Any good 2-cycle premix oil will work fine.

That said, I've found Silkolene Comp2 vastly superior to many others.

Bob,

I think Jim jr. would agree with me that Xeramic would be a good choice.
Might even be a guy at your track with it.


How did I do Jim jr????

Bob -

If you intend to race with a specific club or series, find out what their spec mix is (fuel type, oil type, and mix ratio) and stick with that. Two reasons:
* You want to "tune" to the same fuel you will be using at the races. Trying to diagnose a "new fuel" problem is the last thing you want to worry about.
* You don't want to end up with multiple jugs of mixed fuel at home, all different ages and brands.

Keep things simple, whenever possible.

The manual states 8oz. per gallon of castor based 2-cycle racing oil.

There are many good brands. As Joe stated Xeramic is a good choice. This is what I use in my engines.
