What is the best 2-stroke-oil that can be bought with money? Heard something about Torco racingoil - maybe thats the best one. What do u use yourself?

Klotz, the best performing best smelling oil there is, I beat the A team on this post, compare the labels closely when choosing oil, some meet more strickter standards than others.

A-team, LMAO. Good one bartman. But seriously this has been talked about hundreds of times here. Doo a search and read for hours. The Amsoil has a lower pour point than the Klotz. Isnt the klotz pour point -25, if so I doo ride in colder than that. Just M2C

Klotz 2 stroke oil has a pour point of - 40 F, their chain case oil is - 25 F, here's a link to the spec sheet.

I myself use Amsoil, but I thibk it's a personal preference.
It's just like sleds, everyone thinks theirs is better. Pick one and stick with it.

just my .02

FZ700

I've been using POLARIS VES but will switch to AMSOIL Injector 2 Cycle Oil when this runs out. For the money ($14.00 per gallon for Preferred Customer) and 100% Synthetic, AMSOIL is the best. :)

I also run Klotz. have had no problems and just preforms up to my standards

what about MAXIMA oils?

Hmmm... a loaded question. But I would like to mention two things. One, pour point means nothing when all some manufacturers do is add a little more petroleum base to the oil to make it pour better when cold. Secondly, I would steer towards synthetic brands due to the molecular modifying that has been done to make the oil protect better. Just my opinion. I have used a synthetic brand for many years and have had no problems with wear.

Amsoil 2000! Write it down, ask for it by name! :thumbsup:

What about the fact that when some synthetics burn they leave byproducts like silica residue, this is like putting sand in your engine.I know this from owning rotary engines but that was from synthetic motor oil, is this the same case in 2 stroke oils ? :0:

I've used castro syntec and now useing xp bomby oil cause of a little cheaper price , but castrosyntec makes the oil for bomby! very good oils anyway , nice and clean cylinders and raves 5200 miles !

I USE AMSOIL IN ALL MY SLEDS AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY MOTOR PROBLEMS, I KNOW THAT THE 2 CYCLE OIL AND THE CHAIN CASE OIL BOTH HAVE A POUR POINT OF 75 DEG. BELOW ZERO AND THATS A FACT! , I WOULD USE THIS OIL BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE. :)

i use torco

the question should be what kind of oil do you use!

Klotz, just pour it in and go. You will be glad you did!

I'v been useing klotz for years and am totaly sold on it, i have a 97 mach z with the motor worked over and i absolutly pound it.I drag race it, i lake race it, wherever i go i am always wide open , i'v held it wide open on the lake for miles and never had a problem with it. I turn 8600rpms when i'v got it to the bar and like i said i'm always wide open. One of my rideing buddies is a mechanic at our local dealer and he uses klotz exclusively,he's worked on many motors and has seen first hand what a poor guality oil can do to a motor. Klotz is fairly expensive oil compared to amsoil or some of the other brands but you get what you pay for.

Same here, I asked a mechanic at the Cat shop, and he also runs Klotz. It costs more,but to me it's worth it. Ams oil would have been my other choice, I have not heard one bad thing about Ams oil.
You can find cheaper oil, but I look at it this way If you only get to ride 3 months out of the year and you have thousands stuck in a new machine, cost is no object for motor protection.
To each his own on this one!
:thumbsup:

Skidoo XP.

I'm on the A-team.

What you looking at FOOL (said in my best Mr.T voice)

But mainly because I can't seem to find Klotz easily. It does however smell better.

Either Amsoil or Klotz, you won't be disappointed.

I use Injex by Phillips 66. $14/gal. Most rated oil (is it TCW3?) i think will work fine. I quit using the Ski Doo Synthetic oil and ask others to do the same. It smells awful, and makes my eyes and lungs burn. Who cares what it does for the enjine - it makes me sick!

Ruby red AMSOIL...(1/4 of all my posts have been to the "what oil to use threads)

i really like the maxima, but i seem to be the only one that usees it, it was new to the market last year for use in snowmobiles, it has been around for years for motorcycles.

Amsoil is the best oil you can put into your sled period.

Its pour point is -45 which i think is good enough for any sledding conditions.

But amsoil is so good they claim you dont even need to fog your engine for summer storage becasue the oil protects it.

We can get into a length argument over this one using numbers and facts, and possibly stories. But the fact is that Amsoil is a proven oil that IMO is the best possible thing you can put into your sled or any 2 stroke for that matter.

One of the things to look for is how the oil in question is rated. Every reputable oil has been tested according to accepted standards (ASTM). They set the standards for a wide variety of product qualities including pour point, viscosities at various temperatures, specific gravity, ash content and so forth. They do make an objective way to compare lunbricants for a given application. Snowmobiles do not need oils rated TC-W3. That is for outboards.

Pour point is but a single quality but Amsoils at -44 or 45 depending on which one are not the lowest. Phillips Synjex at -55 is lower and Citgo Marine is only one degree more. That doesn't make any of them the best however. I would also consider what happens to the viscosity at higher tested tempratures. Maxima, Phillips, Pennzoil, and Citgo all have products which beat some of the wonder oils. Of course that also doesn't tell the whole story.

In any case, there are good oils to be had and you don't always need to go to the bank to pay for them.

amsoil for price and performance gets my money.
