You can't go wrong with Amsoil dude! Mobile synthetic is good as well. I am not sure if the kind of oil is as critical in 2 strokes since it just burns up in the combustion process. I think the mix ratio is probably just as important as the oil itself. But quality oil could never hurt. Again, you cant go wrong with Amsoil or Mobile synthetic.

I have not tryed a two smoke amsoil yet. I did try a couple of the others but pretty much stayed with the yamalube in the end.

i just buy what the nearest store has, if its name brand its ok... thats like asking where the best premium gas is, its all pretty much the same unless you wanna pay with a leg

as the saying goes....can you feel and use that extra 1hp? Most people will say no.

exactly, then why pay for it?

Well, as high as a 2 stroke will rev, you have to think that synthetic oil might prevent a little bit of top end wear over a long period of time. But is it worth the price you pay for the oil? I mean it normally doesn't cost all that much just to take the jug off and replace the piston and rings on a 2 stroke. I guess it just depends on how picky you are with your bike. I have seen no data on how much longer it would last just because of the oil you use. Probably not much if I was to guess! 2 cycle oil never gets the chance to break down like 4 stroke oil. It goes in fresh, and get's burned up!

yeah pretty much. it only needs a thin coat on the cylinder and a bit on the crank but thats really it, and it is constantly replaced (w/ a clean running bike) so as long as its gummed up knock off stuff its fine
