Come on guys, there isn't an oil made that cannot be brought under another name brand.
This from another forum
2 cycle oil has been beat to death on this forum and most others that are marine related. I worked in the lubricants industry for over 2 decades. Here is the hull truth.
Merc and Yam don't make oil. The write spec and set for bid. Last I knew, Citgo blended Merc products.
You will see these words used a LOT in the lubicants industry- "Meets or exceeds". Lube specs are very precise and arguing whether a product "meets" or "exceeds" a spec is a waste of time. Shell/Pennzoil/Quaker State or SOPUS, the US distributor (Shell Oil Products United States) is a world leader in lubricant technology, additive technology, and product blending. The XLF 2 cycle oil sold at Wallyworld is as good as ANY semi-syn product on the market. If your application doesn't absolutely require full synthetic (ie E-tec 100:1) then at $13/gal. there is no better value for 2 cycle oil, period.
