Favorite two stroke oil

[wingtime]

I was wondering what everyone's favorite two stroke oil is.     Has anyone tried the West Marine TCW3?  or the Star Brite Premium?

I have been using Pennzoil Premium Plus for years with no issues.

As long as its TCWIII, I like CHEAP...

My favorite is Ying Sang Lee III.

That's the one with the special melamine additive right?    

I've been using Pennzoil XLF (X-tra Life Formula) in the old Black Max - it's made for older 2-stroke engines that can double as skeeter killers.  To help older engines work better, I think it has a little Geritol, some Poligrip, and maybe some Viagra in it.

What I do is go to SAMs and buy a case of TCW3 qts and then refill my gallon bottles.  3 gals for $30ish compared to $30 for one at a marine store.
Now my secret is out and oil prices will go up....

Yep John, that Ying Sang is the best I've found. But that Penz XLF is right there, fabrique' en Chine too. Its like dog food for maturer dogs. Graybeards, if you will. And yep, it does have those special additives you mentioned. For daily use. Makes her stand right up. If the moment is right, SHE will be ready.

There's a switch.

So how much do you usually pay for a case there?

All I see listed at my nearest Sam's Club is Havoline TC-W3
$40.52/12 qt. case

$13.50/gal by my old brain.

I just bought some of West Marines Premium TC-W3 2-cycle oil.  It's on sale right now for $14.99 a gallon.  I found out this is made by Star Brite and is the same product as their premium synthetic blend TC-W3 oil.  I have read good reviews of it on other forums.

i usually get my oil from advance auto parts,
PENNZOIL Premium Plus 2-Cycle TC-W3

roughly $15/gal

+1, It regularly goes on sale from 22.95 to 14.99, so I also make sure I pick up a few gallons when it does.

All kidding aside, have used the West lube, ran well. And nice to know that it is formulated by Starbrite; they produce a quality product.

I'll second the Penzoil, I used the synthetic back when I was building jetski motors, and I dis-assembled several motors that exhibited little scuffing and nearly no wear on the cylinder walls.  Also very good on carbon depositis.  Good stuff.
