of funding for our "good friend" Hugo Chavez . I tend to believe that if ole Hugo didn't make any money from his oil company for a few weeks he might change his opinion of the US

I bought some of it back before I knew about Chavez. The last gallon is in the tank, when it runs out, I will be changing brands. I would anyway because this oil smokes like a tarhill.

Yes, but unfortunately they also make Yamaha's oil and ring free

Are you serious?

[Sigma]

I have researched this from years past and present and yes im serious.

Most likely they make other brands for other mfg's as well.

Well that sucks.

If wal-mart still sold lubrimatic tcw3 I would be running it, it was cheap and good quality

Well I may try Evinrude oil since thats what the last owner used.

My yammie dealer said for me to use only yamalube or the merc oil Not sure why

Maybe they know something I dont

Because he is probably the only place around that sells it

My dealer said run what you want and run the same thing all the time.

Well the great new is the Miltary only is allowed to sell Citgo gas on base. Just a thought.

It is my understanding that the Super Tech that is sold by Wally World is the same as the lubrimatic was. They just have there Brand Name put on it now. Its in the auto side with all the oil and it runs $8.00-9.00 a gal.

I use it when there out of the Pennzoil, and in my other boats thats all I used

I do believe I looked at both MSDS's on those and they were not the same. I will have to try and find them again.

[macinckirk]

I would like to know also for sure, if you find out let us all know thanks

[Sigma]

here is some info, I have looked at several MSD's and warren also makes there super tech tcw3 oil depending on where you are at. It only makes since that they would have several suppliers of there oil.

Lubramatic is made for PLEWS by stant ? some kind of chemical co?

http://msds.walmartstores.com/search_results.asp

there are a few listings for marine oil on the list

[macinckirk]

Thanks for checking and also the link does not work for me, but its not made by the company I was thinking so I will not be using it as a back up anymore.

The Lubramatic I used for years

Now I run the penzoil 100% sync in this HDPI or there Sync Blend if there out of the 100%

where is Victorville Ca? sounds very familiar

[macinckirk]

Victorville is 40 miles south of Highway 40 0n the 15 it was a small town ( 15 years ago ) that you would blow though if you were going to Vegas from San Deigo, riverside and etc. most people would stop at Barstow for gas and etc ( Barstow is about 41 Miles north of victorville on the 15) Now Victorville has Out grown Barstow and is the place to stop we have about 100,000 people here now I'm about 40 miles from Big Bear also if that helps North west so I'm in the High D just up from the road from the Pass

I have probably seen the sign for it dozens of times on my trips to the in-laws in Pittsburg/Antioch Ca.
