Need Help With Oil Selection

[HoodedCobra]

I just bought a 06 SJ the motor isn’t stock
And was wondering what kind of oil should I mix with this 2stroke… the guy has been using Lucas Oil in it and said he got it last year and didn’t even ride it a hand full of times. The motor its self looks very clean like they built it up and barely used it. Only has 15hrs on the vibration meter. I’m sure this question has been out a bunch before.
Thanks for the help

Yamalube is what is recommended by the manufacturer. I use the Mercury oil from Walmart. Or if you want to use some high end oil, then Klotz Skicraft is at the top of the list.

Time for this again?!?

Edit - Yamalube for me

Mr Ho uses only leftover cooking oil from the Chinese restaurant .

The cheapest tcw3 oil you can find.

The smell of Klotz burning gives me a woody, it’s worth it for that alone.

Use this at 32:1. Works good and prevents rust.

That’s my sexy time candle.

I don’t think the women appreciate much.

I picked up a ton of these on sale for 15$ a gallon a few years ago.

I just ordered 4 gallons of that because it is literally cheaper than any other oil that I knew about. I was burning through a lot of Supertech on my "mild" skis, I do spring for better stuff on the higher end motors although I'm not completely convinced it's needed.

My group has burned through 5 gallons so far. Plenty of 10+ second WOT pulls and race course laps at body beach combined with general river and cold high alpine lake abuse here in Colorado. Its boringly dependable oil and doesn't smell like supertech.

I almost signed up for a rewards card to get another ten bucks off but I'm not quite that cheap lol

I stole this from somebody here, but it is appropriate to the thread:




Klotz Ski Craft

P.S. I just ordered two oem Mikuni carb rebuild kits, and also rear sponsons from Waxhead, so I guess this applies to me too.

I think the oil you run depends on what you are running it in , high dollar motor, run high dollar synthetic oil especially if it's a stroker or power valve motor, stock 650 , 701 or with a few mods buy the cheapest thing you can find, running high dollar oil in those doesn't make any sense , eventually you will have spent enough money on oil that you could have just bought a new top end.
