Oil????

[smithy692005]

Hi guys,

cant get hold of bombardia xps 2stroke for my rx 951 carb lump, but have found an alternative 2 stroke oil-its called quicksilver pwc 2 stroke oil.

anyone much about it?

thanks

It works fine and meets all the specs. I found a even cheaper alternative at my locally academy sports.

just make sure it isn't the TC-w3 version. If it says PWC in big letters, in the middle of the label.... then it should safe. The only reason I'm restating the obvious is because there was a guy last summer using the "out-board" oil because it said it was ok for pwc.

oh, have been told its no good due to it not being low ash?

apparently no good for the rave valves?

is there truth in this?

Low ash is what you want to use. Other outboards use ashless. The main things you are looking for is the rating of API TC. The Quicksilver PWC full synthetic is what I use.

quicksilver PWC 2 stroke synth blend API-TC

yes thats good oil. I use it in my GTX. The stuff pictured is Full Synthetic, but blend is what I use

:agree: I use the same thing. I think the blend is in the silver jug. But either will work.
