Naww I think from what I have read Jim just likes to bitch and moan and why even bring the subject up of burning 30w oil?? This isnt 1960 or 1970.
I can GUARANTEE no one on this board burns 30w oil in a two stroke!

I have burnt Interceptor and Dominator oils in my HEAVLY modded 1200CC two stroke skis and if I could, thats all I would run.

What do you mean if you could? Why can't you run that all the time?
As far as Jim, he's just trying to have fun - it's his sense of humor

My point is, if there is no difference and your not going to use the new stuff why ask??
If the 30 w is cacking your plugs then maybe its time to upgrade to a better oil????

Jim, to answer your question. It's kinda like insurance on your engine.....except this is not one that you pay into and never get anything out of. The prices you see are not my prices and therefore you can expect to save 20 - 25% and thus not be paying that much more! What you get with these oils is simple, better protection. These oils, unlike the ones from back in the day , are deigned to work through the heat and keep protecting. For a small example, that is exactly why my diesel truck will be running around 22,500 miles on a single oil change! It is made to last! Now when you put that into perspective, let's talk about all this extra money you will be spending..... or not be spending. Less engine malfunctions, more efficiency and, with my price, at about the same cost! Jim, I am not just trying to sell you anything. In fact, you dont even have to buy it from me. Just trying to help you out with your question!
