Which 2 stroke oil?

[bamabulletboy]

I am having my Mariner 260 reworked. I am unsure on what oil to run. Amsoil, Royal Purple, Klotz Etc.Would like some suggestions on this topic.

If you can afford it your not going to beat <U>Alisyn Oil</U>. My 280 lived a long time on 32/1 Syn. Pennzoil....rebuilt it due to hours, nothing else.

I have heard good things about Royal Purple , so as of now that is what i am leaning towards. Thanks for your opinion!

I run 100% sythetic Pennz in my 260 Was just fully modified by Jay Smith and that is what he recommended.

[skeeterman202]

amsoil.

Scamsoil?

[Bullet 20xrd]

What ever synthetic you can afford to run all the time, and also you have to figure availability, allot of the products are hard to find if you are @ a lake and need oil.

[bamabulletboy]

Dale, what brand oil do you suggest?

i buy a 55 gallon drum of MERC Premium Plus---last a while

Well I use Quicksilver Synthetic Blend, Wal-Mart, AutoZone any many other chains carry it, It’s a good oil, good price, and available everywhere. Now don't get me wrong there are allot of good oils out there. I do believe Mercury and Quicksilver are the same, I think one bought out the other 5 or 6 years ago. And as far as scamsoil some people swear by them, not me I am a blue collar guy and can't justify spending way to much for every product. Haven't found a cheap product from them yet and I work with allot of distributors. That being said, it’s a matter of choice whatever you prefer. I will only tell you one thing I would live by and that is Synthetic, can't go wrong. Which ever one you use they are all good just a matter of $. Mercury, Quicksilver, and Scams in mean amsoil , Royal Purple ETC. Keep in mind this is only my .02 worth, different strokes for different folks Hope I helped you, and good luck on whatever you decide

Different 2 Stroks for Different Foks

BamaBoy,

Since it is a 260- Break in with 'normal' Merc/Quicksilver oil = premium plus. Once broken in switch to: 1. 100% synthetic Pennzoil or 2. Merc Performance Blend or 3. Klotz 333

It's your engine, do what you want, this is only my recommendation.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I am leaning towards Royal Purple @ 32/1. My engine builder Monty Skinner from Stovall Racing said hell no on the Pennz Syn. He highly recommended the Royal Purple. I am waiting on my powerhead to get back from Mercury so i have a couple of weeks to decide.

Do not break-in w/sync! Rings will not seat properly. Use cheapest fossil Merc oil you can buy. Run 50 gallons or so while varying & &lt;3.5K rpms before switchi9ng to sync.

If ya don't believe me ask Jay Smith.
