Just seen this thread, and am intriqued.. just how much 2 stroke oil do you add, and how often??
Got some castrol 2 stroke in the shed, left over from the petrol mower my Dad had.. Might just be a good use for it?? ::)

Waste not....want not as he used to say  :y
1 oil part to 200 diesel

So thats er....about 360ml

Cheers for that Mark, will give it a go when I fill up next.. :y   Got a litre of 2 stroke in the shed, good for a few miles then  :)

My personal opinion is that it will help the diesel pumps remain lubed well and keep them reliable longer.

There's a big difference in quality and price of 2 stroke so before i empty my oil tank on the bike ( still needs new engine as existing one is knacked from main baring failure), Is the cheapo 2 stroke that i wouldn't dare put in a chainsaw not to mention bike/scooter any good for the job or am i looking at a good quality oil?

Im sorry im digging up a old topic without using the original post but feel that there's a lot of new members here joining on daily/weekly basis and thought that some of them might be interested in this topic.

Note; admin just delete if you want

TCW3  2 stroke oil is a very high spec oil used in outboard engines. May be over specked but if quality is your aim thats the one to go for
