dont know that oil personaly , but rule is when running in use mineral oil an then switch to semi-synthetic,am guessing that oil will be fine .personally i just buy the cheapest i can find in local diy/builders/garden centre-merchant i can find . my logic is , its kept in a damp shed,brought out occasionaly ,an run at full throttle then put away with minimal maintenance, what is it ,scooter or lawnmower . an cheap chainsaw oils made to same spec as fancy moto-crosser/outboard oil , just half the price,H

I ran out of 2T recently (my local bike store must have just closed when i got there) and went to 6 x different garages to fill up, only to find none of them had any quality oil to mix in. I guess that would be fine for a stock scooter but i didnt fancy anything but the best for my pinasco. About 20 miles later, the 7th garage i went to, after almost running out of fuel, had some oil with those magic words.. "Race tuned". It had a magic price tag too!
I always use fully synthetic. Putoline Classc X whenever i can, as I have two local suppliers to choose from and i like to use them whenever i can. The only heat seize i ever had on a stock p2 engine was with rock oil semi-synthetic. I can't say for sure it was that but im never going to use semi or rock oil again.
I think it comes down mainly to the flash point. The more expensive stuff for tuned motors has a higher flash point. I think!!??
*edit. I meant to add, that oil is for water cooled engines. You need a JASO or ISO type of oil ideally.

Is there a difference in 2 stroke oils for water or air cooled engines?
