I found some 2 stroke oil that says 50-1 and the brand name is "Coastal" Is this okay to use just like Wal-Mart brand to put in fuel for lube?

 

I don't see why not. IMO 2-stroke is 2-stroke.

 

Does it have to be ashless i.e. marine grade? The Walmart SuperTech brand is ashless.

 

SO it needs to be marine grade?

 

I keep reading it should be ashless and marine grade is ashless. But I don't know what the consequences would be if it isn't ashless.

 

Alot of people here use the regular 2-stroke oil with no probs. I do.

 

i'm gonna be using yamaha 2 stroke oil i have sitting in my garage. im sure it will be ok. the marine grade ashless might be better but i'm sure any old 2stroke oil will do.

how much are you guys running per gallon?

 

1oz/gallon is what they say to use. I'm gonna pick some up this weekend and start using it.

 

Someone was telling me they put ATF in with their diesel, about 2qts for 35 gallons

 

good deal, I couldn't remember if it was 1 or 2 oz. per gallon.

 

also, i just looked up on Online Conversion - Convert just about anything to anything else that one quart = 32 ounces. so you need a little more than a half-quart per tank.

 

I use a pint per tank.

 

it needs to be ashless for the new engines to keep there emissions legal. our trucks could care less.

I got to ask why though, fuel is expensive enough. why pour in oil that cost even more a gallon then diesel????

Diesel Rod

 

I got about 1-1.5 mpg increase when i switched. At $4 a gallon diesel on say a 14mpg truck. thats about $0.286 per mile. If you jump 1mpg to 15mpg it costs $0.266 per mile. Thats 2 cents a mile cheaper and 30cents a gallon cheeper. At 1oz/gallon 2 stroke would have to be $38.4 /gallon or $4.80/pint
