Mobil 1 Racing 2T Synthetic

[Stihlman441]

Ha guys i want to change to a full synthetic 2 cycle oil.
In Australia Stihl dont have Ultra,but i found the Mobil 1 Racing 2T .
The question i have is it has NO dye colouring it at all,i just looks like oil.In past posts people say about the red colour.Not in the Australian one ?............:help:

Also is there a reason why most people mix at a greater rate than 50:1 ?......

G'day
I have bought Mobil 2T from outlets here in South Aus before that have no dye. Last time I decided to go a 4 litre bottle straight from a depot (Motorex I think)
Red dye in that bottle.
I mix 40:1 for most of my equipment.'

PS, Have switched to Castrol TTS now because it is easy to obtain here and I'm very happy with it (not the price though

Big 2T fan here, but that would go for pretty much any brand name synthetic. In the US, it's a bargain compared to even saw branded dino oil.

My newest bottle of 2T is deep red. I'm surprised they wouldn't put it in everywhere?

I run it at 40:1 with Mobil Premium gasoline. The reason I go 40:1 is my Stihls are manufacturer recommended at 50:1, Poulan at 40:1, Eskimo ice auger at 25:1, Dad's old Jonsered-no idea. So I wanted one mix for all my air cooled 2 strokes and kind of went for middle ground. I'm too lazy to make all those different mixes, and the gas stays nice and fresh because I use it in everything.

So far, so good. I've pulled plugs to look and everything seems clean, run better and no smoke after all the dino oil was burnt out of the muffler.

Another reason I went with it is because there IS a difference in gas in my area. I've had my best luck with Mobil gas, so I feel good about using their oil.

Oldsaw makes a good point too, we're lucky in the states as far as availability. I prefer Mobil, but I could run several different brands of synthetic TC without a big problem.

Autozone in Rhinelander, in the back with the motorcycle oils.

The one in Weston should have it, or they can get it if you ask. Autozone is the ONLY place I could find it.

I found it at O'Reilly's here in Missouri. $8 a quart and they had about 8 quarts on the shelf

This is where I buy mine. Good shipping rate and quick shipping. I bought a case last year that had 4 bottles with dye and 2 without, Kinda wierd.

I've used mx2t mixed at 32:1 in ported and stock saws since 2001,without any problems! When you pop off a barrel there is a nice oily film.Slickest stuff around!! +1 Autozone

32:1, carb adjusted appropriately

32:1, carb adjusted appropriately. I use it in my old Shindaiwa brush cutter, B-45 and on the gas cap it says 25:1. Previously used petroleum based oils at 40:1. My 52 cc Makita saw manual indicates proprietary oil at 50:1 or other oils at 40:1. I can't find Makita oil anywhere, I think the whale hunting ban has caused that. Dolmar brand might be a good substitute but I decided to try the Mobil synthetic and haven't looked back. 32:1 seems like a good ratio as long as the carburetor is adjusted for that mix. I like the idea of ample lube besides I try to do my part to help the ailing oil industry in these hard times.

I run the same, Mobil 1 2T in all my equipment. Perhaps it is over kill, perhaps not. None of them have complained to date!:hmm3grin2orange:

Hi, I just picked up a case of the mobile synthetic oil...

What is the proper ration of oil to gas for a 40:1 mix..

One gallon has 128 oz.
128 divided by 40 = 3.2 oz per gallon of mix

I use 50:1 and mix 2.5 gallons at a time.
128/50=2.56oz X 2.5gal.= 6.4 oz. oil
