Subject: 2 cycle oil air cooled or water cooled?

However, I have noticed a considerable difference in the price
of 2 cycle oil which makes you wonder what you are getting
additional
for the
higher priced stuff.  For example a gallon (U.S) of Pennzoil Marine
Synthetic is USD $18.57 a gallon.  AMZOIL on the other hand for
their
ATC-01
2 cycle oil is $30.60 a gallon.


And I've been using Super Tech from Wal-Mart for $5.94 a gallon in my
'87
RX-7.  Been using it for two years now after Paul mentioned he had seen
it
in his local Wal-mart.  It solved the problem that I had with the sticky
apex seals, but I'll not know what else it may have done 'till I rebuild
it
just before I put it in the Long Ez.

But, so far as far as I'm concerned...it's putting a burnable oil in the
gas
that does the trick, instead of injecting regular motor oil, regardless
of
the brand or "additives". It meets the TC-W3 oil spec...anything else
needed?

Sounds like the answer to me.  If it meets the TC-W3 oil specs then it is as
good as the high priced stuff.  Thanks for the tip, Harley, Paul.
