Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
whats the difference between "Stihl" oil "Echo" and "Husqavarna" oil? they all claim to be for air cooled 2 cycle engines......... I went to Lowe's a bit ago and all they have is the "Husquvarna" oil..... God-awful expensive; about a pop can's worth was $6! (good for 5 gallons at 50:1)

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
That's a really good question... But, I abuse the crap out of my Stihl equipment and the Stihl mix has been good to me...That's not saying another isn't just as good or better... But I go with the old saying," if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Let's put it in perspective though, gas is $4.oo a gallon and you're gonn'a worry about the price of the pre-mix oil? C'mon..... let's not be silly.

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
yeah but $6 for ~12 oz worth of oil? that does seem high.....the more I get to play with this thing I may hafta start buying 2 cyc oil in a bigger quantity; usually it gets "cheaper" that way.....

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
Again I use Wal-Mart Super-tech which is made by Shell oil co. and certified TCW3. I buy it by the gallon and 1.5 oz. per gallon smokes a little but it still does not foul plugs. I install a new plug each year and I have always felt they could have ran another year. Super Tech is inexpensive and works. What more could you want? I suggest that you use any oil rated TCW3 or better and pay what ever you want to pay for it. It is your money! if you think a $10.00 per qt oil rated TCW3 is going to do better than a $10.00 per gallon oil rated TCW3 by all means use it. Again your engine does not require anything better.... It's your money spend it as you see fit!

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
I went to walmart and bought 2 of the little bottles of two cycle oil and mixed it at 40:1 with 4 gallons of gas. so far it is running better. it smokes like it should and every once and a while it will smoke more but not like it used to smoke. I have been using it every day for the past week and a half and got all the carbon blown out of the muffler(left a trail of little smoking ambers for about a block and no longer rattles like a baby rattle) and am down to a half tank. when I refill it I will use the TCW3 oil and see it that works any better, but so far i have no complaints about the small bottles of two cycle oil. they were about 3.50 for both bottles.

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
Did you ever figure out the best oil to use in your HD golf cart? I'm reading tcw3 oil which is an outboard oil.

Re: what type of 2 cycle oil to use
Are the tcw3 oils that are for water cooled outboard the best to use in these old HD golf carts?
