non-synthetic 2 cycle oil

Roy Suomi · Mar 10, 2010

I'm having a problem finding NON-synthetic 2 cycle motor oil..Found lots of synthetics but nothing that is a mineral based oil without synthetics....I've heard that synthetic should not be used in the fuel system for some reason..I need this for my "Army Brat" M-1008 military pickup truck fuel system..I have used Stanadyne and other additives available but these are pretty pricey compared to 2 cycle oils...Anyone know of a brand name that is pure mineral oil ?? Thanks Roy

Just bought a case of pennzoil that the parts store on post had in the back corner of the stock room because they joined the synthetic generation..........

I buy it at Wal-Mart in gallon jugs. I use it in my 1998 Dodge Cummins... Gene

"Who" told you this story about not using synthetics ?

99% of all "so called" synthetic oil today isn't true synthetic anyway. It comes from oil/tar sands and oil shale deposits. I have no idea how they are able to use this term because the other fuels from the same deposits aren't synthetic. Ask Canadian SynCrude.........

In the old days we just used any brand (except penzoil) of 30w nondetergent oil.

What about Castrol Super 2 cycle oil or Opti? They're non synthetic. Dave

Old 2 stroke cycles and outboards had oil use crossreferences in manuals- my old Suzuki premix had suggest use of 30 weight nondetergent low ash- the IHC was perfect crossmatch. John Deere dealer with old letter series customers usually has it in 20 and 30 weight. RN

I don't remember where I heard this..But they were very adament about using a pure mineral oil and not a synthetic....That sort of spooked me..
