How much and what kind of oil?

Post by the496rocket »

I am currently running yamalube in my aero 50, and Ive been told that that is not the best oil to use, what is good injector oil?

Also, ive read on this forum that you should go through about a tank of oil after about 3-5 tanks of gas. My tank on my aero holds quite a bit more than a spree, and I have run at least 3 tanks of gas, and I havent noticed the oil level decrease much. dont know if my oil tank is larger, I just dont want to sieze my engine.

I doubt that it matters a whole lot for a spree. But, the main thing you need to make sure you have is INJECTOR OIL. DO NOT USE MIX OIL OR MARINE OIL, this will cause massive carbon clogging in the exhaust port. Personally I use Lucas 2 Stroke Injector Oil, and it has worked fine for years.

I think youre oil usage is fine. I recommend Honda Genuinine GN2 two stroke oil. Its good stuff, and gets the job done, and its not too expensive either. Like $4 something for two liters at the dealer. I use it in my vento too. 8)
