NEV Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 I asked a bloke, the other week, who'd been a bike mechanic for over 40 years, what 2 stroke oil he reccomended, he suggested this stuff,Oregan Chainsaw Oil. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oregon-Chainsaw-Super-Saw-Chain-Bar-Oil-Fits-Stihl-5L-/160564492554?pt=UK_Home_Garden_GardenPowerTools_CA&hash=item256263b90a and after seeing a tv program about how chainsaws are made and the high performance parts inside I'd consider giving it a go, the only worry I'd have is it's a mineral oil and from what I understand mineral isn't so good in 2t bikes. Anybody tried this? or can anybody enlighten me about the pros and cons of synthetic oil, v mineral? cheers Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdkick Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Hi - worth an argument on this one!! Remember you dont get 'out for nowt' and being a local bike shop next to a Tesco we see a lot of two strokes bikes with running issues, no power and/or blocked exhausts - the oil is cheap for a reason and does not always burn leaving harmful deposits in the exhaust/engine which eventually, like yor arteries, get blocked - then the heart attack happens!! ..and as for Morrisons, dont even go there! We make a lot of money out of customers who use Morrisons fuel and oil - thanks Morrisons!! Personally - its worth the extra - you have been warned!!

David Baker Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I'm guessing your talking about the Morrisons Own Brand Oil's and Tesco Own Brand? Because we only sell carplan 2 stroke motorcycle oil in 500ml and thats the only 2 stroke motorcycle oil. I can tell you now, The Morrisons oil sells so much. I dont know why people dont wait till the Carplan stuff goes on offer. Hi - worth an argument on this one!!

blackhat250 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Petrol " if you go to the refinery, you"l see all the trucks, [ with Asda, tesco, brogan, etc,] filling from same bulk tanks, As for oils, you hardley ever see mineral oil nowadays , its near all synthetic or semi-synthetic, either way,,,its 10 times better than oils in 1970s , 25-1 it was common then, nowadays 50-1 is commonplace , tells you summat,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
