Hi everyone,

I use mineral oil in my dt125 , i am hearing mixed reports on this over a synthetic, what is everyones opinion of it and how strongly ?

Also i am looking to do some touch ups on the silver swing arm and black frame but for the life of me i cant find any paint codes or places that sell it. Preferably id like paint on paint :eusa_shifty: , rather than spray cause its just touching up.

Anyone know where or how i can get these?

Two-stroke, has a base oil, & additives, [ one or two components] or multiple components, depending on the demand of the oil,, [ hi temp ,race,]

theres 3 kinds of base, synthetic/ mineral/ vegitable. synthetic are petroleum based,

V,I. [ viscosity index] is measure of thikening at low temp. higher the number the less likely to change at exterme temps.

Low-ash, is detergents added, to stop hydrocarbons build up. [ a must for power valve engines,,]

any oil with code,, API- TC. Is fine you"l find this on back of bottle ..

Some oils [ thick] like Castrol R40 & Shell SX [mineral] are for pre- mix ,,

Simples eh,,, :eusa_whistle:

This oils number is 10.4 - which is higher than its semi synthetic counterpart, is that bad then ?
