[QUOTE="WWR, post: 727537, member: 19191"] First of all, running a low amount of oil is a VERY BAD THING, regardless of how "good" it is. Running the cheapest chain-saw 2-stroke oil from the nearest hardware store at 25:1 lubricates far better than any synthetic at 100:1, AND it helps seal the rings better. But I am in no way endorsing chain saw oil. Second, spooge is primarily a product of jetting and fuel choice. There are hundreds of guys running around 25:1 oil ratio and not getting any spooge. It is the rich air/fuel ratio that causes spooge. Mobil 1 15w50 is and excellent choice for the tranny. Typically smooths the shifting in bikes that are typically notchy shifters, and does not cause any clutch slippage. Breakdown tests show that it is one of the best oils you can use. Some are afraid that it does not have enough sheer strength, but it runs in thousands of 140hp Yammi R1's with no problems. As far as two-stroke oil goes, well, I get ragged on all the time. In the past, I have used Pennzoil TCW-III outboard dino oil with no real problems (absolutely NO wear issues or lubrication failures). Leaves the engine pretty clean of carbon deposits, but typically leaves alot of ash in the pipe. I have since switched to their 100% synthetic that seems to burn a little cleaner. Can be had from Walmart for about $20/gallon. I run this in my NSR (because of the oil injection setup), which is a v-twin 250 currently pulling about 35hp out of each 125cc cylinder. [/QUOTE]
