Good oil for injected 2-stroke? By krylon80 (Read 429 times)

Hey All,

I have a 2-stoke '09 Zuma with oil-injection. What's a good oil to use? The local scooter shop sells Maxima Scooter Pro 2T, which I've been told is good: .maximausa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=21" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.maximausa.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=21. Another good but expensive suggestion was Motul 710: .motul.com/us/en-US/products/38" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">.motul.com/us/en-US/products/38
 
Also, some have suggested using Sea Foam added to the gas tank to remove deposits. I went to the Sea Foam website and they have multiple products. Just wanted to make sure this was what people were referring to: seafoamsales.com/sea-foam-motor-treatment/

Thanks

The Maxima looks fine. Yes, that is the right Seafoam and as "Jim" says, add it to the fuel tank to keep your carburetor clean. Don't fret about the oil. As long as it's two stroke specific it will be fine. The Maxima is a synthetic blend, that should be great. Regular dino two stroke oil served me fine back in the day. Remember that the oil lubes the bearings, rings and wrist pin and then is flushed up into the combustion chamber and burned. It doesn't hang around long enough to suffer molecular shear or Thermal Viscosity Breakdown and flows through the engine and out the exhaust pipe. Two stroke oil leaves fewer deposits when burned. If you ever saw an old sixties two stroke with clogged exhaust ports and muffler baffles from using regular four stroke oil you'd know why a two stroke specific oil is essential. Also buying oil from the dealer helps you keep your face in front of him when you buy oil. It never hurts to have a dealer on your list of resources.
