The best 2-stroke oil is merely a matter of oppinion, but as a former Motocross and arenacross racer and cycle enthusiast i have had terrific luck with many brands including spectro, castor 941, klotz, and even some factory brand oils such as yamalube 2R; however the truth of the matter is that the brand of oil recommended by the manufacturer for whatever engine you have is most likely the best, and is almost always the oil that engine was ment for, also once you use one brand it is important that you avoid frequently switching back and forth between different brands of 2 stroke oils because each brand has slightly different properties and could cause a slightly lean or slightly rich condition resulting in possible engine damage, so what is the best for your 2 stroke engine? most likely this is going to depend on who you ask, what brand of machine they use, and if they are using something other than what is manufacturer recommended i am sure they will tell you to use whatever they feel has given them the best results by means of performance, engine life, etc. my personal preference is always manufacturer specifics unless you have an extremely modified engine, then you may have to test the waters for yourself. final answer: i have mainly always ran Yamaha 2-stroke such as the banshee ATV, yz125 dirt bike, and as a child a R/T 100 dirt bike and Yamaha's factory brand oil called Yamalube 2R has never failed me. hope this helps, and remember, if the manufacturer makes a brand specific 2 stroke oil it will probably give the best results for that machine, also make sure to mix the oil and gas ratio as close as possible to what you as supposed to, most performance engines such as those on racing dirtbikes and ATV's run around 32:1 meaning 1 ounce of oil to 32 ounces of gas, easier to remember as about 4 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline.

Hope you find this helpful...

The best way to know if an engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, is to look for an oil spout. If the engine has an oil spout where oil has to be poured into, it is a 4-stroke. If the engine has no oil spout and the oil has to be added to the fuel, then it is a 2-stroke.

There is no difference in 4 stroke and 2 stroke oil, except that 2 stroke uses non-detergent oil. 2 stroke oil is actually 30 weight non-detergent (30wt ND) oil. Oil with detergents will leave deposits in 2 stroke cylinders, and is not recommended.


What oil is faster 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

Oil is a lubricant. 2 stroke oil is designed to be mixed with gasoline and in that form it lubricates the engine. 4 stroke oil lubricates the engine but is not burned as 2 stroke oil is.

Does your lawn mower require 2 cycle engine oil?

If it is a 2-stroke engine, 2-cycle engine oil is added to the gasoline. If the engine is 4-stroke, regular 30W motor oil is used. To tell if your engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, look for a spout where oil is poured into the engine. If there is no spout, then the engine is 2-stroke and 2-cycle oil must be added to the gasoline.
