927 sure smells good. Probably not great storage oil. It didn't seem to be any worse than anything else when I was using it. Did protect good.

It probably is but, it's not a 2 stroke and the name 250R commands respect from the Honda legions. 2, 3, or 4 wheels.
it is a 2 stroke it burns 2 stroke mix otherwise it is a 3-2/8 cycle engine :goofy: :roto2rie:

My weedeater ran good and idled good 32 to 1 saber if anyone taking notes.
My John Deere weed eater was made in Japan and is junk. I tried to seize it using stihl oil at 50:1 but felt sorry for it and made it happy with Motul 32:1.

Honestly, every oil I've tried leaves carbon on the piston tops.
I care more about the ring lands with regards to carbon than the tops of the piston.
Every oil I've ran has lubed and I doubt that any of them would produce any failures
The VP SEF that I run is why the piston shows the wash pattern.
The same mixxed oil in pump gas carbons up terribly with no wash pattern in some of my other 2 cycle stuff ........... including leaving some carbon in the ring lands


Fuel plays a large role in deposits and some oils do leave more deposits than others. Where the deposits are is critical, no matter what oil or what fuel one uses.

Piston top = NOT critical
Ring lands = Critical
One of the best posts I've read.

Noticed on the original Techniplate spec sheet, that it said a 13,000 max rpm. Figured I'd call them and see why...

Guy I talked to said, that was the point in their testing where the viscosity of the oil started breaking down...something about scraping molecules off the cylinder walls.

I know some guys here have used it higher than 13k. I'm just repeating what the guy told me. Klotz Tech phone # is 260-490-0489 if anyone else wants to call them.
Thank you Sir. I appreciate your honesty no matter what the majority use. I'm here to learn, not to follow the crowd like some do.
