Freestyle R50 spooge vs K2

[Freakrider]

Anyone notice R50 produces alot of spooge compared to K2 which seems to be burn cleaner out the exhaust ?

Just pulled my b pipe after running r50 all season. Lots of sludge. 44:1 too rich on the oil maybe?

yes
50:1 much better for r50

Anymore comments ?

I'm curious as well. I've been making a lot of 40:1 R-50 sludge lately.

Castor makes alot of sludge if you mix on the oil heavy side.

R50 isn't tcw cert either. I know its good oil but that bugs me. Tc cert is not easy to get from what I've read

I used to run Skicraft and switched over to R-50 a couple of years ago. I may go back to Skicraft after my current supplies run out. That oil always seemed to burn a bit cleaner.

I would run skicraft or a tcw oil over r50 or castor anyday

The only time I have seen r 50 spooge is if your too rich.

Switching from K2 to R50 with no change in carb tuning it was noticed to be an issue. Did you run 40 to 1 ?

I moved from 40:1 to a 45:1-50:1 ratio. I noticed a little spooge from the 40:1 as well. Even my weedwacker didn't like it and that calls for 32:1.

I haven't had a problem at the 45-50:1 ratio.

R 50 is a good bit thicker than k2. I have always ran r 50 at 50ish to 1

Yes, R50 is 50 weight oil which of course is pretty thick oil. Alot of dirt bike forums point out the spooge issue and it's suggested that it's due to R50 ' s high flash point. If you're not on the pipe hard with rpm then spooge issue.

I'm starting to think you just like to say "spooge"

I keep a shop rag in my exhaust pipe to keep the R50 "spooge" off my garage floor.

All the high temp oil will leave a oily exhaust outlet. TCW3 leaves a soft sticky residue and standard JASO or APT-TC leaves a dry sooty residue. I like TCW3 for free ride stand ups. Save the expensive stuff for high performance setups.

Penzoil TCW3 for the win. Cheap, and ive never had a motor problem with it. Ever.

I've used that oil for years too without issue before pv motors, you ran that in your Dasa ?

That's all I've ever ran in stock engines. Can't beat 17 bux a gallon.
