godlygaz Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 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 , rather than spray cause its just touching up. Anyone know where or how i can get these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 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,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godlygaz Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 V,I. [ viscosity index] is measure of thikening at low temp. higher the number the less likely to change at exterme temps. This oils number is 10.4 - which is higher than its semi synthetic counterpart, is that bad then ? 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 .. which it has, good good Some oils [ thick] like Castrol R40 & Shell SX [mineral] are for pre- mix ,, This is mine , just got it from the local garage, http://www.commaoil.com/productsguide/view/6/267 its in the autolube system, which i assume is ok ?
