Title: 2 stroke oil analysis chart
Post by: flounderpounder225 on February 15, 2014, 06:42:30 AM

Last summer I switched to pennzoil synthetic blend after reading on THT that HPDI owners were having less plug fouling issues than with yamalube.  And it seems to be true so far.  Anyway, SAMs club here has the premium plus for 13.88 gallon, but everyone sells XLF, which is also a synthetic blend, so I was researching the difference and found this on the scream and fly forum. Just thought it was interesting because the "Oil" discussion always comes up every now and then, and this is an independent lab analysis... Just info
