best oil to mix with petrol

[beemerman]

daft question my px 125 arrives in 28 days , yes i,m counting down the hours , anyway its 22 years since owning a scoot can anyone give advice on best oil to mix with petrol and any maintenance tips would be most welcome thanks in advance...

Whether your PX is a later model and has autolube, or an earlier model (or if the autolube has been disconnected) and you are pre-mixing in the petrol tank, you should be using fully synthetic 2-stroke oil.

Personally I use Selenia, but there are plenty available.

Not a daft question by the way.

cheers for your reply the scoot is an 06 model so i take it an autolube model, blimey no more shaking scoot on petrol forecourt to mix it with petrol ahhh they were the days all be it 23 years ago lol

I've got an 06 PX and have always used Rock Semi Synthetic without a problem

i would use full synthetic only if the engine is kited and high-reved
rest of the time, a good (known manufacturer) semi-synthetic will do

Any decent brand fine, I always use Putoline semi synth, but that's because it's the only brand my local dealers sell!

Since i switched to Putoline full synthetic, mine's run altot smoother. Mind you, i do think that every engine has it's own quirks and what works well for one might not be the same results for another. so might be a case of just trying out a few different brands.

cheers everyone for advice much appreciated

You should only use fully synthetic with autolube

[bryno]

Why?

I'd like to know the reasoning behind that statement too?
