A little pre mix info I found
- Thread starter blasterdemon7
- Start date
so basically we want group IV base stock Polyalphoelfin (PAO) oil? and we should mix said oil at a leaner 50:1? lost me lol
Synthetic oils, especially amsoil are amazing lubricants. I ran my blaster at 50:1 for 2 years beating the hell out of it, and 3 dune trips where it was running the whole time. When it was time to rebuild the rings were worn so much they were the exact size of the piston. Nothing else was wrong, and there was almost no carbon build up.
Keep in mind you should go leaner on your oil to fuel mix with synthetics because they dont need as much oil to lubricate as well as petro based oils. However when you mix in less oil you then actually richen your air/fuel ratio. Many times you can drop down a main jet size and possibly a clip or a half clip (washer).

so, how many hours was it on the rings? 2 years sounds like it could've been a ton and more than regular or less than regular replacement for rings depending on how many hours they should be changed at and how many you logged? I'm looking at putting amsoil in my ltr for the regular 4 stroke oil
but all the guys are using the 0w40... so I'm just not sure lol
