G'day everyone,
I have never used synthetic 2 stroke oil Mowerfreak. I don't know I just think when these engines were designed and made, they only used mineral based 2 stroke oils. I am also a bit skeptical on how much protection these synthetic oils really give. The only thing I can think of is they probably burn cleaner than the old school dinosaur oil..lol
I was walking through the Bunnings lawnmower section the other day and I think every bottle of 2 stroke oil on the shelf is some sort of synthetic mix. Nothing they stock is just plain old mineral based 2 stroke oil. Why is that? Bad for the environment? Or because it's actually better for making your 2 stroke engine last longer? Because we all know they don't want that!
Yes I always have this idea that the companies want you to use less 2 stroke oil to wear down your engine faster. I always stick to 25:1 mix and never go less. If anything I might add a tad more oil but never less.
Yep think i'll stick with classic mineral based 2 stroke oil at the original mixing ratio of 25:1.
Cheers!
