If I knew, I would have mentioned it.

More of a general statement.

2 oz of Valvoline 2 stroke oil with TCw3 per 10 gallons of gas has my car purring smoothly. I'm sold. If it eventually shits a cat out, then I have an excuse to upgrade.

I use lucas upper cylinder lubricant. It takes care of the crickets

Aaron_blatherwick · 05-06-2014, 12:52 AM

I just started using SeaFoam the last time I filled up, 1oz to a full tank. Will see if it makes a difference.

Synthetic ashless.

1oz per 5 gallon. worked wonders on my econoline's v8. The thing has over 100k miles and this was like adding 20ft/tq to the damn thing.

Crickets are gone in the FRS.

The ashless two stroke is intended to be used and combusted at a 1:20 ratio. We're using it a 1:600 or higher so I'm not worried about fouled plugs or cats.

Last fill up I used a couple ounces of the pennzoil tcw3 and I can say the engines quieter smoother and the crickets aren't real noticeable

I have used tcw3 2 stroke oil in my k20 for years. Shit's still clean as fuck and my compression is 220 on every cylinder, my valves look brand new. I swear by this stuff. It helps a LOT more when you're running e85 as well, that shit is relentlessly "dry" compared to regular gasoline.

I'm pretty sure any TC-W3 grade oil will work. The spec essentially means "ashless" or no residue/ash after combustion.

2 Stroke will drastically lower octane level. I only know this from my near two decades of building and racing rotaries. You can use it, but be careful. A better bet might be MMO.

With the quantity per gallon you'd probably use with a rotary, you're probably right. But 2oz in 13 gallons (832oz of gas to 1oz of 2-stroke oil)? I doubt it'd lower octane by 0.1 AKI, if even that.

w00t692 · 05-09-2014, 10:32 AM

I doubt it would even lower it by .1 lol Maybe hundreth's.

The rule of thumb is that a ratio of 1/2 an oz per gallon lowers it equivalent to 10 points.

By points you mean 0.1 octane. 10 points would be 1 octane.

that's 0.1 octane per 1/64th concentration (1 oz. per 1/2 gallon in ounces). now, the concentration we're talking about is 1/832 concentration. That's 13x as diluted. That's less than 0.1 loss in octane.

I mean 10 octane.
