Title: 2 stroke oil?
Post by: alexander-vmann on May 19, 2015, 05:40:43 AM

so i figured the previous owner of my 1993 kx500 had a fuel/mix rate about 20:!? becuse it's smoking alot and oil as been dripping from the exhaust scilencer, so i got to the nearest gas station to get 10 liters of gas to mix at 40:1 rate, but since i never owned a 2stroke bike before i don't have any oil to mix in the gas, and i'm wondering if the bottle of shell advance vsx is any good?

you really wanna get a good quality oil...gas station oil isn't considered good.
there's a few threads on here about 2 stroke oils...you should pick one, then stick with it...
here's a few threads to look through...

I myself have never used it...I can't even say if I remember seeing it at my local dealer, since it's out of Switz...maybe someone else on here knows if it's good.
