Is Lucas synthetic 2 stroke oil good
- Thread starter Shotime
- Start date
If this is the oil you mean it is designed for Outboards, chainsaws and weedeaters, not air cooled motorcycle engines.

This would be a better choice.

On reading the spec sheet the racing oil is suitable.

Lucas Semi Synthetic 2-CYCLE Oil
Lucas High Performance Semi-Sythetic 2 CYCLE Oil has been specifically developed to give a long trouble-free life to gasoline-powered 2-cycle engines. Designed for any oil injection system or pre mix up to 50:1. Use in Snowmobiles, Weed Eaters, Leaf Blowers, Chain Saws and more.
Lucas High Performance Semi-Synthetic 2 Cycle Racing Oil uses an advanced "Smokeless" formula specially blended from mineral oil, synthetic oil and a low ash additive package containing fortified dispersant inhibitors. It also contains exclusive detergents and lubricants. The end result of this advanced technology is a more thorough burning of the fuel resulting in more power and fewer emissions.
Lucas ashless detergent inhibitor package minimizes spark plug fouling, pre-ignition, ring sticking and combustion chamber deposits. The user can expect cleaner exhaust ports and spark plugs, less carbn buildup on the piston rings, skirts, crown and under crown areas. For more specific information on each racing oil please review our product specification sheets.
Key Benefits
•Clean burning "Smokeless"
•Mixes well with gasolines at all temperatures
•Meets requirements for "low smoke" oils
•Low Ash
•Suitable for use in air-cooled engines
•Surpasses Mercury, Evinrude and Johnson Motors requirements
•Expect longer ring life, less fuel consumption and no filter clogging
•Excellent rust protection during storage
•Prevents carbon deposits
•Prevents piston burning and corrosion caused by combustion residue
•Meets ISO GD and JASO FD
•Exceeds API TC
My information was based on the above suitable for use in air cooled engines, they do not state air cooled motorcycle engines.

It is suitable for air cooled engines, chain saws, weed eaters are air cooled, which are temperature controlled by a fan and cowling.
They do not state air cooled motorcycles, which have wildly varying temperature changes, I am sceptical that this oil would be man enough to do good enough job for my motors.
But on the other hand, I am a "bean oil" man through and through, and would not consider running anything else.

In all fairness, I have not heard of anything bad from anyone running it.
The spec sheet says that it is suitable for ATVs, and all air cooled engines.
I like to read, on the bottle what a product will actually be good for.
I suppose that I am a particular "old fart"` at times but I prefer to see things documented.

Its all good, it is great to get feedback from you as you are using the oil, and you can share your experiences.
The Lucas oil may just be the answer for those on a tight budget.
Just because I would not use it, is not a real good reason for others not to.
It is discussions like this that people learn from, thanks for "calling me".
