Next topic: What oil do you use, why, and where can you get quantities, and at what price?

 

Castrol TTS cannot be found (discontinued).

 

My bike mechanic (Powersports Honda) recommended Amsoil hp injector ($35/gal) and Amsoil interceptor ($39/gal, higher temperature additives for "power valves"). I told him it wasn't for marine, snow or road transport but for an ultralight, and I wanted all the obvious qualities involved in feeding my two-stroke engine.

 

He said HE could no longer get Castrol TTS from either of his suppliers, either, and suggested Amsoil would be the best.

Check out Aeroshell II plus (I think that is what it is called). I 

haven`t tried it yet, however, after reading about it, I plan to use 

it next spring. N598LF   At 03:28 PM 11/16/2011, you wrote:

That ought to fill the bill for Rotax air cooled engines.



That is as far as I looked.

I found Castrol TTS at the local Wal-Mart here in Nova  Scotia, Canada for $28.00 Plus taxes.  Clyde MacQuarrie.

I had a friend that worked in the lab at Homelite. They tested all the oils on the market at the time. Texaco Havoline with Royalgard won. Any good quality organic oil is fine as long as it contains a TCW-3 which is a rust inhibitor. Do the Amsoil products contain a rust inhibitor? I've flown behind Rotaxes for over 25yrs now with no oil related problems.

If he is still in business, Danny Day of Colorado Ultralights ( can't remember the Address) used to sell 2 stroke oil CUA 101 a synthetic that I used in a Rotax 503 for 20 years. I started with a new 503 single carb and did the break in with the oil sent with the engine. After about 20 hrs., I switched to CUA 101 and immediately dropped my cyl. head temps 30 degrees and they stayed there from then on. Some type of technology that smooths the pores of the cylinder wall metal. Great stuff. They also make Gear Aid which is an additive for the gearbox. This too is a great product. When I pulled the heads to decarb there was very little carbon buildup anywhere which I think is the result of this oil. Might be worth checking out. I still have half a gallon of this oil which I plan on using in a 447 Kolb Firestar when it gets ready to fly.

I used to buy stuff from Danny Day. I haven't heard anything from him in a 

few years or any advertisements in several years. I don't know if he is 

still around.

I haven't tried it to see if it works.

The CUA 101 was, in fact, a repackaged product called Optimol, now 

called Opti-2



http://www.opti2-4.com/html/opti-2.html



I've been running 100:1 using this product for over 450 hours, no 

decarbon, no plug changes. Am I pushing this oil? No! I am, however, 

an advocate of 100:1 oil for the reasons stated above. One of the 

little known facts of "50:1"  oils is that they are pre-cut with a 

diluent, such as Stoddards Solvent, to aid in miscibility. Such 

dilution renders the mix less than 50:1 right from the outset. Fact 

is, unless you know precisely the amount of base stock and the other 

constituents, your 50:1 estimation is strictly by volume and has 

little relation to lubrication quantity.



Does that mean 50:1 oils are bad? Nope. All it means is that I prefer 

something else. That's all it means......

I know it ain't fancy and glamorous but I used the full synthetic 2 cycle oil from Walmart in my recent Cuyana adventure, and it was very smooth running and no plug fouling and inexpensive. Still have plenty left I was using it in 40 to 1 if I remember it right. Back in my Yamaha motorcycle 2 stroke days I used whatever cheap 2 cycle oil I could find mostly because I had no idea about one oil from another. Sometime in the 70's I switched over to synthetic oil and was surprised at the lack of smoke and the improved smoothness. Nowadays when the occasion arises I use only 2 stroke synthetic lube and am happy with it. I need to add I never had a 2 cycle motor failure,, ever!!!!

I think the Walmart brand is called Super Tech oil, I doubt we would find anything better at 3 times the price, and its probably down the street from all of us, excluding Pat; poor fellow no Walmart in Britannia.

I just heard from the guy that bought my NEIUPORT back in Sept. I had used CUA 101 2 stroke oil in the 503 since right after breakin. About 200 hrs. Plugs always looked good-never any problems. The new owner of my NIEUport decided to rebuild the engine just to get it back to 0 time. He told me last week the mechanic who did the job said the engine looked brand new inside with no detectable wear. It had to be the oil. I also used CUA 101 gear box additive with the regular gear lube and he also said the gearbox inside looked and checked out like new. Engine and gearbox - 20 years old with 225 hrs tt. I would still use it if I could find it. Going to be running a 447
