Changing Two Stroke Oil

Postby Meiring » Wed Nov 27, 2013 9:47 am

I have been informed that I can not use pre mix semi synthetic or organic oil if fully synthetic oil was used in the motor (582) before. How do I then swop from fully synthetic to semi synthetic pre mix?

No thats bull just dont mix them ,just train the tank and carbs and putt in your new fiel mix
If i may ask what oil are you using now and what do you want to switch to
Ived used castrol power 1 fully on my 582 for 2 years and i never complaint

The previous owner used Belray fully synthetic (R80.00 for 380ml !!) I want to change to Engen semi synthetic. The reason for this choice is that most trikes at my airfield uses Engen semi, so we can buy in bigger quantities. My trike is currently on the ground, waiting for change of ownership to be registered.

Yes i understand your point well engine is also a very good two stroke nothing wrong with that
The guys at kroon also stick to that
Only reason i used castrol power 1 fully is because,the response on my throtle was better
Plus the carbon build up is a bit les,its smoke less and it took my bogging away
Is a bit expensive i paid 80 for a litre
And the negetive side is its same colour a fuel so you cant see the fuel is mixed
Butt yes you can just drain and switch no prob
Enjoy
