I'm suprised nobody uses red line or ams oil, motul is great oil I've used many of there products and it was great stuff, there 2 stroke gp 800 oil is fuking amazing no carbon and I could buzz my 125 all day long and not worry about burning my top end

mee too loudsubz
mee too loudsubz

when i use 10w30, it doesnt sound good.

castrol 5w30 is much better.

i found it makes my engine quieter, even when its old... compared to other 5w30's i've tried.
