2 stroke oil amsoil dominator or redline racing oil?

[ACTION JACKSON]

Lot of good information here on this chat. What's a man to do with all these decisions. I used dominator All the way I have not had any problems but who's to say. It's all good information take your pic you can use regular oil to start out with it won't take long to break it in just go out in your garage run it for a little bit shutter down let it cool start it up again let it cool and continue until you run a half a gallon through it and be happy

Amsoil Dominator or Motul 800.

Opinions are like A-holes everyone has one! Lol

Mine is 10 oz. of Redline to a gal, then drive it like you stole it!

Haven’t had a failure yet

Told my future wife that.. when she races soon..lots of a holes it's the gift that that never stops giving. Hahahah

Should I just do synthetic blend first gallon then go to full synthetic ?

Should I just do synthetic blend first gallon then go to full synthetic ?

"Break- In Oil Fully synthetic oil can be used for break in purposes. However, due to the ring and cylinder hardness, these oils will take much longer to properly break in the motor. It is recommended to break in the motor using quality petroleum based or mineral based oil. The recommended break-in oil is Lawn Boy Ashless mixed at 28.5:1 ratio. This will be 4.5 ounces per gallon. The break in period on this oil will be for approximately one gallon. Many oils are not compatible with one another. The Lawn Boy Ashless oil seems to work very well when followed by running most all synthetics afterward for normal operation."

I run a gallon thru a motor with Quicksilver then switch to Motul 800 2T full synthetic.

 

[Bill-SOCAL]

What it's worth I've been using Red Line in every gasoline engine I own for the last 20 years that's everything from Zenoah 26 cc motors all the way up to 200 cc four cylinders in my big aerobatic airplanes, wouldn't use anything else

Don, how much oil to a gallon of gas are you using for break in?

 

[Ronnie King]

10 ounces of Redline 2T to 1 gallon of ethanol free gasoline, engines are beautiful inside after many hours & no catastrophic failures for me to date.

iPhone users can download the app called Pure Gas to locate ethanol free fuel in the area you are in.


Good Luck !

I used 9 oz of Dominator to a gallon of rec fuel in all my gas engines because that is what my original engine builder told me to use. With that, I was always getting this oily "splooge" all around the carb area inside and outside of the hull and cowl after every run.

I talked to Roger Pane about this and he told me to use Klotz Super Techniplate synthetic at 10 oz per gallon and that the castor oil in it is the advantage to using that oil.

After switching, I have never seen that oily "splooge" again.

Just my $.02...

I run 10oz. all the time, even after break in when switching to the Motul.

 

[Shannon Muth]

With the RPMs that modified engines turn, you can run full synthetic and that ring will seat in short order. 8-10oz Red Line

 

[Rodney Rogers]

Redline oil only for me all i ran my DA 50cc and DA 100cc aircraft.

 

[Rodney Rogers]

i break in with 5 gal %100 gas with Pennzoil fossil oil then switch to redline.

I run both but switch back to klotz Been using it since 1978 in my dirt bikes to lawn equipment had good luck with klotz I use it it from day one in all my gas engines in my boats I did take one motor out lost water this year the ring stuck crank and bearings were still useable my old homelite gas trimmer going on 20 years with no maintance still starts every time always uses klotz the carb hasn’t even been apart

 

[Dave Gilles]

what exactly are these oil brands made of that makes them different? instead of talking our favorite brands lets dig into the actual chemical and molecular differences.

also how is everyone running through 5 gallons of gas? I burned 2 gallons in 2024 between 4 boats. It takes me about 150 laps to burn a single gallon.

Redline oil only for me all i rain my DA 50cc and DA 100cc aircraft.

the reason the piston is carboned is likely because he was likely running Motul 800 which has double the flash point temp over redline. The engine was never getting hot enough to burn off the oil. He could have also ran too much oil given that it has so much more heat tolerance.

 

[Kristy Wallace]

Thinking about trying IPONE Samurai oil heard good things..
