Quick question about oil

Post by sectorhead »

I have had my spree for a couple weeks now, and am just now running low on oil. My question is, what kind of oil do I put in it, and is it going to hurt if I mix it? I'm guessing any 2 stroke will do, but I dont know thats why I'm asking. Thanks again.

DONT put in just ANY 2stroke.. ex. marine 2stroke will gum up your engine like no other

best budget oil that works great is castrol 2t from pepboys, costs $4 a quart

lots of people recommend honda GN2, but its not all that great and left plenty of carbon deposits back on my old spree

and your just pouring into oil tank correct? no mixing involved..

If you can't find the castrol 2t, make sure to use a quality 2 stroke injector/injection oil, but if you forget to check it periodically and you are low while out and about, crap gas station stuff is better than running dry.
