TBH you don't hear of many bad 2T oils and the deciding factor usually comes down to cost.

Each to their own but I've stopped using Exol a couple of years ago due to major issues. I now use the oil in the link above. Highly recommended by Scotty and the DSC Race Team. I've 5l of Exol in my garage that anyone can come and get if they want it.

I agree with your comments regards Exol I had problems with both my scooters using it. I have been using Rock oil groundsman since without any problems.

Sorry to resurrect an old post but I'm on the hunt for a new oil to use after just having to have a new RT225 kit fitted to my series one after the old kit was totaled (Nicasil irregularly worn on one side of the barrel and rings badly worn, crank also twisted) I've been running 3% Exol optima fully synth and E5 fuel for years. The mechanic who did the work reckons the oil is very likely to be the reason.
Is the oil in the above link still giving good results? How about the Rock Oil Groundsman is that still recommended? Anyone tried Stihl HP Super? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/385716577245?epid=9027198346&hash=item59ce7fe3dd:g:VUEAAOSwriVknDuw&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwCupaOAAJf0Zy7lNrZIwWUUD8Dnc%2F9bXqZD98C%2F3Ur%2BWVqctiqa0puJPpyt8pWYtfI811yychyzoSy%2FZB68Z7VvdWRLGGc0P1btYp%2F8M0gKffysmfmoKXluPUUHXFJYVOhPn0ttApPxeDYP3AbtBkm27jJUXZDglBtlbkPJNC41DM0MENGiW2yFCGh%2FEApU4xE1WE8APXgTgHXLSyMgtEd4plsZjEBeHDwfOwe%2FK5BSu1fswV2BAbdP4QChfGT02MQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5iw-9q-Yg
thanks In advance!
Speedy Hufton wrote:Lots of good opinions here and I hope yer get sorted. Now personally because I'm curious I use 3 different ones in my 3 lambretta motors, well I did, now just 2. I've always run 4% but I like to personally. Now my ts1 225 was Rock oil synthesis injector, my cast gt200 kit is putoline classic scooter x ester tech fully synthetic and in my jet 200, open mouth cast iron, Ralph saxelby stage 4 200, I use SIP Race fully synthetic.
Now lots love Rock oil and that's fine, but in 4,880 miles I have had a b grade and d grade piston(asso), now a replate back to Agrade oh and now big end bearing , so new crank built for it. Not impressed with it especially since its so pricey. Swapped to the putoline in this, 2,000 mile check and its fantastic. No carbon, film on crank, bore, piston and head but nothing stuck in, like Exol always did, so top oil I think. Finally the SIP race. 10,000 mile strip on open carb!!! Yes wrong I know but I've a spare crank, pistons and rings in that and oversized too. I was amazed because I hammer this scooter always. Full bore on motorway and in for fuel, straight out again and full bore, everything a cast iron hates!!!! Strip down for check and minimum new rings, yikes, I couldna believe it. No carbon, the polishing on the ports was as new, film protection brilliant and no carbon. Only changed the plug twice in 10k also. I've treated her to new rings, that's it. Price on this has gone up due to brex shit, but I've just bought a case at £90, 12 litres. £7.50 a litre. So there yer go. Cheers, Speedy
