If it is TCW, then I wouldn't use it.

I know Keith, its hard enough for me to keep up with my own crap !

I've got gallons of KL200, gallons of Lucas, Gallons of K2, .............. and I cant believe that I'm actually considering buying more 2 cycle oil

Yup, I am considering Yamaha 2R.
Some of my 2 cycle stuff sits for the winter. I aint worried about the gas, I'm worried about the dang oil attracting moisture, like I pictured. Everywhere the water was beading, the aluminum was turning black. Shoot, Lawn Boy oil didnt do this. Maybe I'll go back to that ?

Where is Ben ????
@bwalker - what do you suggest ?
Yamalube and a good fogging oil with non e fuel.

Dude until I can find a better reason not to use it ..., mix her a tad richer than you're running that *s-word never harmed any of my stuff. I used quite a bit of it like gallons before I heard it was bad .... People drop stuff off to me boat oil was a big score once At the time all I had was 1 go to saw that *b-word is still looking real good internally Everyone will say it's bad. I respect that but I had no problem with what I used it was a few different brands I understand it's for liquid cooled engines and all that but I used it and would use it again I did run 32:1 in my ported stuff other than that it was 50:1 boat oil straight up

Before I knew better I ran tons of tcw api tc oils in lots of air cooled stuff. Most notably in some free air sleds in the 80s and early 90s only stuck one sled motor on a 45* day riding in slush snow. Now I think itsnot the best stuff but surly better then 30 wt motor oil of old days. Use it up tune a little rich and mix it a little heavy around 32-40:1 and run it. Tuning rich helps deal with the low temp oil. For that price is run it forsure.
