FAQs

What is the recommended oil-to-fuel ratio?

The recommended ratio varies by engine manufacturer. Always consult your specific engine's owner's manual for the correct fuel-to-oil mixture.

Can I use this oil in a standard 2-stroke engine not used for racing?

While it can be used, this oil is specifically formulated for high-performance, high-RPM applications. For standard use, a dedicated conventional 2-stroke oil might be more cost-effective and suitable.

Is this oil suitable for marine engines?

Yes, it is suitable for high-performance marine 2-stroke engines, offering excellent high-temperature stability and protection.

How does this oil improve power?

It improves power through optimized lubrication, reduced friction, and promotion of cleaner combustion, which leads to increased efficiency and power output, demonstrated in dyno tests.

Will this oil prevent engine deposits?

Yes, a key feature is its ability to prevent carbon deposits and varnish buildup, particularly in the critical upper ring and piston crown areas, even under high-temperature conditions.

Can I mix this oil with other 2-stroke oils?

It is generally not recommended to mix different types of 2-stroke oils, as their formulations may be incompatible and could negatively impact performance and protection.

What is the shelf life of the oil?

When stored properly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the oil typically has a shelf life of several years. Refer to the batch code on the container for specific information.

Troubleshooting

Engine runs rough after initial use

Ensure the correct oil-to-fuel ratio for premix or that the injection system is functioning correctly. Some initial adjustment may be needed as the engine adapts to the new lubricant.

Excessive smoke from exhaust

Verify the oil-to-fuel ratio is not too rich. While designed for performance, overly rich mixtures can still produce smoke. Check your engine's manual for recommended ratios.

Spark plug fouling

Confirm the correct oil ratio and that the engine is operating within its intended RPM range. This oil is formulated for high performance; operating consistently at very low RPMs might contribute to fouling if the mixture is too rich.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers measurable power increases (3-5%)
  • Keeps engines exceptionally clean, reducing wear
  • Excellent protection at high temperatures and RPMs
  • Suitable for both premix and injection systems
  • Formulated for high-performance racing applications

Cons

  • May be over-specced for standard, low-RPM engines
  • Higher cost compared to conventional 2-stroke oils
  • Primarily designed for performance, not necessarily extended drain intervals

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
