dolmar synthetic oil

[mtgrs737]

Amsoil two cycle oil is not tested to the JASO, ISO, Or any of API tests, read the bottles carefully. Says they are recomended where these certified oils are recomended. I backed down a dealer at the state fair yesterday and he admitted that Amsoil does not have their oils tested, he said it costs 5 million per oil type to have it tested, I think he is full of BS.

Why? Have you tested it versus, say, Racing 2T, which may not be on the market anymore, but is about half the price. Mobil's product is hard to beat, proven very high quality...and is the base stock for many other products.


It's all I've run for years now...at 36-1 or so...

A real shame they discontinued that oil...the best widely available synthetic!

I have a lifetime supply of it! (I think?) I have never used an oil like it.

Supposedly that stuff has a shelf life of about 2 years though...

The Synthetic mix comes in gray bottles (regular comes in black) and the synthetic says high performance on it.

I'm not saying it isn't synthetic, but i would feel a lot better about buying it if it said so on the label rather than some rep telling me it was. I'm just saying.......

I store alot of my oils and oil finishes and such in a fridge in the shed.

I don't know if it helps prolong the life of my 2T, but based on experience with refrigerating lots of kinds of products that have a shelf life I am guessing it will make a difference.

So... its says that we should not drink the stuff. But does it pass any standard testing? JASO or ISO?

it's definitely a syn base as that CAS # is a GroupV ester (di-2-ethylhexyl dimerate) http://www.products.cognis.com/cogn...C12570C8005673D9/$file/SYNATIVE_ES_2900_E.pdf

Seeing as Spectrum is a smaller, private label blender, I doubt that you'll see a JASO certificate for that oil, such as you would have with a Castrol (Stihl), Mobil, Motul, etc. product unless Makita/Dolmar US stumps up the $ for it.

Here's another sheet on the oil.

It should be the same as the husqvarna XP? mix.
