DBAR Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 In the summer time I run Maxima Castor 927 32:1, In the winter i've been trying some different premix oils, the reason I do this is because of the risk of the of the gas/oil separation with the Castor 927 in the cold temps. So i've be trying some of this....." Havoline Two-Cycle Engine Oil TC-W3 " and it runs great at 32:1 mix. Also says that it now delivers excellent performance in water-cooled and air-cooled applications. Also it allows good mixing with gasoline at very low temperatures and it is dyed teal blue for easy identification of fuel-oil mixtures in pre-mixed applications. For hard riding and or racing I still will use my trusty old Maxima Castor 927..... :cool: So i'd like to hear any coments anyone may have conserning the " Havoline Two-Cycle Engine Oil TC-W3 " ? Thanks, DBAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAR Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 it's boat oil brother!!while it probably won't hurt your engine?it's designed for boats.the nmma(national marine manufactures assoc.) puts it's registerd oil rating(tc-w3)on all marine grade two-stroke oils. This is a newer version man, it say its for motorcycles liquid cooled or air and marine use also, you are talking about the older stuff, this is colored bright blue also, I have the pdf doc if you want read it.?

DBAR Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hey I hardly ever ride in the winter, so that havoline runs and lubes ok and its easy to get and not very expensive, I use very little cause as I said I ride mainly in the warm weather, so then i'll run my good old Maxima Caster 927, its good shit, i've ran it for years, even back when I had my 88' TRX 250R. But that new havoline oil runs great burns clean without any deposits, so I think its ok for just some light trail riding in the cold and save a little money and its not that old kind that was stricktly for marine use and it wasn't blue like this, but i'd give it a try you know just for some light trail riding. Racing or hardcore nothing like that good smelling castor 927,,, mmmmmm,,,mmmm. That with some race gas and its like cotton candy,,, lol :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
