Castrol POWER1 A747 1L

Product Information

They also spend a lot of time going very slowly, with the engine revving quite hard, so a build-up of exhaust fumes and unburnt gunk form the engine is a topic some riders worry about. On the flip side, if you want to make as much smoke as possible (some riders of retro bikes like the RD350 like to recreate the hooligan scenes of their youth), then there isn’t a ‘high smoke’ oil but you could add in a higher concentration of oil into your tank. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/castrol/castrol-power1-a747-2t-semi-synthetic-2-stroke-racing-motorcycle-engine-oil-1-litre-6.jpg Having trawled the various forums and owners groups, the general consensus is that any quality two-stroke oil is fine and that hardly any riders have known a trials bike to seize up, even ones ridden in anger.

Whether you’re running a classic motorcycle or a modern chainsaw; if it has a two-stroke engine you’ll want to use the best quality 2t oil, to ensure the engine runs well and doesn’t seize. That’s my RD250 above and I run it on the best quality two-stroke oil because I don’t want to be riding around worrying whether it will seize, I just want to enjoy myself on it! Maxima 927 is the same kind of stuff but is supposed to be cleaner. I have never used it though, only castrol.

Recommended oils: Silkolene Comp 2 Plus or Castrol Power 1 Racing 2T What’s the best two-stroke oil for a scooter? We don’t really recommend it for use in modern machinery because there are more suitable modern oils available such as Castrol Power 1 Racing 10W-40 and Castrol Power 1 GPS 10W-40. The oil change guidelines for your machine will be calculated based on the use of a modern oil such as these and it is difficult for us to give accurate advice on what frequency of oil change would be needed if you were running on Castrol R40, but it could be as low as every 1,000 miles. Ultimate performance in extreme riding – oil flows fast and stays strong, reducing internal engine friction

This question is a little bit like the question of ‘what’s the best high street coffee chain?’. The answers are numerous, mainly based on opinion and can be debated until the cows come home. Then someone will come along and say none of them are any good and really throw a spanner in the works. The downside is that if the carbon build-up that accumulates in the engine isn’t serviced (i.e. removed) regularly, it can be responsible for fouled spark plugs, excessive smoke, and combustion deposits which can result in engine damage. What makes Ipone so interesting is that their oils are actually infused with fruity smells like strawberries. If the best smelling two stroke oil is all that you’re concerned about. This is it. Unlike a 4-stroke, there is no engine oil in the crankcases of a 2-stroke engine and therefore the piston is not being lubricated by a pool of oil held in the bottom of the engine (the sump). Vegetable oil, or castor oil, are naturally derived vegetable-based oils used forever and a day. When mixed at high oil to fuel ratios e.g. 20:1 and even higher in petrol, these oils have good lubrication potential, but their inability to remain mixed is a less than desirable attribute. For fast revving engines such as karts and smaller capacity motorcycle engines, vegetable-based oils often have what is called ‘high cling volume.’ Because of the high volume of oil and its normal viscosity, it appears to bind at intense rpm (15,000 +) to the bearing and piston skirts fending centrifugal force effects and aiding in heat dispersion.

Best Two Stroke Oils by bike type

Its value is inversely proportional to the change in the value of kinematic viscosity which means that the greater the value of the index, the lesser the changes will occur.

It’s really good to know I’m not the only one using Castrol R! And really interesting to hear your replies, so I’ll try to answer as many (or perhaps the few) replies to this topic. However the main topic revolves around getting the mix ratio right. Too much and you’ll gum up the engine, too little and you risk engine damage.

Castor oil is the type of lubricant that has been used in many types of engines, even before the birth of the almighty two stroke engine. What makes it different is the fact that it does not burn up in your bikes combustion chamber like many other oils. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/medium/castrol/castrol-power1-a747-2t-semi-synthetic-2-stroke-racing-motorcycle-engine-oil-1-litre-4.jpgToday’s cheap two-stroke oil is far better than the quality two-stroke oil of 30 years ago. Expensive two-stroke oil might be deemed unnecessary by some, mainly because vintage or classic motorcycles don’t rev to the same high rev ceilings as modern machines but if you can afford it, go for a quality brand like Castrol’s A747.

The improvement in mixing agents and additives to reduce oxidation, corrosion, separation of fuel / oil and cavitation by oil pumping makes these excellent lubricants for Endure, performance scooters and other 2-stroke motorcycles that tend to travel further between engine rebuilds Fully Synthetic Castrol POWER1 A747 is a high performance part synthetic two-stroke lubricant. It is designed primarily for use in water-cooled motorcycle engines of very high specific power output, as well as high performance Go-Kart engines.As we can see in the table below that the kinematic viscosity of A747 is relatively higher than its competitor at hot and cold temperatures. It is suitable for all makes of 4-stroke bikes, both carbureted and fuel injected where API SL (and below) and JASO MA or MA-2 specifications are recommended. It is suitable for all makes of 4-strokes bikes, both carburettor and fuel injected where API SL (and earlier) and JASO MA or MA2 specifications are recommended. https://cdn.opieoils.co.uk/images/variants/large/castrol/castrol-power1-a747-2t-semi-synthetic-2-stroke-racing-motorcycle-engine-oil-1-litre-3.jpg Ipone have been making two stroke oils for a while and have actually become quite popular with trials riders as well as motocross racers. I wouldn’t recommend their oils for enduro or trail riding where distance and protection are your primary concern.
